Lead Frontend Developer – £115,000–£120,000 Remote | Full-time | Permanent
I'm working with a long-established, fast-scaling SaaS business that’s looking for a Lead Frontend Developer to join their growing engineering team. My client is investing heavily in product innovation and team expansion as they scale towards an ambitious growth target. This is a brilliant opportunity to lead the frontend function of a mission-critical enterprise platform used by major global organisations.
You’ll play a pivotal role as a hands-on technical leader, owning the frontend architecture and delivery across a modern, agile product environment. You’ll manage a team of four frontend engineers (across EU time zones) and work closely with the executive leadership team, including the CEO and incoming CTO.
This is a role for someone who thrives in a product-focused setting—solving complex UI challenges, not building brochureware or basic web apps.
Agile pods, 2-week sprints
Deep expertise in React—you know it inside out
Strong experience migrating applications to frontend-first architecture
Solid understanding of building UIs that interface with Java backends
Confident technical leadership within agile product teams
A background in product/platform development, not traditional web agencies
Comfortable leading and mentoring in a remote-first environment
