Our client is a rapidly growing Latvian-founded technology company operating in the US market. Following a period of strong business growth, the company is investing heavily in its technology organization and preparing for its next stage of expansion.
As the engineering team continues to grow, they are looking for an Senior Front-End who will help shape engineering culture, build high-performing autonomous teams, and create the processes needed to scale efficiently while maintaining startup agility.
About the role
The core mission here is leading the platform's migration from Webflow to Astro and Sanity CMS, while building a robust design system that works as a standalone package, usable by platform engineers, by designers building landing pages, and by anyone else creating presentations. The groundwork exists; your job is to make it production-grade.
You will work in a team where radical autonomy and bottom-up ownership are the default. A key part of this role is bridging the gap between vibe-coding designers, who work with AI tools and move fast and the engineering team, without slowing either side down.
What you will do:
- Lead the migration from Webflow to Astro and Sanity CMS
- Build and own the design system as a reusable package across the whole platform
- Mentor designers (Vibe/AI tool users) in preparing production-ready code
- Bridge communication between the design and engineering teams
- Set up and maintain the tooling harness for designers (Storybook, CMS, etc.)
- Drive the adoption of agentic frontend approaches across the platform
Tech competences:
- Strong hands-on experience with React.js / Node.js / TypeScript
- Proven track record building and maintaining design systems
- Solid understanding of AI/Vibe coding tools and how to bring their output up to production standards
Nice to have: broader practical experience working with AI engineering tools
Soft skills:
- Product engineering mindset - you think in outcomes, not tasks
- Takes ownership, adapts fast, and is comfortable with ambiguity
- Confident and self-assured - someone who backs their decisions
- Energized by mentoring and by lifting others' output
- Comfortable in a startup environment where things change quickly
- A public presence that shows some personality - an active LinkedIn, a side project, anything that signals you back yourself
