[Hiring] Frontend Tech Lead @Treatwell

Role Description

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.

Our frontend stack is a mix of legacy and modern technologies:

• Originally grew as a Backbone-based product, served through Node/Express with EJS templates.
• Actively migrating toward a more modern React and TypeScript architecture.
• Most new development happens in the modern React/TypeScript stack — React Query, Storybook, Jest, Cypress.
• Some work still involves the legacy Backbone codebase and the integration layer between old and new.

You will be responsible for:

• Leading the Frontend Guild.
• Setting technical direction and maintaining quality.
• Building relationships and growing the people around you.
• Bridging engineering and the wider organisation.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of software development experience.
• Deep expertise in modern web frontend technologies.
• Experience operating across teams and codebases.
• Natural builder of trust.
• Excellent English communication skills.
• Ability to hold technical depth and organisational breadth.

Requirements

• Experience setting technical direction and defining standards.
• Ability to adapt leadership style to the situation.
• Experience mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement.
• Ability to communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical partners.

Benefits

• 28-days holiday, plus bank holidays.
• Monthly €40 Treatwell vouchers.
• Mental health support through our partnership with Plumm.
• Growth funds for personal development.
