Staff React Engineer | Immediate Start | FTC | ASAP to May ****
Our client, a leading technology business, is modernising a legacy CRM onto a new React front-end, with AI capability being built directly into the platform.
As Staff Engineer, you'll own the front-end architecture that gets it there.
The prospect
You'll own how the new React app coexists with the legacy CRM during transition, things like iframe embedding, shared auth/session behaviour, and migration sequencing, while setting the technical direction multiple squads will follow, as AI-driven features get built into the product itself.
What you'll do
Own front-end architecture for a major CRM modernisation effort, including AI-powered product capability
Set component architecture, state management and testing standards across squads
Make and own high-impact technical decisions on complex, multi-squad initiatives
Define API contracts and integration standards with backend engineers (REST/GraphQL)
Tackle the most ambiguous front-end problems no one else has untangled yet
Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across teams
What we're looking for




Over 10 years in front-end development, React and TypeScript experience at scale
Proven experience leading a front-end migration or rewrite that coexisted with a legacy system
Track record of driving architectural decisions across teams, including through disagreement
Strong hands-on use of agentic AI tools to boost developer productivity (coding assistants, AI-driven testing/debugging workflows)
Comfortable shaping backend/API contracts even if front-end is your core specialism
Strong grasp of SOLID principles, accessibility (WCAG) and performance at scale
Why this role
Genuine Staff-level scope, architecture ownership, not just execution
Ground-floor involvement in embedding AI into a live production platform
Flexible working, home or Sydney/Brisbane offices, your call
Location & contract
Ideally based in Sydney or Brisbane, but not essential.
Fixed-term contract until 31 May ****.
Candidates must be able to start before 1 September ****, so immediate availability is preferred.
