Job description

We are looking for a Head of Frontend Engineering to lead a large engineering unit (~70+ engineers, including Team Leads) and drive the development of our frontend direction, engineering culture, and product quality.

This is a systems and leadership role, focused on scaling teams, improving engineering processes, and influencing architecture — not day-to-day hands‑on development.

Your Mission:

• Lead the frontend organization (engineering + UI/design teams), ~70+ engineers
• Scale teams through Team Leads and develop engineering leaders
• Build and evolve engineering culture, standards, and best practices
• Design and improve development and delivery processes
• Ensure quality, stability, and predictability of product delivery
• Participate in architectural decisions (including microfrontend approach)
• Manage technical debt and improve system sustainability
• Drive hiring and development of key engineering talent
• Collaborate closely with Product, Backend, and Design teams

Your Unique Contribution:

• 5+ years of engineering leadership experience, including managing 40+ people through Team Leads
• Proven experience scaling engineering organizations and delivery processes
• Strong background in frontend development
• Experience developing engineers and tech leads (mentoring, performance management, growth planning)
• Understanding of complex frontend architectures
• Experience with high-load web applications
• Strong communication skills and experience working in cross‑functional teams
• Fluency in Russian is required for effective day-to-day collaboration within the engineering team

Technology context:

• Vue (2/3) / React
• TypeScript
• State management: Pinia, Vuex and similar solutions
• Microfrontend architecture (Webpack Module Federation)
• Webpack
• Jest and unit testing

What's in It for You:

• Leadership of a large frontend engineering organization (~70+ engineers)
• Strong influence on architecture and core product direction
• Highly skilled engineering and leadership team
• Remote-first work format or office option
• Competitive compensation (discussed individually)
• Opportunity to shape engineering processes and strategy
• Learning & development support (training, conferences, knowledge sharing)
• Open and collaborative environment where you can actively shape systems, not just maintain them
