This is an opportunity to take the lead in shaping the frontend architecture, defining best practices, and driving innovation in high-performance, scalable, and user-centric web applications.

In this role, you’ll define the frontend architecture and development standards, working closely with UI/UX designers, backend engineers, and product teams to translate complex requirements into scalable, high-performance, and secure web applications. You’ll have the chance to set the strategic direction for frontend development, tackle challenging UI problems, and contribute to the AMI Cloud product family, BMC’s high-performance data management and mainframe modernization solution.

Here is how, through this exciting role, YOU will contribute to BMC's and your own success:

• Drive the adoption of modern frontend frameworks (Angular, React, TypeScript) and UI/UX methodologies.
• Lead the technical vision and mentor frontend engineers, ensuring high coding standards through reviews, automation, and testing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (UI/UX, backend, product) to create a seamless and high-quality user experience.
• Solve complex UI challenges involving real-time data visualization, high-performance rendering, and micro-frontend architecture.
• Ensure code quality through static analysis, automated testing, and CI/CD best practices.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, continuously improving development processes and incorporating new technologies.

To ensure you’re set up for success, you will bring the following skillset & experience:

• 15+ years of frontend development experience, including 5+ years as a tech lead.
• Expertise in Angular and AngularJS (7+ years), with experience in React, TypeScript, and JavaScript.

• Experience with version control systems (Git, Bitbucket) and CI/CD tools.
• Security-focused mindset and an understanding of distributed systems.
• Proven experience in leading distributed teams across multiple time zones.
• Strong Agile experience, including tools like Jira and Confluence.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical thinking, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a strong sense of ownership.
