About the Role

We’re looking for a Lead Frontend Developer to head up our front-end team. You’ll be responsible not just for writing high-quality code, but for leading a team of developers, setting technical direction, and driving collaboration across engineering, product, and design. 

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll write production code, mentor others, shape the future of our user experience, establish best practices, and help scale a frontend architecture that supports rapid growth.

You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and backend teams to ship beautiful, intuitive, and high-performance user experiences.

Responsibilities

• Lead frontend architecture decisions and guide the implementation of scalable, maintainable solutions
• Collaborate with designers to turn mockups and prototypes into polished, high-performing features
• Write clean, modern, well-tested TypeScript and React code
• Own our design system and enforce visual and interaction consistency across the app

• Review code, mentor developers, and help grow frontend expertise across the team

• Continuously improve performance, accessibility, and usability

• Partner with product and engineering leads to shape roadmap priorities and execution plans
• Keep up with modern frontend best practices and advocate for the right tools and workflows

• 5+ years of experience in frontend development, with at least 1–2 years in a senior or lead role
• Deep expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and frontend tooling
• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles, responsive design, and accessibility standards
• Experience architecting complex SPAs with performance and scalability in mind
• Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and design-to-code workflows

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to give and receive technical feedback
• A product mindset — you care about the user experience as much as the implementation
