Frontend (Full-Stack) Engineering Lead
Equal Parts
$105k-$175k · 0.01%-0.05% Equity We have a product team that understands our users deeply — the agents, the workflows, the edge cases, the moments that matter. They know what needs to be built. What they don't have is a high efficiency path from that understanding to a polished, production-grade frontend experience. That’s what this role solves. You'll lead frontend engineering for the platform by setting the technical direction, owning quality and CI/CD, and building the processes and guardrails that let product-minded people translate domain expertise directly into frontend features. You will also own our "Sandbox" middleware (Express/Postgres) that powers rapid feature iteration along side backend engineering. The goal isn't to centralize frontend development in one person it's to democratize it, putting the build capability in the hands of the people closest to the problem. You bring serious frontend chops. Not to write every feature yourself, but to set a bar that's high enough to matter and build the scaffolding, guardrails, and tooling that pulls everyone else up to it. What You’ll Own Technical Leadership & Governance - Architecture Standards: Set and enforce frontend standards, defining the patterns and conventions that make the codebase coherent as it scales. - Component Strategy: Design and maintain a high-integrity component library (Storybook/Shadcn) that serves as the visual source of truth. - Sandbox Stewardship: Act as the architect of the environment where others play, ensuring the sandbox remains a stable and productive workspace. Developer Enablement (The "Force Multiplier") - Scaffolding: Build the templates, documented workflows, and reusable primitives that allow non-engineers to contribute confidently. - Agentic Guardrails: Design the "safety net" (custom linters, strict TypeScript patterns, and PR checks) that ensures code generated via Replit, Cursor, or ClaudeCode meets production standards. - Floor & Ceiling: Focus on "lowering the floor" for contributors without "lowering the ceiling" for the platform's potential. Sandbox & Middleware Management - The "Fast Path": Manage the sandbox stack used for rapid feature testing and validation. - API Development: Own the API layer and schema changes required to ship frontend features independently. - Backend Partnership: Lean on our core backend team for deep infrastructure while remaining the primary owner of the "Feature BE" lifecycle. High-Complexity Engineering - Data Lifecycle & State: Architect sophisticated data-fetching and caching strategies (e.g., TanStack Query) to ensure the UI is always snappy and consistent. - Performance at Scale: Manage global state and distributed caching (e.g., ElastiCache/Redis) to minimize latency and prevent unnecessary database load. - Asynchronous Orchestration: Design the logic for long-running job management and real-time updates, ensuring the UI handles complex backend processes gracefully. - System Integrity: Own the "plumbing" that connects the UI to our backend services, ensuring data remains a robust source of truth. Quality, CI/CD & Visual Regression - Path to Production: Own the merge process, ensuring nothing hits production without passing the bar you set. - Automated Validation: Implement regression testing and rollback strategies to prevent "UI drift" or broken workflows in a multi-contributor environment. - Environment Management: Manage the transition of features from the Sandbox into the production-grade frontend.
Job Requirements
- You’re a Fit If...
- You are a Frontend specialist who is "Full-Stack capable." You love the UI, but you aren't afraid to dive into an Express route or an Aurora schema to get the job done.
- You view Developer Experience (DX) as a product. You get genuine satisfaction from building tools that make others faster and more capable.
- You are "AI-Native" in your thinking. You aren't threatened by non-technical users using AI agents; you are excited to build the infrastructure that makes that workflow safe and scalable.
- You have deep React/TypeScript expertise. You understand the difference between a "working" UI and a "resilient" one.
- You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You can explain why a pattern matters to someone who isn't a coder.
- Ownership of a platform, not just a feature list, is what excites you.
- The Stack
- Frontend: Vite, React 18, Wouter, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, Zod
- Middleware "Fast Path": Express.js, Node.js, Amazon Aurora (PostgreSQL), Websockets
- Infrastructure: AWS Amplify/Cognito, AppSyncEvents/GraphQL, OpenAPI
- Reliability: Storybook, Playwright/Cypress, Vitest, jest-dom, Visual Regression tools, GitHub workflows

We're looking for a Head of Engineering who's already been the senior technical person at a small startup — writing code, making architecture calls, and keeping founders in the loop without being asked. You'll own engineering fully — the team, the delivery, the architecture, the quality bar, and the overall engineering state of the company. This is not a coordination role. You'll write production code daily on the hardest problems: AI agents, MCP infrastructure, forecasting systems, and financial analytics. You'll be the person who says what's doable, shapes scope, and decides how the team works. The team is 4 engineers, 1 QA, and 1 Product Owner. The direction is set — we're looking for someone to run the room. If that matches your experience, let's talk. What are your responsibilities? - Build and maintain the forecasting agent and financial analytics platform - Develop MCPs and the agent orchestration layer - Own dashboards, access controls, and reporting infrastructure - Build the AI coding culture across the team — by example, not by policy - Drive end-to-end engineering delivery: planning, estimation, and accountability - Own technical architecture across the full stack and AI layer - Negotiate and control scope — before it reaches the team - Maintain code quality, CI/CD, automated testing, and deployments - Run 1:1s, give feedback, and support engineer growth - Lead hiring as the team scales - Send engineering reports proactively — blockers, throughput, what changed, and why - Translate technical constraints into business language for founders and non-technical stakeholders What are the preferred requirements for the role? - 5+ years of engineering experience, 2+ years as Tech Lead or Head of Engineering at a startup under 50 people — still writing code daily - TypeScript / Node.js · React, ideally NestJS knowledge - Shipped AI in production: LLM integration / RAG, agents, MCP — real users, not demos - Daily AI tooling: Claude Code, Cursor, Augment, or equivalent - People leadership experience: 1:1s, feedback, hiring - B2B SaaS experience, preferably in fintech or a data-heavy domain - Clear and proactive communication with C-level executives - C1 English Good to have: - Financial API integrations: QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, or similar - FP&A domain: P&L, forecasting, budget vs. actuals - Side projects or open source built with AI tooling - Experience with MCPs and agent orchestration Reporting Structure: reporting to the CEO Recruitment Process: - Recruiter interview - Tech fit & live coding session with Fuel engineers - System Design and Behavioural interview with Fractional CTO - Culture fit interview with the CEO Why work with us? - You'll own engineering fully — not inherit someone else's decisions - Work on real AI: production agents, MCP infrastructure, financial intelligence that SMBs actually depend on - Small team, high trust — no politics, no layers, no meaningless meetings - Competitive salary + equity - Freedom to define how engineering works — tooling, process, standards are yours to set - Flexible schedule and async-friendly culture - 18 days paid vacation per year + paid sick leave - You'll see the impact of your work directly — in the product, in the team, and in the businesses we serve
