Responsibilities
- Stay in the Code: Write, review, and ship production Angular alongside the team; keep a meaningful share of your time hands-on
- Own frontend architecture - standalone components, Signals-based state, zoneless change detection, modern control flow (@if/@for/@switch), and a clear state-management strategy (NgRx / NgRx Signals)
- Lead incremental migration from legacy Angular (v10–v12, Akita, Karma/Jasmine) into the modern stack (Angular 20, Jest + Angular Testing Library) without big-bang rewrites or stalling feature delivery
- Drive consistency and reuse with Angular Material and a shared component library

- Build UIs that stay responsive at scale - large datasets, high-volume real-time streams, and large device fleets - and validate behavior under load
- Design resilient real-time integrations using WebSockets, MQTT, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for device-to-cloud and live dashboard scenarios
- Champion secure coding practices and support SOC 2 controls - secure SSO/OAuth/OIDC flows, safe token handling, XSS/CSRF protection, Content Security Policy, and least-privilege access
- Manage dependency and supply-chain risk (SCA, vulnerability remediation, secrets hygiene) across the frontend and CI/CD pipeline
- Help produce evidence and uphold change-management and access controls required for audits
- Regular touchpoints focused on career growth, unblocking, and building trust
- Set expectations, deliver continuous feedback, and write formal performance reviews
- Run technical screens, raise the bar, onboard new talent, and manage exits or PIPs when needed
- Partner with the team to refine, estimate, and deliver a predictable backlog; track team health and KPIs (velocity, cycle time)
- Collaborate with backend, device, in-reality, and product leaders on API contracts, architecture, and technical cohesion
- Serve as a point person for high-priority production issues affecting the frontend
- Monitor daily workflow, task assignment, and output quality for a designated team of employees and/or contractors
- Conduct regular one-on-one meetings to provide coaching, feedback, and professional development guidance
- Review and approve timecards, leave requests, and expense reports in alignment with company policy
- Identify bandwidth issues and redistribute tasks to ensure project deadlines are met without burnout
- Participate in the interview process for potential new hires or contractors and provide formal feedback/recommendations to the hiring manager
- Maintain objective records of performance wins and challenges to support annual reviews or formal PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans)
- Identify conduct or performance issues and provide documented recommendations for corrective action to the Reporting Manager
- Ensure all team members and contractors understand and adhere to departmental SOPs and company-wide policies
- Provide regular status updates to the Manager regarding team health, project milestones, and any personnel risks
