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
🌳 Usability, performance, and maintainability at scale
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.
Core technologies include:
🌳 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.
