Overview
The Ads Manager team builds the core self-serve platform that brands, agencies, and retailers use to create, manage, and optimize their advertising campaigns on Instacart. We own the campaign creation flows, creative management, reporting dashboards, and design system foundations that power it.
We are hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer II (L6) to co-own the technical roadmap for our advertiser-facing experience, modernize our frontend architecture, and scale complex campaign management and reporting interfaces while elevating our component library, design system, performance, and accessibility across the platform.
You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, Backend, and Data Science teams to build reusable UI abstractions and deliver high-impact features across pillars such as Campaign Activation, Creative & Reporting, Design System & Platform, Performance & Accessibility, and novel AI initiatives.
About the Job
As a Senior II Frontend Engineer (L6) on the Ads Manager team, you will own the team’s frontend technical direction and lead large, multi-quarter initiatives that shape how advertisers plan, launch, and optimize campaigns on Instacart. You’ll define key architectural patterns, improve developer productivity and observability, and act as a primary technical partner to product, design, data science, and backend teams.
- Lead the technical roadmap and architecture for Ads Manager’s web applications, balancing near-term delivery with long-term scalability and extensibility.
- Design, build, and maintain high-quality React UIs for campaign creation, management, reporting, and optimization.
- Define and evolve shared components, state management, and abstractions that make the surface easier to extend and maintain.
- Partner with backend teams on API and data contracts that enable robust, observable, and cost-efficient systems.
- Collaborate with other frontend leads and peers across the company to build alignment on frontend standards and best practices.
- Champion observability, performance, and reliability for Ads Manager, including metrics, logging, tracing, and on-call readiness for critical flows.
- Proactively drive modernization and technical debt paydown, including migrations and refactors of legacy frontend code.
- Embed security-by-design into frontend architecture and lead response for significant security or reliability issues touching Ads Manager UI.
- Propose and lead team-wide and cross-team initiatives on behalf of the EM, aligning stakeholders and driving execution across Ads and partner teams.
- Actively work with designers to build a best-in-class experience for users.
- Mentor and sponsor engineers up to L5, improve onboarding and team practices, and help resolve cross-team execution issues.
- Help define how the team uses AI-assisted development tools (for code, tests, and refactors), including patterns and best practices.
About You
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience building modern web applications, with substantial ownership of complex, user-facing products.
- Deep expertise in Node.js and React (hooks, state management, performance tuning) in large codebases.
- Strong skills in frontend architecture: modularization, shared components, routing, data fetching, and error handling.
- Experience designing and integrating with REST and/or GraphQL APIs, working closely with backend teams.
- Proven track record leading large, ambiguous, multi-stakeholder projects from design through rollout and operations.
- Demonstrated impact on team productivity and code health through abstractions, tooling, testing, and CI improvements.
- Experience with monitoring and observability for web apps (e.g., Datadog or similar).
- Comfortable using AI-assisted developer tools in day-to-day work and interested in scaling their use across the team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with engineers, PMs, designers, and other partners.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience leading large-scale, data-heavy UIs such as analytics dashboards, editors, or complex workflows.
- Hands-on experience with GraphQL at scale (schemas, client patterns, performance).
- Experience with automation testing frameworks such as Selenium, Cypress, or Playwright.
- Deep experience with frontend performance and reliability (bundle optimization, code-splitting, resiliency patterns).
- Led modernization efforts or major migrations (framework upgrades, design system adoption, legacy deprecation).
- Experience with common design tools such as Figma.
- Track record mentoring L3–L5 engineers and acting as a go-to expert for a domain or surface area.

Tips for Your Frontend Manager Job Search
Show architecture decisions in your resume
Frontend managers get hired on judgment, not just output. Call out the specific architectural decisions you made, component libraries you standardized, build tooling you migrated to, or technical debt you scoped and resolved. Hiring teams want to see how you think, not just what shipped.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists frontend manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to the product stack
A job listing that mentions design tokens, micro-frontends, or server-side rendering signals the team's maturity level. Mirror that language in your resume when it reflects real experience. Generic frontend manager resumes get filtered out fast at companies with specific platform opinions.
Target companies by their engineering culture
Look past the job title and read the engineering blog or recent tech talks from the company. Frontend managers who thrive at platform-focused orgs struggle in feature-factory environments, and vice versa. Matching your working style to the company's development culture matters more than matching the tech stack.
Prepare a people-management story for every interview
Most frontend manager panels include at least one behavioral round focused on how you handled underperformance, disagreement with a product decision, or a team member leaving mid-project. Prepare two or three concrete situations from your own history with clear actions and outcomes, not hypotheticals.
Negotiate scope and reporting structure at the offer stage
Before accepting, clarify whether the role owns hiring decisions, has a direct line to design and product leadership, or sits inside a larger engineering org with its own manager. These structural details affect your day-to-day authority more than any other term in the offer.
Frontend Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most frontend managers?
Walmart, Burlington Stores, and Safeway are hiring the most frontend managers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and New York, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially strong at companies scaling their consumer-facing products or consolidating design system infrastructure.
How many frontend manager jobs are remote?
About 41% of frontend manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting strong employer flexibility for experienced engineering leaders. Roles focused on design system ownership and platform architecture tend to have the highest remote availability, while positions requiring close in-person collaboration with product and design teams are more likely to be hybrid or on-site.
How do you become a frontend manager?
Start by taking on informal leadership within your current team, such as owning a component library, mentoring junior engineers, or leading a cross-functional initiative. Document those contributions concretely, then move into a formal tech lead or staff engineer role before stepping into direct management. Most employers expect you to have shipped at scale and to have handled at least some performance or hiring conversations before moving into a manager title.
Can you get a frontend manager job with limited management experience?
Yes, especially if you can point to concrete leadership moments even without a formal manager title. Companies hiring their first frontend manager or growing a small engineering team often promote strong senior engineers who have already set technical direction, run code reviews, and unblocked teammates. Frame your experience around decisions you owned and engineers you influenced, not just the code you wrote.
What does the frontend manager interview process look like?
Most frontend manager interviews include a recruiter screen, a technical discussion focused on past architecture or tooling decisions, a behavioral round covering people management and cross-functional collaboration, and a final panel with engineering leadership or a hiring committee. Some companies add a take-home exercise or a live system design session. The process typically runs across several weeks from first contact to offer.
Where can I find and apply to frontend manager jobs?
You can find and apply to frontend manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from companies across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level, tech stack, and industry preference, then apply directly to each one that fits.
