• Lead the frontend technical strategy, defining best practices and driving adoption of modern architecture, component libraries, and performance optimizations.
• Build customer-facing features using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and related libraries.
• Facilitate guild discussions, align engineers across squads, and promote knowledge sharing and consistency in frontend development.
• Mentor junior and mid-level developers, providing code reviews and guidance to strengthen frontend skills.
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Designers, Data Scientists, and Backend Engineers to deliver high-quality features.
• Contribute to backend systems (Python, AWS, APIs, Kubernetes) when needed to deliver end-to-end solutions.
• Drive engineering excellence by improving tooling, CI/CD, testing, and monitoring strategies.
• Represent the frontend team in planning sessions, roadmap discussions, and cross-team initiatives.

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 5+ years focused on React and TypeScript.
• Strong expertise in building and optimizing large-scale SPAs with attention to performance, accessibility, and design fidelity.
• Experience contributing to backend systems (Python/Django/FastAPI, AWS, data pipelines).
• Proven ability to lead technical discussions, influence architecture, and align teams on engineering standards.
• Experience mentoring and coaching engineers, providing thoughtful feedback, and guiding career development.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills in cross-functional teams.
• Forward-thinking mindset with awareness of emerging frontend trends, tools, and best practices.
• Experience with design systems, state management libraries, data-intensive apps, or large-scale visualizations is a plus.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitLab) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) is advantageous.
• Based in Europe, with a remote-first work style and occasional team offsites.

• Competitive salary with indefinite contract for EU-based remote contractors.
• 36 holidays per year and flexible remote work environment.
• Continuing education stipend and language lessons (French, German, Italian, Spanish).
• Opportunities for growth, mentorship, and learning new technologies.
• Friendly, collaborative team that values clear communication.
• Mission-driven product with real user impact.
