- Deep experience building and scaling React applications in production, with strong knowledge of TypeScript and modern web engineering practices.
- Experience working with product owners to break down business requirements into deliverable tasks, estimate complexity and plan work across a team.
- Ability to look at a design or outline specification and quickly identify technical challenges, propose alternative approaches where useful, and explain trade offs clearly.
- Passion for building high performing teams, including organising work streams with product partners, looking for ways to improve team flow, and encouraging individual accountability for delivery.
- Experience mentoring and supporting other engineers, alongside engineering managers, to encourage their personal and professional growth and enable them to succeed.
- Track record of leading on automated testing and quality, taking a pragmatic approach to improvements and setting the standard for testing practices in your team.
- Comfortable identifying and assessing technical debt in web systems, and a clear voice for prioritising code and architecture improvements alongside feature work when the opportunity arises.
- Awareness of accessibility needs for web users and familiarity with approaches and tools that help teams meet accessibility guidelines and best practices.
- Experience leading web teams that have built or worked on products which scaled to very large user bases, and applying those lessons in new contexts.
- Experience with frameworks used for larger web applications, for example NextJS or similar stacks.
- Experience in scaling React based platforms across multiple teams, with shared components, tooling and standards.
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership for web work that touches the Zable website, setting the direction for how we design and build React and TypeScript front ends across SuperApp teams.
- Work with product managers and designers to turn ideas and high level goals into clear, deliverable web projects, breaking them into stages that multiple engineers and teams can own.
- Design and review front end architecture and patterns for the Zable website, helping the team choose sensible abstractions, manage complexity and keep the codebase healthy as it grows.
- Guide the way we approach testing and quality for Zable web journeys by setting expectations for unit, integration and end to end tests, and by helping the team keep them stable and useful.
- Lead efforts to improve performance, reliability and accessibility on the Zable website, using metrics and tools such as Sentry or Datadog to spot issues and working with others to address them.
- Identify and communicate technical debt and platform risks, and work with engineering managers and product partners to balance new feature work with necessary code and architecture improvements.
- Mentor and support other engineers through design discussions, code reviews and pairing, so that more people in the group can confidently own complex work.
- Collaborate with other technical leads in SuperApp and related areas to align on shared standards and to coordinate cross team initiatives that improve the wider platform.
