Lead Frontend developer

Hi! We’re building application that helps professionals find side projects and enables businesses to connect with qualified experts for short-term or part-time collaborations.

  • Target audience: Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that can’t afford full-time hiring but are looking for skilled specialists on a flexible basis.

  • Main idea: To bring together professionals seeking additional work with companies that need experienced support for short-term projects.

We’re looking for a Lead Frontend Developer to take ownership of frontend development. You’ll be responsible for defining architectural decisions, setting the technical direction for the frontend, and eventually leading the technical team.

Your Responsibilities

Frontend Architecture

  • Break down the project into well-defined modules.

  • Keep the tech stack up-to-date and introduce modern solutions.

Delivery Ownership

  • Plan sprints: prioritize and estimate tasks, distribute workload across the team.

  • Decompose tasks: translate high-level goals into actionable steps.

  • Ensure the team delivers planned features to production on time.

  • Maintain process quality: identify and resolve bottlenecks.

  • Evaluate team performance after each sprint and define areas for improvement.

Team Leadership

  • Manage the weekly work cycle: planning, progress tracking, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.

  • Support team growth and motivation through 1:1s, performance reviews, and code reviews.

UI Kit Development

  • Build and maintain a custom UI kit in collaboration with designers and the product team.

Product Development

  • Develop new features for both mobile and web applications.

  • Support and enhance existing components.

Marketing and Product Experiments

  • Work on onboarding flows, A/B tests, and marketing experiments.

Integrations and Experiments

  • Integrate external services and explore new tools.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in frontend development, including 2+ years in a Senior or Lead role.

  • Proven experience managing a team, estimating tasks, and assessing performance.

You’ve worked with:

  • Frontend: React, MobX, TypeScript, Next.js.

  • UI: Building and maintaining a custom design system / UI kit.

  • Integrations: OpenAI and other third-party APIs.

  • Infrastructure: AWS, CI/CD via GitLab Pipelines, backend interaction (Django, PostgreSQL).

Soft Skills

  • Strong autonomy and ability to structure your own work.

  • Responsibility and readiness to take initiative.

  • Ability to define and communicate a frontend technology strategy.

  • Curiosity and motivation to grow with the product.

  • Understanding that success is not just about writing code, but also about ensuring predictable, team-wide delivery.

What We Offer

  • Growth with the product: You’ll directly shape the technical strategy as we expand.

  • Deep product involvement: You’re not just maintaining an existing system — you’re helping build it from the ground up.

  • Fully remote work: You can work from anywhere, as long as you’re available during GMT +3 / +4 working hours.

  • Efficient communication: We value async collaboration — no unnecessary calls, structured weekly sprints.

  • Startup environment: Fast-paced, flexible, and constantly evolving.

  • Competitive compensation:

  • $5000–$6000 USD gross.

Team Structure
Currently, the tech team includes 5 people:

  • Backend Developer

  • Frontend Developer

  • Mobile Developer

  • QA Engineer

  • CTO (Backend + Tech Strategy)

The total company size is around 20 people across different functions.

How We Work

  • We operate in weekly sprints adapted to a startup workflow:

    • Monday: sprint planning — defining and estimating tasks.

    • Flexible iterations: occasional mid-week adjustments for urgent priorities.

    • Daily stand-ups: at 12:00 GMT+4.

    • Friday grooming sessions: preparing tasks for the next sprint.

    • Core meetings: collaborative discussions on planning, prioritization, and technical reviews.
