• *About the Role**

BigFM is building a media super\-app bringing together video, audio, radio, micro\-drama, news and commerce on a single platform. We're hiring a Frontend Architect to own the technical architecture and long\-term technical direction for our entire frontend and mobile surface — spanning our React Native consumer app, admin portal, CMS and shared design system.

This is a foundational, individual\-contributor technical leadership role. You will define how a single codebase and design system scales across six content and commerce verticals, setting the technical direction that the wider Frontend Engineering team builds against.

• *Key Responsibilities**

• Define and own the frontend/mobile technical architecture across the React Native app, Admin Portal, CMS and internal tools
• Establish and evolve the shared Design System and component library used across all frontend surfaces
• Set technical standards, code quality bars and architectural guardrails for the Frontend Engineering team
• Make foundational technology decisions — state management, navigation, module boundaries, build/release pipeline — that keep engineers interchangeable across mobile, web and admin surfaces
• Partner closely with the Backend Architect and Platform Engineer to define clean API contracts and integration patterns
• Partner with the Tech Lead to translate architectural direction into a deliverable roadmap
• Conduct architecture and code reviews for high\-impact changes
• Evaluate and introduce new frontend technologies and tools where they meaningfully improve velocity, performance or maintainability
• Own frontend performance, scalability and technical debt strategy as the platform scales beyond Phase 1

• *Required Qualifications**

• 8–10 years of frontend/mobile engineering experience, including at least 2–3 years in a formal architecture or staff/principal engineering capacity
• Deep, hands\-on expertise in React Native at production scale, plus modern React, JavaScript and TypeScript
• Proven experience architecting frontend systems that serve multiple products or surfaces from a shared codebase or design system
• Strong understanding of mobile app performance, state management patterns and cross\-platform architecture trade\-offs
• Experience building or scaling a design system / component library
• Comfortable operating as a high\-impact individual contributor, leading through technical authority and influence
• Excellent communication skills — able to document and evangelize architectural decisions to engineers and non\-technical stakeholders alike

• *Preferred Qualifications**

• Experience in a media, content or commerce super\-app environment
• Prior experience at a high\-growth startup building 0→1 platforms
• Familiarity with backend API design (GraphQL/REST) to enable strong full\-stack architectural conversations
• Experience with CI/CD, build performance optimization and release engineering for mobile apps
