GHR Custom Intranet Developer (React) - Full Stack (AVP)
Corporate Functions Technology
Reports to: Managing Director, Corporate Functions Technology
Role Overview
The GHR Custom Intranet Developer (React) - Full Stack (AVP) will design, build, and operate a modern, global employee intranet experience using custom React-based development. This role is hands-on and end-to-end: owning front-end architecture, integrating enterprise APIs and systems, enabling personalization and role-based experiences, and ensuring production readiness (security, performance, resiliency, and supportability) across a global workforce.
The ideal candidate has delivered enterprise intranet portals or employee experience platforms at scale, understands modern web engineering practices, and can integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 (Teams/SharePoint/Viva) and enterprise identity patterns.
Key Responsibilities
Intranet Architecture & End-to-End Delivery (React Full Stack)
Architect and build a custom intranet web application using React and modern web frameworks (TypeScript, component patterns, state management, testing).
Own solution design from discovery through production: information architecture, UI composition, service integration, deployment, operational readiness, and lifecycle management.
Develop reusable UI components, design patterns, and shared libraries to accelerate delivery and ensure consistency.
Partner with UX/UI and content stakeholders to translate employee journeys into intuitive, accessible experiences.
Personalization, Search, and Employee Experience
Implement employee personalization using identity and profile signals (role, location, function, entitlements) and content targeting rules.
Design role-based dashboards, curated navigation, targeted news/content, and "recommended for you" experiences that reduce noise and increase relevance.
Build and enhance search experiences (content, people, tools) with relevance tuning and performance optimization.
Enterprise Integrations & APIs
Build and integrate backend services and APIs (REST/GraphQL as appropriate) to connect the intranet to enterprise platforms (HR systems, service management, knowledge bases, directories, tools).
Implement secure API integration patterns including OAuth/OIDC, token handling, service-to-service auth where applicable, and resilient request patterns (retries, circuit breakers, caching).
Develop integration adapters/middleware as needed to normalize data from multiple sources into intranet-friendly experiences.
Microsoft 365 / SharePoint / Teams Integration
Integrate intranet experiences with Microsoft 365 where appropriate (Teams surface area, SharePoint content/services, and employee experience entry points).
Build custom components and extensions using modern Microsoft 365 extensibility patterns when needed (e.g., SPFx-based components, dashboards, or cards).
Ensure solutions align to tenant governance and enterprise permission models.
Performance, Quality, and Accessibility
Build for performance at enterprise scale: responsive UI, optimized bundles, caching strategies, CDN usage, and strong Core Web Vitals.
Ensure accessibility and inclusive design (WCAG-aligned patterns), localization support, and mobile-friendly experiences.
Establish automated test coverage (unit/integration/e2e), code reviews, and engineering standards.
DevOps / ALM and Operational Readiness
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, environment strategy (Dev/Test/Prod), and release governance aligned to enterprise standards.
Implement observability (logging, monitoring, tracing) and support readiness (runbooks, alerting, incident response patterns).
Partner with operations and security teams to ensure the intranet is stable, resilient, and supportable globally.
Security, Compliance, and Data Protection
Embed security-by-design: least privilege access, secure coding practices, data classification handling, and audit-ready logging.
Ensure the solution meets enterprise expectations for privacy, compliance, and resiliency for employee-facing platforms.
Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement
Work closely with HR, communications, and business stakeholders to shape a practical roadmap and deliver prioritized outcomes.
Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences, including status, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions required.
Mentor other developers and contribute to reusable patterns and platform standards.
Experience & Competencies
6-12 years of software engineering experience with strong hands-on full stack delivery in large enterprise environments.
Deep expertise in React TypeScript and modern front-end architecture (component design, performance, testing, CI/CD).
Demonstrated experience delivering enterprise intranet, portal, or employee experience solutions end-to-end.
Strong experience designing and consuming APIs; building integration services and working with authentication/authorization patterns.
Proven ability to build scalable, secure, production-grade systems with operational maturity (observability, resilience, support).
Excellent communication skills and ability to drive outcomes in a global, matrixed organization.
Preferred / Nice to Have
Experience with SharePoint Online / Microsoft 365 extensibility (SPFx) and integrating experiences into Teams/Viva.
Experience with Microsoft Graph and identity-driven personalization patterns.
Experience with headless CMS architectures; Adobe AEM experience is a plus (headless/SPA approaches).
Experience implementing enterprise search, content targeting, and personalization engines at scale.
Experience in GHR / HR domain and employee lifecycle journeys is a plus.
Salary Range:
$110,000 - $177,500 Annual
