Senior Software Engineer, Web Platform

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer, Web Platform to help drive Scribd's Web Modernization program and build the frontend foundations for our next generation of web product experiences.

You'll 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. This is a hands-on role with broad influence : you'll 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.

Key Attributes

• Strong ownership mindset, taking responsibility for frontend systems from design through long-term evolution
• Strong systems thinking, with the ability to reason about frontend architecture at scale
• Pragmatic approach to modernization, balancing ideal solutions with incremental, low-risk progress
• Strong collaboration skills and comfort working closely with both product and platform teams.
• Long-term perspective on maintainability, extensibility, and developer experience
