Lead Frontend Engineer - Climate Tech - London / Cambridge
Take ownership of front-end engineering at a growing climate-tech company shaping the future of energy planning. You’ll lead the move from a monolithic UI to a modern micro-frontend architecture - while building a high-quality engineering culture from the ground up.
This role is hands-on. You’ll work directly with the CTO, steer architectural decisions, and mentor a growing team. If you enjoy solving complex front-end challenges, scaling modern React systems, and building high-performance data and geospatial visualisations, this is an opportunity to lead with impact.
What you’ll lead:
- The migration to a micro-frontend architecture
- The creation of a reusable design system + component library
- High-performance geospatial visualisation (DeckGL, WebGL)
- Front-end standards: TypeScript excellence, testing, CI/CD, performance
- Observability: error tracking, user insights, runtime metrics
- Mentoring front-end engineers + shaping team culture
What you bring:
- Expert React + TypeScript (4+ years), 2+ years leading engineers
- Strong architecture background — ideally micro-frontends
- Experience with complex data visualisation or geospatial tools (DeckGL/Mapbox)
- Knowledge of modern bundlers (Vite, Webpack, esbuild)
- Focus on performance, modularity, and scalable front-end systems
Nice to have:
- Micro-frontend patterns (Module Federation, single-spa)
- WebGL, real-time dashboards, scenario modelling
- D3/Plotly/Recharts, AWS, testing frameworks
