Lead Frontend Developer (7+ years / Remote)

We’re looking for a seasoned technologist proficient with frontend development. Is that you?

We are looking for a Lead Frontend Developer who is hands-on, can lead our teams, and will establish best practices for software engineering in Web UI development. 

We are looking for a hardcore technologist, not a project manager. If you enjoy solving hard problems and raising the bar for frontend quality, this role is for you.

Responsibilities:

• Own the technical strategy and frontend architecture of web projects
• Set the technical direction and enforce best practices to design and build high‑performance, secure, maintainable UI code
• High-level & low-level software design, hands-on development & deployment of applications
• Work with backend, QA, and product to meet performance, security, and reliability goals.
• Mentor engineers by example, not by assigning tickets
• Put in place good practices for robust, pixel-perfect UI development in multiple projects

Required Skills and Experience

• 7+ years building complex web applications
• Deep hands‑on work with React, Angular, Vue, or similar frameworks, HTML5, CSS3 (including preprocessors or CSS‑in‑JS)
• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript skills
• Proven track record of improving performance, security, or maintainability in production
• Experience writing unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests
• Demonstrated technical leadership: you have set standards, driven architectural change, and mentored peers
• Comfortable discussing trade‑offs and making decisions without a manager’s sign‑off
• CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks
• Understanding of OWASP security basics for the frontend
• Ability to profile and optimize bundle size, render time, and memory usage.

Nice-to-have Skills

• Experience with server‑side rendering or static site generation
• Knowledge of GraphQL, WebSockets, or other real‑time APIs
• Contributions to open‑source or public tech talks

Our Expectations

• You produce clean, readable code that others can follow
• You own the outcome of the frontend stack, not just the task list
• You can optimize performance and put in place security measures for projects
• You question shortcuts that compromise quality
• You can share knowledge in code reviews, brown‑bag sessions, or pair programming
