Head of Front-End Engineering

Head of Front-End Engineering | Scale-Up AI Fintech

We’re partnering with a fast-growing Series B fintech using cutting-edge AI. Following rapid organic growth, they are scaling their engineering organisation and seeking an experienced Head of Front-End Engineering to establish structure, elevate standards, and develop their front-end capabilities without slowing down pace.

This Head of Front-End Engineeringrole sits above existing Team Leads, reporting directly into the VP of Engineering. You’ll be instrumental in shaping how the function scales, bringing a blend of people leadership and team development to build a high-performing front-end engineering layer.

What you'll be doing as an Head of Front-End Engineering:

• People Leadership: Develop a team of Team Leads (who each manage their own direct reports).
• Technical Direction: Set architectural vision, design standards, and best practices across a React and TypeScript stack.
• Delivery & Operations: Drive engineering excellence, quality, and cadence using operational metrics to spot bottlenecks early.
• AI Integration: Champion the adoption of modern AI development tools (like Claude, Cursor, and Bugbot) across the front-end workflow.

Requirements for Head of Front-End Engineering:

• Proven People Management: Demonstrated experience leading, coaching, and mentoring other engineering leads.
• Architectural Credibility: Ability to propose, articulate, and align senior engineering stakeholders on core technical decisions.
• Culture & Standards: Track record of elevating engineering quality, delivery practices, and team culture in growth environments.

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape how modern AI workflows and tools are integrated into engineering, and a chance to work side-by-side with the VP of Engineering to guide a scaling engineering org through its next phase of growth.
