Frontend Architect

We are looking for a Frontend Architect to lead the evolution of Armis's engineering foundations — across both frontend and backend domains.

This role blends technical leadership, team management, and strategic impact. You'll guide a multidisciplinary team responsible for developer experience, infrastructure, and governance across the R&D organization.

The team's mission is to increase developer velocity, ensure product quality, and strengthen engineering consistency across all Armis products — from web applications to backend microservices.

While the team spans both domains, we are looking for someone that has a stronger orientation toward frontend and web infrastructure — UI frameworks, build systems, shared component libraries, and developer tooling.

Technical & Strategic Leadership

• Define and own the vision and roadmap for Armis's development platform, including web, backend, and AI-enablement initiatives.
  Partner with engineering leadership, architects, and product teams to remove friction and increase velocity across R&D.
• Establish and govern engineering standards, testing practices, and secure development workflows.
• Lead the evolution of our shared frameworks, build systems, and developer tools for scalability and security.

Frontend & Web Infrastructure

• Own and evolve the UI development ecosystem, including build systems, testing frameworks, and local development experiences.
• Govern our shared UI kit and design system, ensuring consistency, accessibility, and performance across all products.
  Partner with UX and product engineers to create a cohesive, maintainable frontend foundation.

Backend & Microservices Infrastructure

• Oversee and guide the microservices development framework, templates, and communication patterns.
  Optimize monorepo builds, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime standards for efficiency, reliability, and observability.
  
  Implement infrastructure-level protections that improve product quality and prevent regressions.

AI Enablement Across R&D

• Champion and integrate AI-assisted development tools (code generation, code review, testing, documentation).
• Define patterns and best practices for AI-driven workflows, enabling teams to move faster with higher quality.
• Partner with data, DevOps, and product teams to explore how AI can optimize engineering processes and infrastructure.

People & Collaboration

Lead, mentor, and grow a cross-functional team of backend, frontend, and platform engineers.

Foster a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement.

- Collaborate closely with Product, UX, Security, and DevOps leaders to align strategy and execution.

• 8+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or team lead role.
• Strong technical foundation in frontend architecture and tooling (React, TypeScript, build pipelines, testing).
• Solid understanding of backend infrastructure, CI/CD, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Experience leading platform or developer productivity teams in large-scale environments.
• Proven ability to establish engineering standards, governance, and automation across R&D.
• Curiosity and practical understanding of AI-assisted development workflows and related tooling (e.g., code completion, documentation, or CI automation).
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset that bridges frontend, backend, and AI initiatives.
