🌳🌳🌳 🚀 – Front-End Tech Lead / Development Team Lead (x5)

🚀 Award-Winning, High-Growth Tech Scale-Up | AI-Powered SaaS | £67,000–£80,000 + Market-Leading Benefits

Areti Group – Carbon Positive Tech Recruitment | People & Planet Before Profit

This is a front-end–first leadership role.

You’ll lead a cross-functional product engineering team, with your primary focus on :

• 🌳 SPA architecture and front-end design - VUE.JS, Angular, Javascript, React.JS
• 🌳 Complex, data-rich user interfaces
• 🌳 Modern JavaScript frameworks
• 🌳 Usability, performance, and maintainability at scale

You’ll still collaborate closely with backend engineers, but your ownership sits firmly on the UI and client-side experience.

Teams may focus on :

• 🌳 Major UI modernisation initiatives
• 🌳 New front-end modules and workflows
• 🌳 Large DOM / high-interaction interfaces
• 🌳 Performance optimisation and UX refinement
• 🌳 Design system evolution and component architecture

Focus areas rotate annually, offering long-term growth and variety.

What You’ll Do

• 🌳 Lead and coach 2–6 front-end / full-stack engineers
• 🌳 Own front-end technical direction, architecture, and standards
• 🌳 Drive SPA design decisions across Vue / React / Angular codebases
• 🌳 Partner with Product and Design to shape feature scope and UX
• 🌳 Build, test, and ship high-quality, user-facing features
• 🌳 Break down complex UI challenges into clear, deliverable work
• 🌳 Influence backend API design to support excellent front-end experiences
• 🌳 Stay hands‑on with code, especially while teams are scaling
• 🌳 Help interview and hire senior front‑end engineers
• 🌳 Champion accessibility, performance, and usability best practices

Tech Stack (Front-End Focus)

We’re looking for strong front‑end engineers who can lead technically.

• 🌳 Vue.js (primary SPA framework)
• 🌳 JavaScript / TypeScript
• 🌳 HTML, CSS (modern layout, responsive design)
• 🌳 SPA state management and component architecture

Supporting stack (you’ll collaborate closely, not own alone) :

• 🌳 .NET (.NET Framework & .NET Core)
• 🌳 Azure SQL & Azure Cloud
• 🌳 RESTful APIs
• 🌳 Bonus : SignalR, RabbitMQ, broader Azure services

Experience with large, complex, data-heavy interfaces is a major plus.

About You

Leadership titles aren’t required - front‑end leadership behaviours are.

You’ll be a great fit if you :

• 🌳 Are a senior front-end or UI-focused full-stack engineer
• 🌳 Have led technical direction for SPAs or front-end platforms
• 🌳 Enjoy mentoring engineers and raising the bar on UI quality
• 🌳 Are confident making architectural decisions in JavaScript frameworks
• 🌳 Care deeply about usability, clarity, and performance
• 🌳 Can challenge assumptions constructively and ask the “awkward” questions kindly
• 🌳 Thrive in agile, product-led SaaS environments
• 🌳 Want to build software that people genuinely enjoy using

What You’ll Get

• 🌳 £67,000–£85,000 depending on experience
• 🌳 Remote-first working across Scotland
• 🌳 £1,000+ annual learning & development budget
• 🌳 33 days holiday, rising to 40
• 🌳 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years
• 🌳 Private healthcare, income protection, death-in-service
• 🌳 5% matched pension
• 🌳 Innovation Weeks (twice per year)
• 🌳 20 hours paid volunteering time
• 🌳 Monthly team social time (in-person & virtual)
• 🌳 A genuinely kind, ambitious, and collaborative engineering culture

Working Model

• 🌳 Remote-first across the UK
• 🌳 Optional collaboration days in the office
• 🌳 Flexible working hours (37.5-hour week)
• 🌳 No mandated office days - trust and outcomes matter most
