Frontend Tech Lead

We build and operate Connect, a SaaS platform for the beauty & wellness industry that helps entrepreneurs run their businesses more effectively. Our web products are used daily by tens of thousands of people across 13 European countries. Our teams own their areas end-to-end — from initial idea and design through deployment and operations. We focus on writing maintainable, scalable code while balancing legacy and modern technologies, and we encourage engineers to experiment, learn from mistakes, and improve our systems continuously. As Frontend Tech Lead, you sit at the intersection of technical leadership and people leadership. Your job is not to make every decision, but to create the conditions in which good decisions get made consistently — across teams, across codebases, and across the organisation. The frontend stack is a mix of legacy and modern technologies. The application originally grew as a Backbone-based product, served through Node/Express with EJS templates, and there are still important areas of the product that work this way today. At the same time, the team is actively migrating toward a more modern React and TypeScript architecture, delivered through a gradual, page-by-page and feature-by-feature transition. Most new development happens in the modern React/TypeScript stack — React Query, Storybook, Jest, Cypress — while some work still involves the legacy Backbone codebase and the integration layer between old and new. The migration itself is one of the key technical threads you'll help shape and drive forward.
