Business:CTO Platforms

Job ID：58128

Principal responsibilities

• Own and drive the frontend delivery for AI Platform web experiences, including translating requirements into scalable UI features, defining acceptance criteria, and ensuring consistent user outcomes across releases.
• Define, maintain, and continuously improve frontend quality baselines, CI/CD quality gates, and release readiness criteria (e.g., test coverage, accessibility, performance budgets, bundle size thresholds).
• Design and implement robust frontend architecture and reusable component frameworks, including integration patterns for REST/GraphQL APIs, state management, and regression-safe UI composition.
• Analyse frontend performance and runtime behaviour (rendering efficiency, bundle size, network usage, browser compatibility), identify constraints, and provide actionable recommendations to improve user experience and reliability.
• Establish frontend engineering standards, reusable patterns, best practices, and governance for UI quality (clean architecture, code review standards, testing conventions, design-system alignment).
• Support build-out of new AI platform capabilities in the UI, including experiences that integrate LLM services, model-serving APIs, orchestration workflows, retrieval/search, and other integration layers—ensuring secure, usable, and accessible interactions.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to assess release risks and provide engineering insights for production readiness decisions, including monitoring signals, incident learnings, and continuous improvement actions.

Knowledge & Experience/Qualifications

• Strong experience (5yr+) building modern web applications with React and TypeScript, ideally for enterprise-scale platforms or complex, data-heavy products. Proven hands-on ability to deliver maintainable UI architecture and high-quality user experiences.
• Strong engineering (5yr+) fundamentals in HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+), with solid understanding of component design, state management patterns (e.g., React Context, Redux, Zustand), and asynchronous data flows.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with backend services and APIs (REST and/or GraphQL), including handling authentication/authorisation flows, error handling, caching, and resilience patterns for real-world production usage.
• Demonstrates an AI-native mindset, applying AI-driven approaches to improve productivity, code quality, and decision-making (e.g., faster prototyping, better testing, smarter debugging).
• Experienced in leveraging coding assistants (e.g., AI pair-programming tools) to accelerate development, enhance code quality, and support engineering best practices (clean architecture, testing discipline, review quality).

What additional skills will be good to have?

• Experience building frontend experiences for AI/ML platforms, including UIs for LLM services, GenAI applications, model-serving APIs, RAG workflows, vector search, and AI orchestration/agent tooling.
• Understanding of UX and performance risks in AI-enabled products, such as latency variability, streaming response UX (token-by-token rendering), long-running tasks, partial failures/timeouts, prompt workflow patterns, and evaluation/feedback loops surfaced in the UI.
• Experience with observability and monitoring for web applications and production support, such as Grafana dashboards, AppDynamics, OpenTelemetry, and/or Real User Monitoring (RUM).
• Experience working effectively with cloud-based environments (GCP, AWS, Azure, or private cloud), and understanding how frontend deployments interact with CDN/caching, edge routing, and environment configuration.
• Knowledge of API integration and traffic/security patterns relevant to frontend clients: API gateways, authentication/authorisation flows (e.g., OAuth/OIDC concepts), rate limiting/throttling considerations, and resilient request patterns.W
• Familiarity with release governance and environment management for frontend delivery, including feature flags, configuration management, and safe rollout practices.
• 1. Experience building reusable frontend frameworks (component libraries/design systems), shared tooling (linting, build templates), and quality dashboards (e.g., test coverage, performance budgets, accessibility metrics).
• 1. Relevant certifications or structured training in frontend engineering, cloud, DevOps, accessibility (e.g., WCAG), or AI/ML/GenAI would be advantageous.
