Job Description:

The Web Platform team builds the shared foundations that enable Scribd’s product teams to ship high-quality web experiences efficiently. We focus on scalable frontend architecture, shared libraries and tooling, and durable patterns that improve velocity, reliability, and maintainability across our web ecosystem. A major focus for the team is Web Modernization: migrating legacy SPAs to a Next.js-powered Microfrontend architecture, enabling faster iteration, safer scaling, and long-term confidence in how Scribd’s web product evolves.

Job Responsibility:

Help drive Scribd’s Web Modernization program and build the frontend foundations for our next generation of web product experiences
Lead major modernization workstreams — migrating complex legacy web applications into a modern Microfrontend ecosystem, creating repeatable migration patterns and shared foundations other teams can build on — while ensuring performance, developer experience, and user impact stay high throughout the transition
Ship production-critical frontend code, define patterns and boundaries that other teams build on, and partner cross-functionally to make architectural change practical and durable

Requirements:

6+ years of professional frontend software engineering experience
Deep experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React
Hands-on experience with Next.js or similar modern web frameworks
Experience working with or migrating large, complex, or legacy frontend codebases
Familiarity with Microfrontend architectures, monorepos, or shared frontend platforms
Strong understanding of web performance, bundling, and optimization techniques
Experience collaborating with backend and platform teams to define clean integration patterns
Comfort operating in environments with high traffic, high visibility, and real user impact

Nice to have:

Familiarity integrating modern frontends with Rails-backed systems is a plus
You’ve helped modernize frontend systems in production, not just greenfield projects
You think about frontend architecture as a product for other engineers, not just a delivery mechanism
You consider performance, accessibility, SEO, quality, and observability as first-class concerns
You invest in testing and quality practices that make large-scale migrations safe and repeatable
You enjoy untangling complexity and leaving systems better than you found them
You care deeply about how technical decisions affect both developers and end users
