About the role

  • Lead frontend delivery within significant product initiatives, owning major areas of the frontend system end-to-end.
  • Shape technical approaches and user experience decisions early in initiatives, contributing to solution design and direction.
  • Help define initiative scope and make pragmatic technical and UX trade-offs to deliver strong outcomes within fixed delivery windows.
  • Guide the evolution of frontend architecture, applications, and components so they remain understandable and maintainable as the product grows.
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design, helping translate product ideas and designs into clear, workable frontend solutions.
  • Build intuitive, data-rich interfaces where correctness and clarity are critical to customer decisions.
  • Ensure frontend work performs reliably at scale and supports customers in making high-impact decisions.
  • Improve shared frontend systems, patterns, and component libraries when it materially improves clarity, maintainability, consistency, or delivery speed.
  • Raise the engineering bar through mentorship, code reviews, pairing, and thoughtful technical feedback.

Requirements

  • Experience building data-rich interfaces where correctness, clarity, and usability directly influence customer decisions.
  • Strong experience designing and evolving modular, stateful UIs using TypeScript-first frameworks (Vue preferred, React acceptable, Nuxt useful).
  • Experience guiding frontend architectural decisions and establishing patterns that improve system clarity and team velocity.
  • Strong understanding of modern frontend fundamentals, particularly TypeScript, component-driven development, browser behaviour, and scalable styling approaches.
  • Ability to understand complex business rules and represent them clearly and correctly in frontend systems and interfaces.
  • Experience shaping technical approaches within product initiatives, helping bring clarity and direction when requirements are still evolving.
  • Awareness of frontend security best practices when building customer-facing applications, including safe handling of data, authentication flows, and common web vulnerabilities.
  • Comfortable collaborating across disciplines, particularly with Product, Data Science, and Design.
  • Able to quickly build context in unfamiliar systems or technologies and apply sound engineering judgment when adopting new tools.
  • Bonus: experience with design or UX, or a strong appreciation for usability, accessibility, and visual clarity in complex interfaces.
