Innovation, performance, and user experience—three key pillars shaping this eCommerce business as they push the boundaries of online retail. They’re looking for a Lead Frontend Developer to lead the evolution of their customer-facing platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, and seamless interactions.

This role isn’t just about writing clean, efficient code; it’s about owning the frontend strategy, mentoring a talented team, and shaping the future of their digital experience.

• Keep the team updated on the latest trends in frontend development and eCommerce.

Your Background:

• Experience leading teams or mentoring developers in a fast-paced environment.
• Problem-solver with an analytical mindset and a keen eye for performance optimisation.
• Clear communicator who can bridge the gap between tech and business.
