The role
We are looking to hire an Engineering Lead. As a leader within the team, you are both a technical SME as well as a people leader. You are happy to get ‘on the tools’ bringing your experience building robust, scalable, and maintainable front-end architecture as we evolve our technology. You’re also able to lead; able to ‘be Frank’, coaching and mentoring those you manage and those in your squad to improve continuously
In this role, you will report to the Director of Engineering, who has significant front-end experience and relates to the challenges that front-end engineers face.
Your ticket to success:
Inspire others. You take great pride in your work, have an eye for detail, and inspire others to do the same. You can manage the design, seek the team’s input, and celebrate your shared success. You coach and mentor junior members of the team, peer-reviewing their work and supporting their development by sharing your knowledge and experience.
Design with quality. You can take a step back from the details, seek to understand the bigger picture and drive appropriate architecture and technology choices. The quality of your work is at the highest level and you’re able to review others' work to ensure it is of the same caliber.
Collaborate. You are an active participant in our regular scrum rituals. You communicate well and can work harmoniously alongside both product, other engineers, and QA - identifying areas for automation and supporting testing when required.
Be proactive. Your input and innovation are vital to ensure continuous improvement. You proactively identify areas that need modifying / could be improved across the service and technology stack and drive improvements.
Be an advocate. For FrankieOne, for our product, and our values.
