This is a front-end–first leadership role.
You’ll lead a cross-functional product engineering team, with your primary focus on :
* 🌳 SPA architecture and front-end design - VUE.JS, Angular, Javascript, React.JS
* 🌳 Complex, data-rich user interfaces
* 🌳 Modern JavaScript frameworks

You’ll still collaborate closely with backend engineers, but your ownership sits firmly on the UI and client-side experience.
Teams may focus on :
* 🌳 Major UI modernisation initiatives
* 🌳 New front-end modules and workflows
* 🌳 Large DOM / high-interaction interfaces
* 🌳 Performance optimisation and UX refinement
* 🌳 Design system evolution and component architecture
Focus areas rotate annually, offering long-term growth and variety.
What You’ll Do
* 🌳 Lead and coach 2–6 front-end / full-stack engineers
* 🌳 Own front-end technical direction, architecture, and standards
* 🌳 Drive SPA design decisions across Vue / React / Angular codebases
* 🌳 Partner with Product and Design to shape feature scope and UX
* 🌳 Build, test, and ship high-quality, user-facing features
* 🌳 Break down complex UI challenges into clear, deliverable work
* 🌳 Influence backend API design to support excellent front-end experiences
* 🌳 Stay hands‑on with code, especially while teams are scaling
* 🌳 Help interview and hire senior front‑end engineers
* 🌳 Champion accessibility, performance, and usability best practices
Tech Stack (Front-End Focus)
We’re looking for strong front‑end engineers who can lead technically.
* 🌳 Vue.js (primary SPA framework)
* 🌳 JavaScript / TypeScript
* 🌳 HTML, CSS (modern layout, responsive design)
* 🌳 SPA state management and component architecture
Supporting stack (you’ll collaborate closely, not own alone) :
* 🌳 .NET (.NET Framework & .NET Core)
* 🌳 Azure SQL & Azure Cloud
* 🌳 RESTful APIs
* 🌳 Bonus : SignalR, RabbitMQ, broader Azure services
Experience with large, complex, data-heavy interfaces is a major plus.
