Frontend Architect – dLocal Join us as a Frontend Architect to help the biggest companies manage payments in over 40 emerging markets. Why dLocal? dLocal enables global brands to collect payments in 40 countries across emerging markets, acting both as a payments processor and merchant of record. We provide a flexible, remote‑first dynamic culture with travel, health and learning benefits, and a global team of over 1,000 teammates from more than 30 nationalities. Responsibilities Define and steward the frontend architecture (frameworks, component patterns, state management, routing, SSR/SSG/ISR) across teams. Establish and evolve an organization‑wide frontend baseline (Node LTS policy, package manager posture, canonical scripts, lint/format, TypeScript strictness, testing posture, CI templates) with clear adoption guides. Design frontend–backend integration (API contracts, versioning, error handling, caching, BFF when appropriate) to ensure reliable and observable interfaces. Lead web performance strategy (code splitting, asset budgets, image/fonts strategy, hydration, caching/CDN), setting targets and enabling measurement. Ensure accessibility (WCAG), i18n/l10n, and client‑side security (CSP, auth flows, token handling, XSS/CSRF mitigations) are built into the architecture. Drive developer experience: tooling, monorepos and/or micro‑frontends when justified, starter templates, documentation, and examples. Mentor technical leads/referents, participate in technical reviews, and author ADRs/RFCs that align architecture with business goals. Collaborate with UX, Product, and Backend to align technical decisions with user and business outcomes.

Demonstrated web performance optimization and observability experience (Core Web Vitals, profiling, RUM). Solid understanding of frontend security best practices and modern authentication/authorization patterns in web apps. Experience integrating CI/CD for frontend projects and working with design systems/component libraries.
