Tech Lead - Full Stack (Frontend)

We want a full-stack engineer whose main strength is frontend architecture. You will own Anaira's UI layer: modular, real-time, AI-augmented interfaces for insurance workflows. You must also be able to build and own the backend services behind those interfaces.

The candidate will have responsibilities across the following functions:

Frontend architecture:

• Define and drive the frontend architecture, including microfrontends (Module Federation or Single-SPA), widget-based embeddable components, and design systems.
• Build real-time, event-driven UIs using WebSockets or SSE, plus data-heavy dashboards and workflow screens.
• Build AI-native UX: copilots, conversational interfaces, LLM-driven dynamic forms, contextual help, and generative dashboards.
• Own performance (Core Web Vitals), accessibility (WCAG), and frontend testing (Jest, Cypress, Playwright).

Backend:

• Build and own APIs and services using Node.js/NestJS, Java/Spring Boot, or Python.
• Design REST or GraphQL APIs, backend-for-frontend (BFF) layers, and real-time event pipelines.
• Model data in SQL and NoSQL stores. Handle schema changes safely.
• Integrate LLM APIs and AI services on the server side.

Ownership (Tech Lead level):

• Set frontend and full-stack standards, review designs, and mentor engineers.
• Work with product, design, and AI teams to turn complex insurance workflows into intuitive systems.

Requirements:

• 6-11 years of engineering experience, with frontend architecture ownership.
• Expert-level React and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with microfrontends or large-scale modular frontend systems.
• State management (Redux, Zustand, or Recoil), design systems, and REST or GraphQL.
• Production backend experience in Node.js, Java, or Python, including APIs, databases, and services.
• Real-time systems experience (WebSockets or SSE).
• Building AI-augmented interfaces such as chat or copilots, and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Claude, etc.).
• Event-driven backends, for example with Kafka.

Nice to have:

• WebAssembly, or low-code/no-code UI builders.
• Insurance or fintech workflows such as claims, underwriting, or policy.
• Engineers who think in systems, not screens, and can take a feature from UI to database.
• A 0-to-1 ownership mindset, balancing speed with architecture quality.
