Your Role at Yuki

As our Frontend Lead, your mission is to organise and unify our frontend efforts: leading the consolidation of our stack onto Vue 3 as our standard, raising the bar on architecture and UX, and bringing a team of talented engineers along with you.

Today our frontend lives across multiple teams on a mix of technologies. You'll set the technical direction, own the environment for our chosen stack, and help the wider organisation make better, cost-aware technology decisions. You'll lead a team of 6 to 7 engineers of mixed seniority and backgrounds, guiding and mentoring them.

• Set the direction: Lead the consolidation onto Vue 3 and define the architecture, patterns, and design system the whole frontend builds on.

• Own the standard: Maintain and evolve the environment for our chosen stack, and champion SOLID principles, clean code, and testability across the team.

• Guide the trade-offs: Weigh technical cost and benefit, and help management make better technical decisions with clear, well-presented reasoning.

• Lead the team: Coach and align a mixed-seniority team, spot bad practices before they spread, and turn past mistakes into better ways of working.

• Build with AI: Set the standard AI-assisted development (Claude Code, Cursor) across the frontend team.

Job Requirements

• 7+ years of frontend experience, including at least 2 years in a lead role with a track record of presenting and delivering projects.

• Deep expertise in Vue (ideally Vue 3) and TypeScript, with strong architecture, code-management, and design-system skills.

• Real AI fluency and experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor).

• You speak about success in terms of "we," give clear direction, and can spot bad architecture, hard-to-test code, and poor separation of concerns, then fix them.

• Ideally, you have a SaaS experience in a mid-size company.

• Fluent English is a must.

Very Important: What's in It for You

At Yuki, we believe in empowering our team so they can empower our users. Here’s what we offer:
