Web Chapter Lead

RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategy & Leadership

·      Define and own the web chapter's multi-year technology roadmap, aligning with business goals across all digital touchpoints.

·      Champion a platform-thinking mindset — treating websites and the Agent Portal as products, not projects.

·      Partner with product, design, marketing, and IT leadership to translate business needs into scalable web solutions.

·      Build and nurture a high-performing chapter of web engineers, setting standards for craft, velocity, and quality.

AI-Augmented Web Development

·      Lead the adoption of AI-assisted development practices (Claude) to accelerate delivery across the Angular/.NET portfolio.

·      Evaluate and integrate AI tools for content generation, personalisation, intelligent search, and automated testing.

·      Establish guardrails and best practices for responsible AI usage within the web development lifecycle.

·      Explore AI-generated component scaffolding and automated migration tooling to modernise legacy Angular modules at scale.

·      Share learnings, establish team-wide AI best practices, and define guardrails for responsible AI use in development.

Monorepo & Platform Architecture

·      Architect and govern a scalable monorepo strategy (Nx recommended) to unify the 50+ Angular site portfolio under a shared codebase, component library, and CI/CD pipeline.

·      Define standards for shared Angular libraries, design tokens, CMS integrations, and deployment pipelines.

·      Own Angular workspace governance — enforcing module boundaries, Nx project graph discipline, and shared vs. app-specific library management.

·      Drive consistency without sacrificing the autonomy of individual site teams.

.NET Middleware Ownership

·      Define standards and patterns for the .NET middleware layer that powers API aggregation, authentication, content delivery, and backend-for-frontend (BFF) logic.

·      Partner with backend teams to ensure the middleware is performant, secure, and easy to extend as new sites onboard.

·      Champion API contract discipline between Angular frontends and .NET services.

Agent Portal Ownership

·      Own the technical strategy and evolution of the Agent Portal — a high-traffic, mission-critical Angular application for internal and external agents.

·      Collaborate with stakeholders to define portal capabilities, integrations, and self-service features.

·      Ensure the portal meets enterprise-grade standards for performance, security, and accessibility.

Engineering Excellence

·      Set and enforce engineering standards: code quality, unit/e2e testing (Jest, Cypress/Playwright), observability, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and performance (Core Web Vitals).

·      Drive Angular best practices at scale: standalone components, signals-based state management, lazy loading, and micro-frontend patterns via Module Federation where applicable.

·      Lead shift-left culture on security, performance, and SEO from day one of development.

·      Produce architecture decision records (ADRs) to document significant technical decisions, rationale, and alternatives considered.

·      Identify technical debt proactively and advocate for its resolution alongside feature delivery, articulating the business risk of deferral.

·      Mentor senior, mid-level, and junior engineers on architectural principles, design patterns, and engineering best practices.

Requirement

·      8+ years of experience in web engineering, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership or chapter/guild lead role.

·      Expert-level Angular experience in an enterprise, multi-site context — including workspace architecture, shared libraries, and upgrade management.

·      Hands-on experience with .NET middleware (ASP.NET Core) in a BFF or API gateway pattern serving Angular frontends.

·      Proven experience managing a large-scale multi-site portfolio (30+ sites).

·      Strong grasp of monorepo tooling — Nx strongly preferred — including project graph, affected builds, and code generation.

·      Practical experience integrating AI tools (Claude) into engineering workflows and delivery pipelines.

·      Experience leading or architecting a portal or platform product (agent, customer, or employee-facing).

·      Track record of driving cross-functional alignment between engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
