We are looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to take ownership of our frontend and help shape how it grows as the team expands. You will be our first dedicated frontend engineer, responsible for our Vue 3 design system and the product interfaces built on top of it.

This is a hands-on engineering role. You will spend a substantial part of your time building product features and design-system components yourself, while also setting frontend standards and guiding how the interface evolves.

You will work closely with our product owner, full-stack developers, and domain experts. We care about more than implementation quality. We want someone who thinks in systems, understands how users make decisions, and designs interfaces that help engineering and program teams work effectively with complex data.

Responsibilities

- Understand software requirements and take full ownership through the SDLC design, build, test, deploy, monitor and maintain
- Build and ship user-facing features end-to-end, from component design through to production
- Grow the Vue 3 component/design system into documented, tested, production-ready components
- Collaborate directly with product and the backend engineer to turn requirements into working software
- Contribute to frontend coding standards and review practices as the team grows
- Work async-first with the Germany-based team, with overlap hours for key syncs

Working Model

- Work from our office in Chennai and/or in Hybrid mode.
- Close daily collaboration with our team in Germany, with at least 4 to 5 hours of overlap
- You will work closely with product, engineering, and domain experts rather than in isolation
- We build products for the long term and value getting things right over shipping fast
