Are you a Lead UI Engineer looking to have a large impact? As an established Lead Engineer, do you enjoy driving technical direction while being hands-on? We're working with a rapid-growth startup (profitable, 35% YoY growth, \~100 people) who are keen to find a talented User Interface Developer who can technically lead their existing frontend team.
This is a rare opportunity to join a greenfield project as the company look to design their run-away success product from the ground up.
We're looking forward to speaking to Lead UI engineers with the following profile:-
A minimum 10 years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 4 years building production frontends with React \& Typescript
Strong frontend engineering fundamentals:
Component architecture, state management, performance optimisation and responsive design
Proven track record as a hands-on senior frontend engineer:
You design and deliver production features while coaching and supporting others from a technical perspective
Data Visualisation:
Some prior experience in this domain will be a big advantage
Modern frontend tooling:
Experience with build tools (Vite, Webpack), testing frameworks, and modern development workflows
API integration:
Experience consuming REST APIs, handling asynchronous data, error handling, and loading states
Performance optimisation:
Deep understanding of frontend performance--code splitting, lazy loading, memorisation, rendering optimisation
Start-up experience:
Somebody who enjoys fast pace, quick decisions \& blurring boundaries
Clear evidence of mentoring and clear demonstration of taking the lead very important for this role
You'll be happy producing high-quality code and collaborating closely with UX designers. As a lead UI developer, you'll also be comfortable guiding and mentoring more junior developers / engineers. This is a role that comes with a high degree of autonomy and there is an expectation that you will be passionate about your craft and build that culture around you.
If this sounds like the move you're looking for, please get in touch us and we'd be happy to share further details with you.
