Principal Architect - FrontEnd

CONFIDENTIAL SEARCH Fullstack Frontend Architect Location: Bengaluru (In-office, 6 days/week) Compensation: Market-leading cash compensation with meaningful long-term equity. About the Opportunity We are partnering with a well-funded AI-native product company building a next-generation browser-based platform used by modern product teams.

The engineering culture is intensely product-focused, quality-obsessed, and hands-on. You'll join a small team where architecture decisions directly shape the product and where engineers are expected to build for scale, speed, and exceptional user experience. What You'll Own

• Own the frontend architecture for a large-scale browser application.
• Define rendering, state management, extensibility, and platform strategy.
• Build and evolve reusable design systems and component libraries.
• Drive frontend performance, reliability, observability, and release quality.
• Partner with product, design, AI, and backend teams on platform decisions.
• Mentor engineers through architecture reviews and engineering standards. Ideal Background
• 10–15 years building complex web applications.
• Deep expertise in React, TypeScript and modern frontend architecture.
• Strong experience with design systems, Storybook, micro-frontends, component libraries, or frontend platforms.
• Demonstrated ownership of performance optimization, scalability, rendering, and developer experience.
• Experience with GraphQL, Node.js, Web. Sockets, or AI-assisted engineering workflows is a plus.
• Product company experience is strongly preferred. You'll Stand Out If You've Built Browser-based products, visual builders, collaborative applications, workflow tools, developer tools, rich UI platforms, multi-pane interfaces, dashboards, or high-performance SaaS products. Who Thrives Here This role suits engineers who enjoy high ownership, solving difficult frontend engineering problems, raising engineering standards, and building products that users depend on every day. If you care deeply about craftsmanship, performance, and product excellence, this is an opportunity to create lasting technical impact.
