The Role
Akoya is seeking a Principal Software Engineer (Frontend) to lead the next generation of our user experiences and frontend architecture. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who brings a high bar for design quality, a deep mastery of modern JavaScript and React, and the ability to drive technical strategy across complex products. You combine impeccable attention to detail with strong communication skills and a passion for building elegant, scalable, and intuitive user interfaces that directly empower our customers.
As a Principal Engineer, you will:
- Lead the design and implementation of Akoya's core frontend architecture, setting standards for code quality, performance, accessibility, and maintainability.
- Drive the evolution and modernization of existing frontend systems, ensuring legacy components remain reliable while guiding their transition toward more scalable, performant, and maintainable patterns.
- Write clean, well-structured, and well-documented code in React, TypeScript/JavaScript, and modern frontend tooling.
- Partner closely with product managers, designers, and backend teams to define requirements, shape features, and deliver polished, high-quality user experiences.
- Debug and resolve complex production issues across the frontend stack, delivering reliable and resilient interfaces.
- Elevate the engineering organization via mentorship, architectural guidance, and code review, enabling teams to deliver at a high level.
- Champion frontend best practices-including performance optimization, component system design, and UX consistency-across the organization.
Not all applicants will have skills that match a job description exactly. Akoya values diverse experiences in other industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply. While having "desired" qualifications make for a strong candidate, we encourage applicants with alternative experiences to also apply. If your career is just starting or has not followed a traditional path, do not let that stop you from considering Akoya. We are always looking for people who will bring something new to the table
Required Experience/skills
- 10+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, building and maintaining production web applications at scale.
- Expert-level proficiency in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, including state management patterns, hooks, component architecture, and performance tuning.
- Demonstrated experience designing large-scale, modular frontend systems (design systems, component libraries, multi-app architectures, microfrontends, etc.).
- Strong understanding of HTML5, CSS3, responsive design, accessibility standards (WCAG), and web performance best practices.
- Proven ability to lead technical projects autonomously, drive architectural decisions, and communicate complex concepts clearly.
- A strong sense of customer empathy and a track record of delivering intuitive, high-quality user experiences.
- Experience collaborating deeply with product, design, and backend teams to define and deliver cross-functional initiatives.
- Experience with frontend build and performance tooling (Webpack, Vite, Babel).
- Background working with design systems or UI component libraries (e.g., Material UI), and partnering with design teams on UX strategy.
- Experience with testing frameworks (Jest, Testing Library, Cypress, Playwright).
- Familiarity with cloud-based environments, CI/CD pipelines, and production observability tools.
- Understanding of backend API design and integration patterns (REST, GraphQL).
- Experience operating within AWS or similar cloud environments.
- Experience with state management in React, such as React Context, custom hooks, or Redux/Redux Toolkit.
