The Opportunity

At Iru, we’re evolving our product suite into a true multi-product platform, and Web Foundations is at the heart of that transformation. As a Staff Software Engineer on this team, you’ll own the front-end architecture and shared systems that power the entire platform experience. This is a high-impact role where the technical decisions you make will directly shape how our products scale, integrate, and deliver value to customers.

You’ll go far beyond component libraries — driving the architecture for cross-product navigation and routing, global notifications, activity feeds, asset management, developer experience, and reusable front-end infrastructure. You’ll partner closely with product, design, and other engineering teams to set the standards for scalability, performance, accessibility, and consistency across Iru's platform.

Experience across the stack is a plus, but deep expertise in front-end architecture is required . This role is about leverage : building foundations once, and enabling every product team to move faster with greater quality. As a technical leader, you’ll guide strategy, mentor engineers, and be a key voice in defining the next generation of Iru's web platform.

How You’ll Make a Difference Day to Day :

• Architect the platform : Define and evolve the front-end architecture that powers Iru's multi-product platform, ensuring scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability.
• Build shared systems : Lead development of global capabilities like notifications, activity feeds, navigation / routing, and asset management that serve every product team.
• Evolve the design system : Drive the next generation of Iru's design system and component libraries, ensuring accessibility, consistency, and adoption across all products.
• Champion developer experience : Improve tooling, workflows, and frameworks to make front-end development at Iru faster, more reliable, and more enjoyable for all engineers.
• Set engineering standards : Establish patterns, frameworks, and best practices for state management, code quality, performance optimization, and accessibility.
• Mentor and influence : Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineers across teams, raising the bar for front-end development organization-wide.
• Collaborate cross-functionally : Partner with design, product, and backend engineering to align on shared goals, improve integration, and accelerate delivery.
• Deliver leverage : Build foundations once and enable product teams to move faster, reduce duplication, and ship with greater quality.
