Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and implementation of large‑scale, cross‑team initiatives that impact viewer platform, products and services
  • Identify, frame, and prioritize high‑impact technical problems aligned with product and platform strategy
  • Solve complex, ambiguous technical problems by breaking them down into clear approaches and executable plans

  • Improve engineering velocity by introducing tools, frameworks, and best practices that scale across the organization
  • Lead root‑cause analysis of systemic issues and implement durable, cross‑platform solutions
  • Mentor senior engineers and elevate engineering standards across the organization
  • Partner with Product, UX, and platform teams to shape long‑term roadmap and translate business needs into technical strategy
  • Partner with Architects and evolve system architecture to ensure long‑term extensibility, maintainability, and performance across the ecosystem

Minimum Qualifications

  • Expert‑level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web technologies
  • Strong experience designing and evolving complex system architectures across multiple teams or domains
  • Deep understanding of high‑performance applications, distributed systems, and service‑oriented architecture
  • Proven ability to lead cross‑team technical initiatives and influence without direct authority
  • Strong experience with performance optimization, debugging, and operating complex production systems
  • Experience with modern development practices, including CI/CD and automated testing (e.g., Jest, Cypress)
  • Experience working in Agile environments with short release cycles
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently in highly ambiguous problem spaces
  • Demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable, well‑documented code
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
  • University degree in a related field or equivalent experience will be considered
  • Available for on‑call work, on a rotation basis

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with cloud‑native architectures and large‑scale distributed systems
  • Expertise in 2D/3D visualization systems, rendering engines, or graphics technologies
  • Experience building or evolving platform ecosystems (APIs, extensibility, developer platforms)
  • Experience serving in a Scrum leadership capacity
