The role

We’re looking for a Fullstack Engineering Team Lead to lead an established frontend team with responsibility for a key client-facing product within Netcraft’s portfolio. The project includes a modern JS-based web application and several supporting Golang APIs developed and managed by the team. You’ll be a technical leader with expertise across this stack, with the commercial acumen to understand how to manage delivery in an agile context. You will lead a high-impact group of engineers from the front, contributing code, demonstrating best practice, and managing an exciting delivery roadmap.

You’ll be:

• Working with product and design colleagues to assimilate feature delivery into a comprehensive and compelling roadmap against which your team can execute;
• Used to acting with autonomy, taking the initiative to solve problems and recognising the importance of adhering to demanding delivery timelines;
• Managing requirements from prominent stakeholders and customers;
• Prioritising, refining and sequencing the team’s workflow while retaining a significant proportion of your time for individual contribution;
• Deeply embedded in conceiving and executing engineering solutions, creating performant systems and services to delight our customers;
• Upholding high engineering standards with a demonstrable commitment to code quality, a test-driven approach and a modern continuous integration/continuous deployment delivery flow;
• Well-versed in how AI-first development techniques can materially boost productivity; and
• Responsible for maintaining and managing a performant team of talented and enthusiastic engineers.

What you’ll need to be successful

• Strong and demonstrable leadership skills, with a constructive attitude to problem solving and the ability to context switch;
• Distinguished engineering background across all aspects of the modern Javascript ecosystem, including Typescript, NextJS, Tailwind CSS, Vite, Tanstack Query and Playwright;
• A demonstrable track record of taking projects to production;
• Experience working with AWS in a Kubernetes-based deployment environment;
• Interest in optimising the Software Development Life Cycle;
• Excellent communication skills - the ability to distil technical ideas to stakeholders and motivate a team;
• Experience leading, developing and mentoring engineers; and
• Experience interviewing and hiring engineers and building effective teams through continual improvement.

Bonus points if you have:

• A history of successfully creating and delivering both greenfield and brownfield projects;
• Strong Golang development skills, particularly in backend-for-frontend services; and
• Experience working with or supporting front-end design systems, especially with component libraries like Storybook.
