Join our team as a Front-end Tech Lead, where you will guide our mobile and web engineering initiatives. You will lead a team in designing, developing, and deploying high-quality applications, setting the technical direction and ensuring consistent, reliable delivery across platforms.
This isn’t a “just ship tickets” role. We’re looking for someone who can mentor a small but growing team (6 - 12 engineers), architect clean, extensible systems, and still roll up their sleeves to debug a gnarly performance issue when it matters.
