About the Role

The Lead Frontend Engineer owns the growth and output of a frontend engineering pod, including hiring, developing, and managing a small team.

Responsibilities

• Influence technical direction and architectural decisions across frontend systems, balancing pragmatism with long-term scalability.
• Build a state-driven UI that adapts seamlessly to network-specific quirks.
• Support legacy and new plans simultaneously.
• Create elegant, highly accessible (a11y-first) interfaces that work across platforms.
• Lead and contribute to building modern frontend features using React, TypeScript, and CSS.
• Design and build UI components for both web and React Native applications.
• Architect scalable systems to support millions of user interactions across different networks.
• Collaborate closely with backend, product, and design teams to drive elegant, data-informed solutions.
• Work with emerging technologies like Rust where performance or architecture demands.
• Set and uphold engineering standards and best practices across your team.
• Manage, mentor, and grow a team of frontend engineers — owning hiring decisions, performance management, career development, and day-to-day team health.
• Partner closely with Talent/Recruiting to define hiring needs, shape interview processes, and build out the frontend engineering team as we scale.

Requirements

• 12+ years of frontend engineering experience building production-grade UIs, including experience in a technical leadership or people management role.
• Demonstrated experience managing, mentoring, and growing frontend engineers, including hiring and performance management.
• Proven ability to influence technical direction and drive architectural decisions at a team or organizational level.
• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to represent frontend engineering’s perspective persuasively in front of executives, PMs, and cross-functional partners.
• Comfort operating in a fast paced environment — wearing multiple hats across engineering, hiring, and cross-functional work.
• Experience partnering with Talent/Recruiting to build and scale engineering teams — defining roles, running hiring processes, and closing candidates.
• A strong eye for UX/UI detail, accessibility, and responsive design.
• Comfort dealing with complexity: legacy code, varied device support, and cross-platform consistency.
• A self-starter who can define and deliver high-leverage solutions with minimal oversight.
