Focus: 90% React Architecture / 10% Backend Integration (Good-to-Have)

The Mission

We are seeking a visionary Principal Engineer to lead our technical evolution in Bengaluru. You are an architect who excels in the "Bootstrap" philosophy-building robust, scalable systems from the ground up with resourcefulness and precision. You aren't just building features; you are architecting the React.js foundation for industrial-scale Digital Twins.

Architectural Impact

• React Sovereignty: Lead the high-level architectural design of complex, data-heavy web applications using React.js, TypeScript, and Micro-frontend patterns.
• The Blueprint: Design modular UI kits and design systems (extending Bootstrap/Tailwind) that serve as a "force multiplier" for multiple global teams.
• Performance Engineering: Set the gold standard for React performance, state management, and sophisticated rendering strategies.
• System Synergy (Good to Have): Act as the bridge between UI and API. While not mandatory, experience with Kotlin/Java is a major plus, allowing you to influence backend data contracts.

Leadership & Global Collaboration

• Strategic Mentorship: Elevate the React.js chapter in India. You prioritize team growth and "Clean Code" standards across the entire organization.
• European Partnership: Collaborate daily with stakeholders in Europe to align technical roadmaps and navigate cross-cultural communication.

The Profile

• 6-10 Years of Engineering: A proven track record of shipping production-grade software at scale.
• Expert-Level Frontend: 10+ years of experience in professional frontend development with deep expertise in the modern JavaScript ecosystem, including React and TypeScript.
• React & AI Curiosity: Mastery of React.js and TypeScript, with a deep interest or experience in building AI/LLM-integrated interfaces.
• The Full Stack Edge (Bonus): Professional experience in Kotlin or Java (Spring Boot) is highly valued.
