We're looking for a Lead Front-End Developer who can own our consumer-facing product experiences end to end. What we need is someone who has built polished, high-performance B2C products at a startup, knows how to ship fast without cutting corners, and can raise the bar for a growing front-end team.

Key Responsibilities :

1. Front-End Architecture :

- Define and evolve the front-end stack, patterns, and conventions.

- Make decisions on state management, component design, performance strategy, and build pipelines.

- Build and maintain scalable, reusable components and patterns that support multiple products and use cases.

2. B2C Product Development :

- Build responsive, mobile-first web applications that serve thousands of merchants and end users.

- Obsess over load times, interaction quality, and polish.

3. Team Leadership :

- Lead and mentor a small team of front-end developers.

- Run code reviews, establish standards, and create an environment where engineers grow.

4. API Integration :

- Work with back-end teams to design and integrate RESTful APIs and own the contract between front end and back end.

5. Design Collaboration :

- Partner with product designers to translate Figma/design specs into pixel-perfect, accessible interfaces and contribute to and maintain a shared design system.

6. Quality & Testing :

- Champion front-end testing culture using Jest, React Testing Library, or Cypress and ensure critical user flows are covered.

7. Performance :

- Monitor and optimize Core Web Vitals, bundle sizes, and rendering performance and set up tooling to catch regressions early.

Tech Stack :

- Deep expertise in the first two is non-negotiable; the rest you should be comfortable with or ready to pick up quickly.

- Must-have : Next.js, Tailwind CSS

- Core : React, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+)

- Testing : Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress (or equivalent)

- Tooling : Git/GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, Webpack/ Turbopack

- Collaboration : JIRA, Confluence, Agile/Scrum workflows

- Nice to have : Familiarity with Figma, analytics/A/B testing platforms, monorepo tooling

Qualifications & Experience :

- B.Tech, B.E., MCA or equivalent.

- 6 - 8 years of hands-on front-end development experience, with at least 2 years in a lead or senior role.

- Experience working at a startup; you thrive in environments where you wear multiple hats, make trade-offs independently, and ship under ambiguity.

- A strong portfolio of B2C products - apps or web experiences used directly by consumers or small business owners.

- You think in systems, not just screens, and you care about reusable components, consistent patterns, and maintainable codebases.

- Excellent communication skills - you can articulate technical trade-offs to engineers, designers, and non-technical stakeholders alike.

- A critical thinker who debugs complex issues methodically and proposes pragmatic solutions.

- You take pride in mentoring others and building a strong engineering culture.
