About the role
As a Principal Consultant, you will make an impact by owning the architecture of our customer self-service web platform that serves millions of customers. You will be a valued member of the Customer Self-Service Platform team and work collaboratively with product, business and support leaders, engineering teams, and clients.
In this role, you will
• Own the domain and architecture. Define the business flows in close partnership with the business and consult on React and Next.js architecture, state-management patterns and shared component libraries used by multiple teams.
• Help teams ship faster. Lead the microfrontend and Web Components strategy so teams can deploy independently and reduce feature cycle time.
• Build AI interfaces. Design and deliver production AI chat and voice experiences using CopilotKit, the AG-UI protocol, A2UI and generative UI patterns, working across both the UI and agent layers.
• Own performance and reliability. Run performance work such as code splitting, lazy loading, caching and bundle reduction, and own uptime for customer-facing applications.
• Turn business needs into plans. Partner with product, business and support leaders to turn ambiguous requests into architectures, API contracts and delivery milestones.
