Take frontend architecture off the CTO and own it, on a product where real time collaboration meets very large datasets.
The role
This company builds planning and analytics software used by global apparel and retail brands to decide what they make, buy and range each season.
Engineering is seven people, five of them on the frontend and all mid to senior.
There is no frontend technical leadership today, so the CTO is carrying it.
You would own direction for the React and Redux codebase while still shipping code.
Near term work includes folding a standalone product back into the main app and rebuilding the forecasting engine so it scales.
About you
You have owned client side state and rendering architecture at data density: collaborative editing, virtualised grids, or datasets in the hundreds of thousands of rows
5+ years React and TypeScript, commercial Redux,



and real opinions about store architecture
Still writing production code, and you want to keep it that way
You have set standards across a team of peers, code review, testing or delivery practice, and made them stick
You work directly with product and design rather than taking tickets
Sydney based with full working rights
The offer
***** hybrid working in Sydney after initial onboarding
Permanent, with technical ownership at principal level.
A team small enough that your decisions show up in the product quickly
AI tooling is used across the team, with explicit rules, and never at the expense of quality
Tight-knit engineering group that values thoughtful engineering, learning and collaboration
