Lead Frontend Developer

Lead Frontend Developer

Dyflexis, Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

We build HR tech for non-desk workers. Managers who lead teams in hotels, retail, and logistics trust us to make their jobs easier. We're 100+ people across the globe with 45 engineers, launching new products to become the global standard. We need a Lead Frontend Developer to help build a team of 12 engineers and ship new products as we scale across Europe and enter the US.

This is more than a lead role, it’s your chance to shape the frontend foundation for our next chapter. The decisions you make in the next 6‑12 months will shape how we scale.

No 2‑week sprints, no ticket‑chasing, no scrum theatre. We work in focused 6‑week cycles: a deliberate post‑scrum method built for builders. You’ll get time and trust to do things properly: to think, craft, ship, and refine without chaos. You’ll earn up to €8,000 per month, work hybrid (2 days a week at our HQ), and join a bootstrapped company that’s profitable and reinvesting heavily in its products and people.

No VC pressure, no corporate noise. Just autonomy, impact, and a culture where we win together, have each other’s backs, and celebrate as a team.

As Lead Frontend Developer, you'll define our frontend strategy, hire, guide and enable 6 engineers that makes our platform the new industry standard. You’ll work directly with our Product Designers, Engineering Manager, and CEO to improve the experience of workforce management software. Around here, focus isn’t a luxury, it’s how we win. Our leads code as fanatically as anyone on the team and expect you to pick things up as you go: to fix problems before they become Jira tickets, solve architectural issues before they become technical debt, and build systems that don't need band aids.

You’ll have autonomy to make impactful decisions, access to the resources you need and direct influence over why, what, and how we code.

• Define the frontend architecture and technical standards for multi‑market deployment
• Coach, hire and grow a team of 12 frontend developers, including code reviews and driving the adoption of best practices
• Guide the implementation of engagement tools, e‑learning systems, and top‑notch integrations
• Make technology decisions that balance current needs with scalability
• Partner with Product and Design to deliver the features that users need most

Vue.js 3, Ionic, Docker, and Git Lab CI/CD, React, modern tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized deployments. Plus whatever tooling you introduce.

You’ve spent 7+ years building production frontend applications and have led teams through complex technical challenges. You know Vue.js 3 intimately. You’ve made architectural decisions that scaled, hired engineers who thrived, and shipped code that users trusted. You care about quality code, not just the number of closed tickets. You’re comfortable with ownership and thrive when building from the ground up, valuing team wins over individual heroics.

You don’t solve problems – you nip them in the bud. You pick things up as you go, fixing issues before they scale and spotting patterns before they become anti‑patterns.

You’ll earn up to €8,000 per month, work hybrid (2 days/week at our HQ), and join a bootstrapped company that's profitable and reinvesting aggressively in its products and people. No VC pressure, no corporate bloat, no bureaucratic quagmire. You’ll work on systems serving renowned brands, leveraging a modern stack in a post‑scrum environment that values focus.

• Big clients: every line of code has impact
• An in‑house chef, ARJ Boxing gym membership, and a solid pension plan
• 25 vacation days + your birthday off
• 8% vacation pay, option to buy/sell vacation days

We have 5 frontend positions to fill and a product roadmap ready to ship. You'll set the frontend standards, build the team and ship the products that scale us across Europe and into the US.
