About the job Senior Front End Engineer/Tech Lead

Our client is an early stage start-up looking to bring in a Tech Lead

They arebuilding a platform for software engineers to build on the cloud faster, better, and more scalably than ever before. Their mission is to accelerate the adoption of cloud compute and unlock production-grade deployments for every developer.

About the Role

You will be in charge of designing and implementing Front End Web UI experience. You will work closely with our CTO and other engineers on the team and have the opportunity to make a huge impact given the interface you own is the main way customers interact with them.

A typical week can include creating new UI flows/workflows and working on user-facing features/functionality that improves the developer experience. You will be hands-on writing code, not only proofs-of-concept.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has strong frontend experience building with frameworks like React and Typescript
• Has experience architecting complex frontend applications with multiple views and components.
• Will own frontend roadmap - optimizing performance, polishing flows, developing new views, etc. This will entail regular communication with the CTO on priorities/progress and likely shipping to production daily.
• Will provide mentorship to other team members and contribute to technical conversations about how to improve usability of the cloud.
• Will be comfortable in a role that skews more towards User Interface/User Experience but with some responsibility for performance (ensuring graphs render as fast as possible etc)
• Must have a passion for developer experience/solving developer problems.
• Thrives in a small team environment, working closely with developer customers and engineers

Bonus Points:****

• Early-stage tech startup experience, including at a DevTools company.
• Experience with analytics tooling - when you make a change, can you understand the impact?
• Some back end chops would be helpful but are not required i.e. understanding of DevOps/SRE process and pain points plus experience with tools like Jenkins, Github Actions, ArgoCD, Pulumi, Terraform.
• Contribution to relevant open source software and/or speaker at renowned conferences on e.g. advanced React topics
• You read the React beta release notes for fun
