We are looking for a heavy-hitting Senior Frontend Engineer (8–10 years experience) to anchor our client-facing product delivery in Melbourne. You will be responsible for crafting slick, responsive, and bulletproof user interfaces (using React/Typescript or Vue) that connect seamlessly with advanced backend AI systems and serverless cloud architectures.

The Impact You’ll Make (Key Responsibilities)

Architect Enterprise React Platforms: Lead the frontend system design, component architecture, and implementation of high-scale enterprise applications using React/Vue and TypeScript.
Enforce Strict Type Safety: Establish and maintain robust TypeScript configurations, design patterns, and type definitions across our codebases to minimize runtime errors and accelerate developer velocity.
Bridge the Cloud Layer: Work closely with our backend and platform engineering teams to integrate stateful UI components with real-time streaming APIs, RESTful endpoints, and Event-Driven microservices on GCP.
Uphold the Melbourne Standard: Enforce strict engineering governance—prioritizing web accessibility (WCAG), optimized performance (Core Web Vitals), clean modular design patterns, and comprehensive unit/integration testing frameworks.
Collaborative Delivery: Act as a critical technical authority during sprint planning and refinements, translating complex client business workflows into achievable frontend architecture.
On-the-Ground Presence: Participate in high-alignment local client workshops, architecture reviews, and milestone demos in the Melbourne CBD when required.

What You Bring to the Table (Requirements)

The Tenure: 8–10 years of professional frontend software engineering experience, with a proven track record of shipping production-grade applications at scale.
TypeScript & React Mastery: Deep, expert-level fluency in React and strongly-typed architectures using TypeScript (generics, advanced utility types, and strict type checking).
State & Ecosystem Expertise: Command over modern React state management ecosystems (Redux Toolkit, Context API, Zustand, or React Query) and modern routing/bundling tooling (Vite, Webpack).
Performance-First DNA: A deep obsession with frontend performance optimization, code-splitting, lazy loading, client-side caching strategies, and browser security mechanisms.
The Consulting Polish: Exceptional English communication skills. You can explain the technical trade-offs of structural architectural decisions to an enterprise client CTO as clearly as you can to a junior developer.

The Market Advantage (Preferred Qualifications)

GCP Infrastructure Empathy: Direct experience deploying frontend builds to cloud environments (GCP Cloud Storage, CDN setup, Cloud Run) or utilizing serverless architectures.
Local Sector Familiarity: Previous experience architecting frontends within highly regulated Australian sectors (e.g., Banking, Digital Lending, Energy, or Telecommunications).
AI Tooling Adoption: Comfort using modern AI code-acceleration tools (e.g., Gemini Code Assist, Cursor) to maximize your daily prototyping and test-suite building velocity.

The Aviato Edge (Why Partner With Us?)

Ex-Google Pedigree: Work side-by-side with engineers and founders who built their careers at Google, operating within a zero-politics, high-IQ environment.
True Hybrid Autonomy: We trust you to \"make good choices\" regarding your workspace—collaborate seamlessly from your home in Victoria, checking in on-site with clients in Melbourne when milestones demand.

The \"Hard No\" List (Don't apply if...)

You are a JavaScript developer who treats TypeScript as an afterthought by sprinkling any throughout the codebase.
You prefer isolated, ticket-pulling tasks over actively contributing to structural design choices and mentoring junior delivery pairs.
You view responsiveness, frontend security, or cross-browser compatibility as \"the QA team's problem.\"
