Job Description

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities)
As a Senior Software Developer on our Application Shell & User Experience Team, you’ll help build the UX “platform layer” that other teams rely on daily:

Design, build, and evolve reusable UI libraries and web components (including component standards, versioning strategy, and adoption across applications).
Develop and maintain UI frameworks and platform webapps (e.g., navigation, modal frameworks, assist panel, remote loader, attachment modal) used across micro-frontends.
Own quality end-to-end: write maintainable code, add test automation, and ensure stable releases for teams downstream.
Partner closely with UX and product to intake requests and deliver high-quality, consistent, accessible experiences.
Bake accessibility into everything (WCAG patterns, testing, and remediation guidance for consuming teams).
Contribute to platform modernization initiatives, including Angular upgrade workstreams and “stop gap” migration approaches.
Support product analytics instrumentation and integrations (Pendo, Datadog Real User Monitoring) that help teams understand user behavior and UI performance.

Primary Tech Stack

You’ll be hands-on with a modern front-end + cloud + automation toolchain, including:
Angular
StencilJS (web components)
TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS
StorybookJS
AWS / serverless architecture patterns
Selenium/Playwright + BrowserStack-driven automation
Observability & analytics: Pendo, Datadog RUM (DDRUM)

What We’re Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

Strong experience building modern web applications with TypeScript/JavaScript and component-based UI architecture.
Production experience with Angular and/or web components (StencilJS or similar).
Proven ability to build reusable UI systems (libraries, design systems, shared components) used by multiple teams.
Solid engineering fundamentals: code quality, testing, debugging, performance, and working in a multi-repo ecosystem.
Familiarity with CI/CD-friendly automation (e.g., Playwright-style testing) and release discipline for shared dependencies.
Comfort collaborating cross-functionally (engineering + UX + product) in a platform/enablement team model.

Nice-to-Have

Experience with micro-frontend architectures (e.g., Module Federation concepts) and “platform shell” patterns.
Working knowledge of AWS and serverless approaches for UI-adjacent services.
Strong accessibility experience (ARIA patterns, testing tools like Axe/BrowserStack).
Experience integrating analytics/telemetry (Pendo, Datadog RUM) into UI frameworks.

Why Join Our Team?

High impact: your work becomes the default UI building blocks across multiple products.
Real platform ownership: you’ll shape standards for UX consistency, accessibility, observability, and framework evolution across the ecosystem.
Wide technical surface area: You will be improving the developer experience for partner teams by developing reusable components, frameworks, micro-frontends, automation tools, and cloud-backed UI features.
