Engineering (≈50%)

  • Design and evolve the architecture of a large Next.js (App Router) application: rendering strategy (SSR / SSG / ISR / RSC), code-splitting, and bundle health.
  • Drive web performance work end to end - Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), edge caching, and RUM-based measurement.
  • Set the engineering standard through code review, pairing, and picking up the most complex or ambiguous tasks.
  • Own frontend observability: tracing, RUM, and the feedback loop from production back into engineering decisions.
  • Shape the CDN and caching strategy together with platform/infra (cache keys, Vary, surrogate keys, edge logic).

Leadership (≈50%)

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of 4-6 frontend engineers (1:1s, growth plans, performance feedback).
  • Own delivery for the team: planning, prioritization, scoping, and realistic commitments.
  • Partner with product, design, backend, and DevOps on roadmap and technical trade-offs.
  • Improve how the team works: branching strategy, CI/CD, definition of done, release process.
  • 7+ years of frontend engineering experience, with 2+ years leading a team.
  • Deep expertise in React and TypeScript; production experience with Next.js (ideally App Router / RSC).
  • Track record in web performance optimization and understanding of how rendering strategy affects it.
  • Solid grasp of how the browser, CDN, and caching layers interact in production.
  • Proven people-leadership: grown engineers, run a delivery process, handled trade-offs under real constraints.

Nice to have

  • Experience with high-traffic, multi-brand or multi-tenant platforms.
  • Hands-on observability tooling (OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, or similar) and RUM.
  • Familiarity with Fastly or comparable CDNs at the VCL / edge-logic level.
  • SEO experience for large customer-facing sites (rendering, crawlability, hreflang, canonical strategy).
  • 20 vacation days and 5 family days yearly
  • Flexible start to the workday
  • Support from a professional corporate coach and psychologist
  • Regular internal and external activities, workshops, trips, and corporate events
  • Access to our internal knowledge base, meetups, and team-building activities
  • Ongoing training in new technologies and continuous professional development support
