WHAT YOU WILL DO:

- Take ownership of the end-to-end process, from architecture and design to development, deployment, and continuous operation of solutions crafted by your team of developers.

- Lead, grow, and hire the team: meaningful 1:1s, growth plans, regular performance evaluations and constructive feedback sessions - while keeping the hiring bar high by interviewing candidates yourself.

- Actively participate in planning, estimation, and roadmap discussions, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives.

- Collaborate closely with the Head of Product, Product Managers, Tech-Lead, and Marketing to facilitate the timely delivery of initiatives, emphasizing a balance between innovation and efficiency.

- Own delivery discipline: predictable execution, fast release cycles (preview environments, CI/CD), and a backlog that shrinks instead of grows.

- Drive web performance and technical SEO as first-class engineering goals - Core Web Vitals, edge caching, SSR/hreflang for 30+ locales, code splitting, lazy hydration.

- Run experimentation together with product and marketing: A/B testing infrastructure, analytics (GA4/Amplitude), and CRO work measured in conversion - not story points.

- Assume responsibility for the stability and reliability of the product, implementing observability measures (Sentry, Prometheus/Grafana) to enhance performance and user experience.

- Conduct thorough code reviews, ensuring adherence to efficient code engineering practices and maintaining a high standard of code quality - and stay hands-on in the codebase yourself.

- Accelerate AI adoption in the team: agentic coding workflows, AI-assisted tooling, and LLM-powered product features, drive Websites AI-readiness initiatives forward.

- Cultivate a collaborative environment that encourages teamwork and knowledge sharing, leveraging the diverse skills within the team.

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

- You are a self-starter who is not afraid to challenge the status quo.

- Leadership experience, either as a team lead or manager - hiring, mentoring, and performance management included.

- A track record of improving team delivery: throughput, predictability, or time-to-ship on a previous team.

- Experience with high-traffic, multi-locale consumer web products - landing pages, website builders, e-commerce, or content platforms.

- Extensive JavaScript/TypeScript experience and strong knowledge of at least one modern framework (bonus points for Vue and Nuxt with SSR).

- Strong understanding of app state management (Redux, NgRx, bonus points for Vuex and Pinia).

- Fluency in web performance (Core Web Vitals), technical SEO, and analytics/experimentation tooling (GA4, Amplitude, A/B testing).

- Strong understanding and experience in designing system architectures.

- Experience in HTML5, CSS3, SASS, and the Git versioning system.

- Understanding of proper code design, unit testing, and end-to-end testing practices and tools.

- Hands-on daily use of AI/agentic engineering tools and eagerness to spread those practices.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders.

- Business-impact mindset - you talk in conversion, revenue, and user outcomes.

- Team-spirited, proactive, and able to work in a fast-paced environment.

- “Embracing the unknown” is a concept that doesn’t intimidate you.

- Bonus: backend/full-stack competence (Node.js/NestJS), infrastructure literacy (Kubernetes, Terraform, GCP/AWS, Cloudflare), or experience building LLM-powered features.
