Overview of the Role
As the Team Lead for our Frontend Web Application team, you will play a pivotal role in leading, mentoring, and guiding a talented group of engineers and quality assurance specialists. Your deep technical understanding of ReactJS, Node.js (NestJS), and PHP (Laravel), combined with strong leadership and people management skills, will ensure the team delivers high-quality, performant, and scalable web applications and content management solutions within our monorepo environment.
This role enables a hybrid approach to working, allowing you to balance working from home with working in our modern offices. You and your manager will agree on the best working pattern that suits both of you. We’ll kit you out to work remotely, but we know that collaboration is key to our success, and spending quality time together helps us stay aligned with our mission.
What you’ll do:
Technical Leadership & Guidance
Facilitate Technical Excellence: Work in close collaboration with the Principal Engineer within the team and the Solution Architect assigned to the Tribe to ensure technical quality, design integrity, and robust implementation across our Frontend and CMS, including its API. Special attention will be given to maintaining consistency and quality within our monorepo.
Guide and Empower the Team: Provide strong technical guidance and mentorship to the team, empowering them to adopt and drive best practices in ReactJS, Node.js (NestJS), PHP (Laravel), web testing strategies, and CI/CD pipelines relevant to modern web application development.
Contribute to Design & Problem Solving: Actively participate in technical design discussions and contribute to resolving complex technical challenges spanning frontend, backend, and CMS components, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned with overall architectural guidelines.
Oversee Code Quality: Ensure a high standard of code quality and adherence to coding practices across all technologies. Foster a culture of peer code reviews and provide constructive feedback to continuously improve the team's technical skills.
Technical Escalation & Support: Serve as a key technical escalation point for the team, helping to unblock technical challenges by leveraging your expertise and collaborating effectively with the Principal Engineer and Solution Architect as needed.
Team Leadership & People Management
Direct Line Management: Act as the direct line manager for all technical team members, including Principal Engineers, Frontend Developers (ReactJS), Backend Developers (Node.js/NestJS, PHP/Laravel), QA Engineers, and QA Automation Engineers—supporting their growth and development.
Performance & Development: Conduct regular 1:1 meetings, set clear goals, provide continuous constructive feedback, and lead performance reviews to support both individual and team development.
Foster High Performance: Cultivate a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performing team environment that promotes accountability, innovation, and knowledge sharing.
Resource & Workload Management:
Collaborate closely with the Scrum Master to manage team capacity, facilitate task allocation, and ensure optimal workload distribution to meet delivery commitments.
Analyze team performance reports (e.g., velocity, lead time, defect trends) to identify areas for improvement.
Develop and implement actionable plans based on performance analysis to enhance team efficiency, quality, and predictability.
Quality Assurance & Automation Oversight
Collaborate with QA Leadership: Work in close partnership with the QA Lead (or equivalent) to define, implement, and oversee effective testing strategies for web applications, including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing across frontend, backend, and CMS components.
Empower Automation Development: Collaborate with the QA Lead to guide and support the QA Automation Engineer(s) in building and refining modern automation frameworks that ensure rapid and reliable software delivery.
Foster Quality Culture: Promote a strong culture of quality throughout the development lifecycle by encouraging proactive testing and quality assurance practices across the team.
Collaboration & Communication
Represent your team's technical capabilities and needs within the Tribe and broader engineering discussions, particularly when coordinating with various market teams.
Communicate effectively with the Head of Engineering, providing regular updates on team progress, technical challenges, and strategic direction.
