Your Role:
As a Senior Engineering Manager (Frontend), you’ll lead the development and launch of consumer-facing web applications and the backend-for-frontend (BFF) / service-proxy layer that powers them. You’ll make architecture decisions, ship iteratively, and set engineering quality bars across the stack.

- Build performant, accessible React/Next.js + TypeScript UIs; apply SSR/SSG pragmatically, instrument analytics, and support experimentation/A‑B testing.
- Design and implement reliable REST/GraphQL APIs and BFF services; enforce clear contracts, versioning, and strong observability.
- Drive performance, security, and reliability at scale (Core Web Vitals, caching/CDN, rate limiting, logging/metrics/tracing, incident response).
- Mentor engineers, review designs/code, and collaborate with Product/Design to translate requirements into high‑quality, incremental releases.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
- 10+ years building and operating production web applications and services; 3+ years leading technical delivery and/or architecture.
- Strong programming in TypeScript/JavaScript and at least one backend stack (Node.js or Java); deep understanding of HTTP, API design, and web security.
- Hands‑on with modern web tooling (React, Next.js), automated testing, and CI/CD; proficiency with Docker and a major cloud (AWS preferred).
- Solid data/systems skills: relational and NoSQL stores, caching (Redis), message queues, and performance optimization.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Professional working proficiency bilingual in Mandarin.
- Frontend: React 18+/TypeScript, Next.js; modern state/data (Redux Toolkit, TanStack Query); accessibility (WCAG); testing (Jest/Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress).
- Backend: Node.js (NestJS/Express/Fastify) or Java (Spring Boot); REST/GraphQL; BFF pattern; messaging (Kafka/RabbitMQ); caching (Redis).
- Cloud: AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, CloudFront, S3, RDS/Aurora/DynamoDB, IAM) and IaC (CloudFormation or Terraform).
- CI/CD & DevOps: GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins; trunk‑based development; blue/green or canary deployments.
- Observability & Security: Open Telemetry; Prometheus/Grafana or Datadog/New Relic; OAuth2/OIDC; OWASP best practices; secrets management.
- Data: PostgreSQL/MySQL; MongoDB; schema design and query tuning.
- CRM & Integrations: SAP, Salesforce, or similar.
