As part of our team, you'll contribute your expertise in intricate systems, deciphering code, and anticipating software behaviors to ensure Applied remains the leader in the semiconductor and display sectors.We are seeking an experienced Senior Frontend Architect to join our dynamic team. As a Senior Frontend Architect, you will own the architecture of large-scale, data-dense frontend systems, designing solutions that align with our organization's strategic goals. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, algorithm developers, engineers, and product managers, to deliver a frontend architecture that scales across teams and meets the needs of our clients.
What's in it for you?
As a Senior Frontend Architect, you will have:
The responsibility to design a platform used across teams, drive its adoption, and mentor engineers along the way.
Be a key player in the architecture of one of the most data-dense, real-time systems we build, employing state-of-the-art technology.
Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
Work on cutting-edge rendering, real-time, and visualization technologies.
A collaborative and inclusive work environment where your architectural decisions are valued.
Our Group - Responsible for the two leading Sophisticated Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM).
Build and maintain the costumer software that autonomously controls and operates a state-of-the-art, nano-resolution Scanning Electron Microscope system.
Composed of strong individuals, empowered, service-minded SW engineers.
Driven from business value, enable & partner with product teams.
Outcomes (what success looks like)
The frontend evolves faster without accumulating architectural debt or quality regressions, including from AI-generated changes.
Architectural decisions on state management, rendering, and module boundaries are explicit, consistently applied, and reduce cross-team thrash.
Data-dense, continuously updating UIs stay performant and reliable as usage and data volume scale.
A shared platform or framework measurably increases velocity and consistency for teams you do not manage.
Key responsibilities
Own end-to-end frontend architecture for one or more SEM domains - client applications, shared UI infrastructure, rendering, and real-time data flows.
Design and evolve large, complex frontend architectures built on React, TypeScript, and Redux, with deep expertise in rendering behavior and performance characteristics at scale.
Design a platform or framework from scratch and drive its adoption across teams you do not manage.
Architect and operate a micro-frontend ecosystem using Module Federation - defining boundaries, managing shared dependencies and versioning, and enabling independent deployment.
Own application state management strategy at scale across a distributed frontend.
Design and optimize data-dense, continuously updating UIs - canvas/WebGL or image rendering, large grids, and visualization - backed by real-time transports (WebSocket/SSE).
Lead frontend performance engineering: profiling, measurement, performance budgets, and concrete optimization work.
Make architectural decisions that account for real constraints - domain model, team topology, release cadence, and legacy footprint.
Establish architectural governance and guardrails (design reviews, standards, reference patterns) that keep frontend quality consistent, including for AI-assisted development.
Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues as they arise.
Mentor engineers and architects; grow a frontend architecture community of practice.
What you will need
10+ years in software engineering, with 5+ years in architecture or technical leadership roles for web clients.
Deep expertise with React, TypeScript, Redux, including rendering behavior and performance characteristics at scale.
Proven experience designing large, complex frontend architectures.
Mastery of application state management at scale.
Hands-on production experience with micro-frontends and Module Federation: boundaries, shared dependencies, versioning, independent deployment.
A track record of designing a platform or framework from scratch and driving its adoption across teams you did not manage.
Experience with data-dense, continuously updating UIs - canvas/WebGL or image rendering, large grids, visualization - and with real-time transports (WebSocket/SSE) in the browser.
Strong frontend performance engineering: profiling, measurement, budgets, and concrete optimization.
The ability to design around real constraints - domain model, team topology, release cadence, legacy footprint.
