Technical Lead Front-End

We are seeking a high-impact Technical Lead Front-End to serve as the technical authority for our front-end ecosystem across major international digital projects. This is a senior-level Individual Contributor role focused on shaping front-end architecture, establishing engineering excellence, and acting as a strategic consultant to stakeholders. You will drive technical best practices and solve complex engineering challenges while ensuring our solutions remain scalable, secure, and world-class.

Excelling at cross-functional collaboration, working closely with Product, Infrastructure, Design and Backend teams to ensure seamless integration is key for the success of the role.

Beyond internal development, you will act as a strategic technical consultant in customer interactions, bridging the gap between complex technical solutions and business objectives to drive project success on a global scale.

Please note that for this role we’re open to consider a full-remote model.

Responsibilities

Technical Architecture

• Front-end architectures: Shape and maintain the front-end architectural vision, ensuring all solutions are robust, accessible, and high-performing.
• Systems Design: Lead the design of complex front-end systems, focusing on modularity, reusability, and long-term maintainability.
• Standard Setting: Establish and evolve coding standards, best practices, and performance benchmarks that set the bar for the Digital team.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Technical Liaison: Act as the primary technical point of contact for customers and business stakeholders, translating complex technical trade-offs into business impact.
• Requirement Refinement: Partner with Product Owners and BAs to bridge the gap between business requirements and technical feasibility, defining rigorous acceptance criteria.
• Risk Management: Identify and communicate technical risks early, providing mitigation strategies to leadership and external partners.
• Technical Sales Support: Occasionally support high-level discovery phases with customers to validate technical approaches for new international projects.

Technical Influence & Mentorship

• Technical Leadership: While not a people manager, you will provide technical "gravity" guiding the direction of projects through code reviews, RFCs (Request for Comments), and architectural spikes.
• Knowledge Sharing: Foster a culture of excellence by mentoring senior engineers on advanced patterns and conducting "brown bag" sessions on emerging front-end trends.
• Problem Solving: Act as the ultimate escalation point for the most complex technical blockers, providing hands‑on intervention when necessary.

Operational Excellence

• Documentation: Maintain a comprehensive library of architectural principles and technical decision records (ADRs) to ensure organizational alignment.

Requirements

Technical Mastery

• Full-Stack Mindset: Knowledge, or experience with Next.js is a big plus. Familiarity with server‑side/client‑side rendering patterns and self‑hosting Node.js in containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes).
• UI/UX Precision: Expertise in Tailwind CSS and a strong commitment to web accessibility (WCAG) and performance optimization.
• Engineering Rigor: Knowledge of front-end testing strategies (Jest) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for modern deployment management.

Soft Skills for the Individual Contributor

• Strategic Communication: Ability to influence stakeholders and "sell" technical debt reduction or architectural shifts to non-technical audiences.
• Critical Thinking: A high degree of analytical skill to decompose massive, international‑scale problems into actionable technical roadmaps.
• Autonomy: A self‑starter who identifies what needs to be fixed without waiting for a ticket or a manager’s directive.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Driven to push the boundaries and lead change and performance
• Communicative to leave no‑one in the dark and to work with your team successfully
• Reliable so we know that we can call on you to meet deadlines
• Passionate about the latest technologies and standards
• Proactive to suggest improvements, identify and fix potential issues
• Solid technically speaking, to advise both Clients and internal teams

Our people are key to our success and we pride ourselves on offering a dynamic, creative, innovative and supportive environment. Having the right combination of a 'can‑do' appr
