Frontend Leadership React TypeScript Design Systems

About the Role

SecPod builds security products used by teams to understand and manage complex security environments. As UI Lead, you ll shape the frontend experience across the company, from product interfaces and dashboards to the shared design system that brings consistency to every application.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You ll work closely with product and engineering teams, influence architectural decisions, guide implementation standards, and step into product work when your expertise can make a meaningful difference.

You ll operate at both the product and platform levels, helping teams ship better interfaces while building a strong, scalable foundation for frontend development across SecPod.

What You ll Own

Frontend Technical Direction

Set and evolve frontend standards across product teams, including architecture, maintainability, performance, accessibility, and engineering quality.

Shared Design System

Own @secpod/ui, including its component strategy, design tokens, theming, APIs, documentation, and long-term evolution.

Product UI Quality

Partner closely with product teams to ensure interfaces are intuitive, consistent, responsive, accessible, and built to a high engineering standard.

Engineering Standards

Define and strengthen the practices that keep frontend development reliable, including code review, testing, CI quality, performance, and accessibility.

Accessibility

Make accessibility a core part of frontend engineering. Establish practical standards around WCAG, keyboard interaction, semantic HTML, ARIA, and assistive technology support.

Cross-Team Leadership

Work across teams to drive frontend consistency, adoption of shared standards, and strong engineering practices without relying solely on direct authority.

Mentorship

Coach and mentor frontend engineers, provide thoughtful technical feedback, and help establish a culture of strong engineering judgment and continuous improvement.
