I am delighted to be working with an existing client that is looking for a key hire to join their engineering team as the Principal Frontend Tech Lead. My client is an AI Series-backed start-up that has scaled their engineering team whilst maintaining a fantastic work environment and culture, and providing a supportive and clear career progression platform. This is a hybrid role in London, 1-2 days a week, alongside the existing Engineering Team. You can expect a salary in the region of 100-125k plus an amazing package including annual salary reviews, learning & development budget, health/medical and more.
As the Principal Frontend Technical Lead in this role, you will work a 70/30 split of leadership, architecture, development and team growth vs hands-on programming.

Be responsible for the team's technical delivery and working with other engineering teams, manage the technical direction and operations/strategy around frontend architecture system design, tooling and more, ensuring quality and delivery is on time.
