Areti Group – Carbon Positive Tech Recruitment | People & Planet Before Profit

This is a front-end–first leadership role.

You’ll lead a cross-functional product engineering team, with your primary focus on:

• Usability, performance, and maintainability at scale

You’ll still collaborate closely with backend engineers, but your ownership sits firmly on the UI and client-side experience.

Teams may focus on:

• New front-end modules and workflows
• Performance optimisation and UX refinement
• Design system evolution and component architecture

Focus areas rotate annually, offering long‑term growth and variety.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and coach 2–6 front‑end / full‑stack engineers
• Own front‑end technical direction, architecture, and standards
• Partner with Product and Design to shape feature scope and UX
• Build, test, and ship high‑quality, user‑facing features
• Break down complex UI challenges into clear, deliverable work
• Influence backend API design to support excellent front‑end experiences
• Stay hands‑on with code, especially while teams are scaling
• Help interview and hire senior front‑end engineers
• Champion accessibility, performance, and usability best practices

Tech Stack (Front-End Focus)

We’re looking for strong front‑end engineers who can lead technically.

• SPA state management and component architecture

Supporting stack (you’ll collaborate closely, not own alone):

Experience with large, complex, data‑heavy interfaces is a major plus.

About You

Leadership titles aren’t required - front‑end leadership behaviours are.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Are a senior front‑end or UI‑focused full‑stack engineer
• Have led technical direction for SPAs or front‑end platforms
• Enjoy mentoring engineers and raising the bar on UI quality
• Care deeply about usability, clarity, and performance
• Can challenge assumptions constructively and ask the “awkward” questions kindly
• Want to build software that people genuinely enjoy using

What You’ll Get

• £1,000+ annual learning & development budget
• 33 days holiday, rising to 40
• 4‑week paid sabbatical after 5 years
• Innovation Weeks (twice per year)
• 20 hours paid volunteering time
• Monthly team social time (in‑person & virtual)
• A genuinely kind, ambitious, and collaborative engineering culture
• Remote‑first across the UK
• Optional collaboration days in the office
• Flexible working hours (37.5‑hour week)
• No mandated office days - trust and outcomes matter most
