Frontend Team Lead

Engineering (≈50%)

• Design and evolve the architecture of a large Next.js (App Router) application: rendering strategy (SSR / SSG / ISR / RSC), code-splitting, and bundle health.
• Drive web performance work end to end - Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), edge caching, and RUM-based measurement.
• Set the engineering standard through code review, pairing, and picking up the most complex or ambiguous tasks.
• Own frontend observability: tracing, RUM, and the feedback loop from production back into engineering decisions.
• Shape the CDN and caching strategy together with platform/infra (cache keys, Vary, surrogate keys, edge logic).

Leadership (≈50%)

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4-6 frontend engineers (1:1s, growth plans, performance feedback).
• Own delivery for the team: planning, prioritization, scoping, and realistic commitments.
• Partner with product, design, backend, and DevOps on roadmap and technical trade-offs.
• Improve how the team works: branching strategy, CI/CD, definition of done, release process.

Tech stack

• **Core:** TypeScript, React, Next.js (App Router), React Server Components.
• **Build / repo:** pnpm monorepo, modern bundler tooling, shared internal packages.
• **Edge / delivery:** Fastly CDN (VCL, edge caching, Early Hints), multi-brand / multi-tenant routing.
• **Observability:** OpenTelemetry with a SigNoz backend, Web Vitals RUM pipeline.
• **Platform:** Kubernetes-based deployments, object storage, Redis, MongoDB (backend-adjacent context).
• **Practices:** trunk-based development, feature flags, strong SEO discipline for customer-facing pages.
• 7+ years of frontend engineering experience, with 2+ years leading a team.
• Deep expertise in React and TypeScript; production experience with Next.js (ideally App Router / RSC).
• Track record in web performance optimization and understanding of how rendering strategy affects it.
• Solid grasp of how the browser, CDN, and caching layers interact in production.
• Proven people-leadership: grown engineers, run a delivery process, handled trade-offs under real constraints.
