• Provide technical direction for solutions built using ReactJS, TypeScript, Next.js, and GraphQL.

• Design scalable, modular, maintainable, secure, and reliable frontend application architectures.

• Lead frontend system design and evaluate architectural trade-offs aligned with business and engineering goals.

• Define API-first and headless architecture patterns for integrating commerce, content, and enterprise platforms.

• Partner with Product, Design, Architecture, Quality Engineering, and Platform teams to deliver optimized consumer journeys.

• Drive frontend performance engineering with a strong focus on Core Web Vitals and real-user experience.

• Define strategies for rendering, code splitting, lazy loading, asset optimisation, caching, and bundle management.

• Apply CDN and edge technologies to improve application performance, scalability, and global availability.

• Ensure digital experiences meet WCAG accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.

• Partner with UX and Design teams to develop reusable components and evolve enterprise design systems.

• Support feature flagging, experimentation, A/B testing, and data-driven optimisation of consumer journeys.
