Software Engineer II - Frontend - Developer Platform

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer II – Frontend – Developer Platform based in Canada. As a Software Engineer II specializing in Frontend Developer Platforms, you will help improve the tools, infrastructure, and workflows that enable engineering teams to build and deliver high-quality web applications efficiently. You will focus on optimizing development environments, build systems, automated testing, and continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Working with modern frontend technologies, including React, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Node. js, you will simplify complex engineering processes and improve developer productivity. You will also contribute to the evolution of shared libraries, monorepos, and development tooling while ensuring reliability, scalability, and maintainability. Collaborating with product, infrastructure, and engineering teams, you will identify technical challenges and deliver practical solutions that benefit the wider organization. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on a global financial technology platform within a remote-first, collaborative, and innovation-driven environment. Accountabilities: - Improve frontend development productivity by optimizing build processes, type checking, linting, and automated testing, both locally and within continuous integration environments. - Maintain and evolve monorepos, package management systems, shared configurations, and internal libraries to make development across multiple applications and teams more efficient and reliable. - Simplify development environment setup by creating accessible tools, documentation, and workflows that require minimal configuration and support parallel engineering activities. - Enhance web delivery infrastructure, including preview environments, progressive deployment strategies, production monitoring, and reliable rollback mechanisms.

- Strengthen automated validation processes by implementing browser-based checks and testing solutions that allow engineers and AI coding agents to verify changes before deployment. - Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to investigate web performance issues, improve observability, and resolve technical challenges across application code, development tooling, and delivery systems. - Lead tooling upgrades, technical improvements, and migrations across engineering teams while balancing long-term architectural goals with immediate development needs. - Design, implement, and maintain developer platform improvements throughout their lifecycle, from initial planning and technical design to rollout, adoption, and ongoing support. - Engage directly with internal users to understand their needs, collect feedback, and continuously improve the tools and systems they rely on. - Promote engineering best practices focused on reliability, security, maintainability, and efficient development workflows. Requirements: - Solid professional experience building and maintaining production web applications, with a strong understanding of React and the modern JavaScript ecosystem. - Strong proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript, including hands-on experience with Node. js for developing tooling, automation, and developer productivity solutions. - Good understanding of web application fundamentals, including browser behavior, module systems, bundling, caching, and frontend performance optimization. - Experience improving developer tooling, build systems, automated testing frameworks, or CI/CD pipelines, with the ability to troubleshoot issues across these technical layers. - Ability to evaluate technical solutions with consideration for reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability, while understanding the trade-offs associated with additional complexity.
