Senior/Lead Frontend Engineer for SaaS Product (Vue)

We're entering a new chapter in our tech stack and seeking a frontend lead with a mastery of architecture who wants ownership of a project they can be proud of.

Our goal is to migrate from Ember to Vue 3 using a micro-frontend approach. As our lead, you will collaborate with our senior devs to plan and build our new architecture, playing a key role in shaping the future of our product's frontend 🚀
 

The ideal candidate has deep TypeScript expertise, clear perspective on architecture, and a hands-on approach. We have a team of senior devs, so there will be limited management or mentoring responsibilities.

Requirements:
 

• Experience as a Lead Frontend Developer on a product team, including setting coding standards, reviewing code, and owning technical decisions
• 3+ years working with Vue in production, including at least 2 years working with Vue 3
• Experience designing and implementing scalable Vue 3 architecture for high-traffic SaaS applications, with focus on modular components, state management, and maintainability
• Expert-level TypeScript skills, including advanced typing, generics, and enforcing type safety across the stack
• Hands-on experience with modern frontend tooling: build systems (Vite/Webpack), automated testing (Jest/Vitest, Cypress), linting, and performance profiling
• Solid understanding of Git workflows in a team setting: feature branching, code reviews, conflict resolution, and CI/CD integration
• Strong communication skills in English

Nice to have:

• Successful track record migrating a legacy frontend to Vue
• Experience with micro-frontend architecture
• Contributions to open-source projects
• Exposure to multiple modern JS frameworks

What you'll do:
 

• Collaborate with senior developers to plan architecture and set coding standards
• Work closely with product, design, and backend to deliver a cohesive product
• Lead and contribute to the incremental migration from Ember to Vue 3
• Participate in code reviews and uphold a culture of continuous improvement
• Apply AI tools that improve development speed without sacrificing quality
• Pretend to laugh at the boss’s terrible jokes
