Technical Lead II, Frontend - Messaging Strategy

Requirements

• Deep frontend engineering experience (typically 7+ years) building complex, user-facing web applications with technologies like React, TypeScript and modern JS tooling, ideally at SaaS scale.
• A proven track record as a technical lead or senior engineer leading at least 2–3 medium-to-large projects from design through production, with clear customer or business impact.
• Strong system design and architectural skills in the frontend, with the ability to break down ambiguous product problems, design clear interfaces and boundaries and make pragmatic trade-offs between speed and robustness.
• Experience leading a small team or pod as a player-coach, setting direction, coordinating work and helping others grow while still contributing meaningfully to the codebase.
• A strong sense of ownership over reliability and quality. You’re comfortable digging into performance issues, production incidents and test flakiness and driving them to resolution.
• Excellent cross functional communication skills with the ability to explain technical decisions to engineers and non-engineers, write clear documentation and drive alignment across teams and time zones.
• A customer- and product-oriented mindset. You’re motivated by improving marketers' real workflows (not just shipping features) and you use data and feedback to inform decisions.

Nice to Have

• Experience in marketing technology, messaging, or communications products (email, SMS, WhatsApp, or similar).
• Background working on large-scale, multi-surface products where multiple UIs share libraries, design systems and infrastructure.
• Experience with performance optimization (bundle size, lazy loading, caching strategies) and service maturity / SLO-driven development.
• Comfort working in environments with experimentation and AI-powered workflows, or interest in learning quickly in this space.
• Prior experience in mentoring and developing senior engineers and in collaborating closely with EMs/TLs on promotions, feedback and growth plans.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead a high-impact frontend team building and evolving core Marketing Email and SMS management experiences.
• Contribute high-quality React/TypeScript code while guiding architectural decisions, reviewing designs, and unblocking others.
• Own technical strategy for the team’s frontend surface area, including modular architecture, design system usage, and cross-app/library boundaries across Messaging.
• Partner in the leadership triad to set goals, sequence work, and make trade-offs.
• Drive medium-to-large, multi-quarter initiatives end-to-end, from problem definition to implementation and rollout.
• Champion reliability and service maturity for frontend applications.
• Mentor and grow engineers on the team through design reviews, code reviews, pairing, and 1:1s.
• Collaborate closely with backend and infra teams to design reliable solutions that scale across channels.
• Help define and uphold engineering best practices.
• Play an active role in hiring and onboarding new engineers.
