We are seeking an adaptable, high-reliability Freelance Frontend Tech Lead to drive a large-scale platform development effort for a major tech client.

We need an experienced technical leader who thrives on solving complex problems, guiding teams through enterprise-grade ecosystems, and delivering utility-focused web applications under aggressive timelines.

Responsibilities

• Lead and work hands-on alongside development teams to directly build, recreate, and optimize frontend UI components using Angular to correctly parse and display complex technical documentation.
• Partner with client engineering leadership to set up, manage, and optimize continuous development and DevOps pipeline flows within robust internal infrastructure.
• Quickly ramp up on proprietary internal tools, workflows, and strict access protocols.
• Partner directly with design/digital teams to unblock development tasks as design assets are finalized.
• Provide technical direction and oversight with strong, hands-on experience building structured, maintainable web applications using standard Angular.
• Practical experience working with Java/Kotlin backend services or platform logic.
• Background in setting up build pipelines, CI/CD, content ingestion, or data migration workflows.
• Comfortable navigating complex, proprietary internal ecosystems and developer documentation platforms.

Qualifications

• 8–10 years of hands-on technical experience building structured, maintainable web applications using standard Angular.
• Proven people leadership and team management track record, to deliver high-quality technical projects under aggressive timelines and tight deadlines.
• Background in setting up build pipelines, CI/CD, content ingestion, or data migration workflows.
• Comfortable navigating complex, proprietary internal ecosystems and developer documentation platforms.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience managing direct client interactions and technical project leadership.
• Comfortable delivering solid, utility-focused systems rather than creative/aesthetic digital campaigns.

Nice-to-Have
