The Opportunity
At P50, you’ll be a technical leader shaping the plugin platform and engineering practices for extensibility at scale. You’ll drive architecture, guide major initiatives, and partner with PM/Design/Platform teams to deliver flexible, enterprise-ready plugin experiences. The problem we’re solving large creative organizations need a way to generate and iterate on brand-safe content inside existing creative workflows (where templates and day-to-day production happen). Without a plugin approach, teams are forced into tool switching, duplicated work, template rewrites, and brittle integrations that don’t scale across hosts or channels. We’re building an extensible plugin foundation that enables in-tool creation , consistent field-role mapping , robust API-driven generation/editing flows , and smooth handoff to GenStudio for downstream governance. This is still frontend-first , but you’ll be expected to operate confidently across boundaries—API design, service integration, and pragmatic full-stack problem solving.
What you’ll do
Lead the architecture of GeoStudio plugin experiences and shared frontend infrastructure (patterns, abstractions, extensibility strategy).
Drive complex, high-impact initiatives end-to-end: from ambiguous problem definition to delivery, rollout strategy, and iteration based on feedback.
Set engineering direction on quality, performance, reliability, accessibility, and maintainability for plugin UI and integration layers.
Define and influence API contracts with backend/platform teams to ensure developer-friendly, scalable integrations.
Establish durable patterns for async workflows (job polling, progress UX, cancellation, retries, partial failures, and user trust).
Mentor and raise the bar : guide senior and junior engineers, run technical reviews, and create a culture of strong ownership and crisp execution.
Collaborate cross-functionally at a high level : align with PM/Design on roadmap, scope trade-offs, and extensible product design.
What you need to succeed
8–12+ years of industry experience with deep frontend expertise and strong architectural ownership.
Expert knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern frontend architecture (component systems, state, performance, testing, build tooling).
Demonstrated success designing and shipping reusable, extensible frontend systems used across teams/products.
Strong experience integrating with REST/GraphQL APIs , handling auth and async workflows, and designing resilient client systems.
Ability to provide technical leadership, navigate ambiguity, and communicate clearly with engineering and product leadership.
Nice to have
Experience building products involving GenAI/LLMs (prompting patterns, model capabilities/limits, evaluation thinking, safety/guardrails).
Experience with enterprise requirements : entitlements, custom models, metering/usage considerations, compliance, and governance handoffs.
Practical full-stack skills (Node.js/microservices) and comfort owning small backend components when it unblocks the team.
Experience building developer-facing SDKs, shared libraries, or platform surfaces.
