Your Role at Yuki

As our Frontend Lead, your mission is to organise and unify our frontend efforts: leading the consolidation of our stack onto Vue 3 as our standard, raising the bar on architecture and UX, and bringing a team of talented engineers along with you.

You'll set the technical direction, own the environment for our chosen stack, and help the wider organisation make better, cost-aware technology decisions. You'll lead a team of 6 to 7 engineers of mixed seniority and backgrounds, guiding and mentoring them.

• Set the direction: Lead the consolidation onto Vue 3 and define the architecture, patterns, and design system the whole frontend builds on.
• Own the standard: Maintain and evolve the environment for our chosen stack, and champion SOLID principles, clean code, and testability across the team.
• Guide the trade-offs: Weigh technical cost and benefit, and help management make better technical decisions with clear, well-presented reasoning.
• Lead the team: Coach and align a mixed-seniority team, spot bad practices before they spread, and turn past mistakes into better ways of working.
• Build with AI: Set the standard AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor) across the frontend team.
