The role sets the standards other engineers build against, makes the framework and library decisions a codebase lives with for years, and stays close enough to the code to prove those decisions work. Working alongside back-end, data, and AI engineers, the Senior Angular Architect ensures the user-facing layer of a solution is coherent, accessible, performant, and maintainable. As a senior technical leader, the architect mentors engineers and raises the quality of front-end practice across CloudAI.\nKey Responsibilities\nOwn the front-end architecture of CloudAI products and customer solutions.\nDefine application structure, module boundaries, state management, routing, and component hierarchy for Angular applications intended to last.\nSelect and govern the front-end stack, including libraries, component systems, build tooling, and testing frameworks, and record the reasoning behind each decision.\nDesign the integration layer between the application and back-end services, including GraphQL and REST contracts, caching, error handling, and authentication flows.\nEstablish performance, accessibility, and security standards, and hold the codebase to them through review and automated checks.\nBuild the hard parts and set the pattern for the rest.\nImplement the foundational and highest-risk portions of the application directly, including shared component libraries, design system implementation, and complex interaction patterns.\nLead framework migrations and version upgrades, including legacy AngularJS or older Angular versions, standalone components, and signal-based state.\nDiagnose and resolve rendering, performance, and bundle size problems through measurement rather than assumption.\nNavigate changing requirements and shifting priorities without compromising the integrity of the architecture.\nRaise the capability of the engineering team.\nReview code with an emphasis on teaching, and mentor engineers on Angular patterns, TypeScript, testing, and accessibility.\nPartner with design to translate design systems into implemented, reusable, documented components.\nDefine the front-end definition of done, including coverage expectations, and partner with test automation on the strategy that enforces it.\nContribute to solution shaping and delivery.\nEstimate front-end effort, identify technical risk, and contribute to solution approach during presales and project planning.\nEngage customers directly on technical decisions, constraints, and trade-offs.\nSystematize standards, templates, and starter tooling as new needs surface from engagement work.\nCompetencies & Skills\nTechnical and interpersonal competencies required to succeed in this role, spanning both hard skills (tools, technologies, methodologies) and soft skills (communication, problem-solving, stakeholder management).\nCore Competencies\nCustomer and Business Focus: Starts with the customer, works efficiently, and delivers lasting value through continuous improvement\nOwnership and Delivery: Takes ownership, honors commitments, moves with urgency, and delivers their best work\nCuriosity and Growth: Goes deep to understand the 'why,' stays open to new ideas, and challenges the status quo\nCandor and Collaboration: Leads with transparency, welcomes thoughtful disagreement, and chooses the path based on the merit of ideas\nEmpathy and Respect: Listens to understand, respects others' perspectives, and acts as a team player\nTechnical Competencies\nAngular at depth, including modern versions, standalone components, signals, RxJS, dependency injection, change detection, and the Angular CLI and build pipeline.\nTypeScript, HTML, and CSS at an expert level, including responsive layout, design token systems, and cross-browser behavior.\nFront-end architecture patterns, including monorepo tooling such as Nx, micro-frontends, state management such as NgRx, and shared component library design.\nReact and Next.js preferred, at a depth sufficient to evaluate framework selection, support solutions built outside Angular, and reason about server-side rendering, static generation, and hydration against the trade-offs of a client-rendered application.\nAPI integration, including GraphQL clients, REST, and authentication and authorization flows such as OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and Cognito.\nTesting and quality, including Jest, Jasmine, or Karma for unit testing, Cypress or Playwright for end-to-end testing, and accessibility validation against WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508.\nCI/CD and cloud deployment of front-end applications, including AWS or Azure hosting, CDN configuration, and build optimization.\nDelivery Competencies\nOwnership: Remains with a problem until it is resolved rather than escalating to transfer it.\nIndependent judgment: Operates without supervision and determines what the work requires.\nCuriosity: Seeks to understand the customer's business, the technical solution, and the people involved rather than accepting information as given.\nRelationship building: Establishes trust with customers and delivery teams deliberately.\nAdaptability: Adjusts approach to the customer, project, and team rather than applying a fixed method.\nCraft: Holds the quality of the work above the convenience of finishing it, and knows the difference between the two.\nEducation & Experience Requirements\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nTen (10) to twelve (12) years of professional software engineering experience, the majority focused on front-end development.\nDemonstrated experience owning the front-end architecture of a production application through full lifecycle to production.\nDemonstrated experience leading an Angular version migration or a legacy front-end modernization.\nExperience designing and maintaining a shared component library or design system implementation used by multiple teams or applications.\nExperience mentoring engineers and leading code review as the technical authority for a codebase.\nExperience building production applications in React and Next.js preferred, in addition to Angular depth.\nExperience delivering applications that meet WCAG 2.1 AA or Section 508 accessibility requirements preferred.\nExperience with public sector, SLED (state, local, and education), or higher-education clients preferred, not required.\nMust physically reside in the United States and be authorized to work in the United States. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required.\nCertifications\nNo certification required for this role.\nCloud certification (AWS or Azure) preferred.\nRegards,\nManoj Goud\nDerex Technologies INC\nContact :973-834-5005 Ext 206\n All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7922,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Information Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T01:20:44Z"}],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.77,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":8,"reasons":["conf:13","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/derextechnologies-senior-angular-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/derextechnologies-senior-angular-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T23:17:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":858,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4142,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
