Lead Web Engineer

Requirements

• You've built and shipped production web applications end-to-end, from static sites to complex SPAs, and you know where the real problems hide in each
• You've made major architectural bets and stayed long enough to learn whether they were right
• Proven experience with cross-project infrastructure: shared component libraries, CI/CD pipelines, monorepo setups, deployment automation
• Strong understanding of web security, performance optimization, and browser capabilities
• You have a sharp eye for detail, from pixel-perfect implementation to clean, consistent code
• You use AI-agentic development tools daily (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) and know how to steer them effectively, including when to trust the output
• You've set up and maintained CI/CD, testing strategies, and developer tooling for teams, not just yourself

Our Current Tech Stack

• Languages & frameworks: TypeScript, React, React Router, Next.js (being phased out), SCSS
• Modules, Astro
• Bundling: Vite
• Design: Figma
• AI-agentic development: Claude Code with custom plugin (open to exploring alternatives)
• Infrastructure: Cloudflare, Railway
• APIs: GraphQL

Working Style

• You care deeply about user experience. You pay close attention to the details and take pride in getting them right
• You think in systems, not screens. You care about how projects share infrastructure, how deployments stay safe, and how other developers will understand what you built
• You're excited about enabling non-engineers to ship software and know how to make that safe through good tooling and guardrails
• You're comfortable making decisions when not all the information is there yet
• You thrive in a fully remote, async-first team and know how to communicate clearly without meetings for everything
• You're as open to different ideas, opinions, and to people with different cultures, backgrounds, and interests as we are

• Fully remote, from anywhere in the world & live as a digital nomad if you want to (the country list above are just examples)
• Flexible hours, startup atmosphere
• Most of the team is in Europe and Southeast Asia, with a few hours of daily overlap around German business hours
• Company-issued and managed MacBook, plus a desk in your favorite co-working space
