About AirDNA

AirDNA builds data-driven tools for short-term rental decisions. We track 10M+ listings in 120,000 markets and serve users in over 100 countries.

We are a curious, driven, and kind team. Our values — Happy, Hungry, Honest — guide how we show up for customers and for each other. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage you to apply even if you don’t check every box. Passion, potential, and perspective matter here.

The Role

AirDNA is looking for a Frontend Tech Lead to help shape the future of our product experience and technical direction. While this role is full-stack, you will be the technical driver for our frontend guild, pushing forward our React/TypeScript architecture, design systems, and developer experience. You’ll partner with Product, Design, and Engineering leaders to deliver beautiful, performant, and scalable customer-facing applications. As a Tech Lead, you’ll guide technical decisions across squads, mentor engineers, and help set the long-term direction of our frontend practice.

Here’s what you’ll get to do:

• Lead frontend technical strategy: Define best practices, champion modern frontend architecture, and drive adoption of component libraries, state management patterns, and performance optimizations.
• Build customer-facing features: Work as a hands-on engineer in your squad, implementing features with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and associated libraries.
• Shape the frontend guild: Facilitate guild discussions, align engineers across squads, and promote knowledge-sharing and consistency in our frontend stack.
• Mentor and grow engineers: Coach junior and mid-level developers, review code, and help engineers build strong frontend skills.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Backend Engineers to deliver features that delight customers.
• Contribute full-stack when needed: While you’re frontend-leaning, you’ll occasionally dive into backend services (Python, AWS, APIs, Kubernetes) to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Drive engineering excellence: Influence tooling, CI/CD, testing, and monitoring strategies that improve developer velocity and reliability.
• Represent engineering: Serve as a technical leader in planning sessions, roadmap discussions, and cross-team initiatives.

Here’s what you’ll need to be successful:

• Experienced: 8+ years of professional software engineering, with at least 5 years of recent experience in React and TypeScript.
• Frontend expert: You’ve scaled and optimized large-scale SPAs, understand rendering/performance tradeoffs, and care deeply about accessibility and design fidelity.
• Full-stack capable: You’re comfortable contributing to backend systems (Python/Django/FastAPI, AWS, data pipelines) when the team needs it.
• Technical leader: You’ve led technical discussions, influenced architecture decisions, and aligned teams toward common engineering standards.
• Mentor: You enjoy leveling up others, giving thoughtful feedback, and guiding careers.
• Collaborator: You thrive in cross-functional environments and can translate business goals into technical strategy.
• Forward-thinking: You stay current on frontend trends, evaluate emerging tools, and bring pragmatic innovation to the team.

Here’s what would be nice to have:

• Experience with design systems and component libraries (e.g., Storybook, Radix, Styled Components).
• Experience with React Query, Recoil, Redux, or other state/data management approaches.
• Experience with Google Maps API or other data visualization libraries (D3, Leaflet, Mapbox).
• Strong background in CI/CD pipelines (GitLab preferred) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with headless CMS platforms (Prismic, Contentful).
• Experience with data-intensive apps, large-scale visualizations, or personalization at scale.

Here's what you can expect from us:

• Any hire made outside of Spain would be a full-time contractor. Benefits for remote EU contractors include:
• Indefinite contract
• Competitive salary
• 36 holidays per year
• Flexible remote environment
• Continuing education stipend
• Language lessons with Preply (French-German-Italian-Spanish)
• A friendly, collaborative team that values clear communication
• Opportunities for growth, mentorship, and learning new technologies
• A mission-driven product with real user impact
