About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Shape how our team works, stay sharp on what's happening in the industry, and look for ways to make our tools and processes a little better.
Coach your direct reports on goal setting and growth, and use empathy and encouragement to guide them through the tougher conversations.
Build a team culture where engineers and designers genuinely enjoy working together and do better work because of it.
Hold the team to Multiplayer's quality standards and ensure that this quality is upheld across multiple workstreams.
Write clean, maintainable code across HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React, with enough depth to spot quality issues, debug effectively, and set the standard for the team.
Evaluate and deploy AI assisted development tools like Cursor, Lovable, Claude Code, and v0, and use good judgment about when they speed things up and when a human really needs to take a closer look.
Lead frontend architecture decisions on client projects, including how components are structured, how state is managed, and what development and QA standards the team can count on.
Build rapid prototypes and coded explorations using whatever tool fits best, including hardware and software integrations for physical computing prototypes.
Champion our design systems at the token and variable level, work fluently in Figma, and help maintain component libraries that keep delivery consistent across projects.
Partner closely with our sister development company, turning design and product intent into clear technical direction while keeping everyone aligned on standards and timelines.
Serve as the technical thought partner to designers, strategists, and clients, scoping effort, flagging risk early, and speaking up with confidence when something needs to change.
Lead project planning across several engagements at once, keeping workstreams, resourcing, risk, and scope changes organized so your team always knows what's next.
Embrace and contribute to our culture of continuous creative improvement, innovation, and excellence — and always look for ways to make a positive impact on the team!
