THE CHANCE
We are looking for a Frontend Lead with deep frontend expertise to lead NorthLadder's product engineering team. This is a senior leadership role with two interlocking dimensions: you will own the UI strategy and visual standards of our product, and manage a team that is primarily frontend engineers, with backend engineers and QA also reporting into you.

The weight of this role sits firmly in the frontend and UI space — your technical home ground. You will set the bar for how NorthLadder's interfaces are built, reviewed, and shipped, while providing management oversight to backend and QA functions. You will report to the VP of Engineering and operate as a key voice in engineering leadership.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Frontend Engineering Leadership (Primary Focus)
Lead and manage a frontend-heavy engineering team: the majority of your direct reports are frontend engineers building React/Next.js-based web and mobile interfaces.
Set and enforce frontend engineering standards — component architecture, code review practices, performance benchmarks, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA),



and browser/device compatibility.
Own the UI component library and front-end design system; ensure components are reusable, well-documented, and consistently adopted across squads.
Drive frontend delivery: sprint planning, estimation, code reviews, release coordination, and post-release monitoring for frontend surfaces.
Evaluate and make decisions on frontend tooling, frameworks, and libraries — staying current with the React/Next.js ecosystem.
Ensure frontend builds are fast, reliable, and well-integrated into CI/CD pipelines; own frontend performance and quality metrics.
Actively participate in architecture discussions and technical design reviews for features with significant frontend surface area.

UI Strategy & Visual Direction
Define NorthLadder's UI strategy: visual language, interaction patterns, spacing/typography/colour systems, and component standards across all product sur
