Frontend Lead Engineer

The world is changing in the way we consume products, from ownership to usership, and DigitalRoute is positioned in the centre of the transition. Because, when enterprises pivot to usage-based business models, they often make an unfortunate discovery. Their systems weren't built to handle the massive data volumes and complexity that usage-based models generate. This causes them to leak revenue and respond too slowly to customer demand. DigitalRoute solves this by creating a real-time usage data layer for enterprises. Our products transform raw usage data into clear information for billing, in real time and at high scale.
As the Frontend Lead Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in guiding the frontend development of our cloud service, ensuring scalability, performance, and maintainability. You will collaborate closely with several teams, including design, PM/PO and engineering, to translate business requirements into frontend solutions. Your expertise in frontend technologies and architectural design for high-performing SaaS products will be instrumental in helping us stay ahead and have a competitive edge in the market.
What you'll do

• Continuously assess the state of our SaaS frontend to form well-founded opinions.
• Engage with PM/PO, engineering teams, the UX team and the CTO team to gather and understand feedback, needs and priorities.
• Create a vision, establish a plan, define steps and coach others to understand the benefits of what you suggest.
• Lead the design and implementation of a scalable, high-performing frontend architecture. This includes deep collaboration with architects, Lead Engineers and QA automation specialists, where you will also influence priorities.
• Establish best practices, and architectural guidelines to ensure consistency and maintainability of the frontend.
• Provide guidance to developers to ensure adherence to architectural standards and best practices.
• Stay updated on emerging frontend technologies, trends and best practices. Advocate for their adoption where applicable.
• Work closely with all engineering teams and their managers to integrate frontend components with backend services and APIs.

What you'll bring
