Overview

Lead Frontend Engineer | Next.js / React

Sydney - Hybrid

$180k - $200k + super

Are you ready to step into a role where you’ll shape and lead the build of a brand-new, large-scale platform on modern tech. No legacy headaches, just the opportunity to architect, influence, and deliver a React/Next.js solution that will be used by millions of customers across Australia.

You’ll be joining a high-performing, values-driven engineering organisation that’s investing heavily in technology transformation. The business is moving from a legacy platform to a modern, decoupled architecture and you’ll play a central role in shaping that future from the frontend perspective. You’ll partner with the Head of Engineering, CIO and Design System Lead and collaborate with senior product leaders, and guide a distributed team of talented engineers. Together, you’ll create an environment that thrives on collaboration, quality, and speed.

This is more than just a leadership role, it’s an opportunity to make your mark on a platform that’s critical to the growth of a home-grown Aussie brand. In the long term, your success will be measured by the scalability of the systems you design, the engineering culture you shape, and the impact you have on both customers and the wider business.

What impact will I make?

- Own the technical direction for a greenfield React/Next.js platform that underpins a high-growth online business.

- Set engineering standards across multiple squads, influencing how modern frontend systems are delivered at scale.

- Partner with senior stakeholders, including C-level leaders, ensuring technical decisions drive both performance and business results.

- Mentor and grow engineers, ensuring consistency, speed, and quality across local and offshore teams.

What’s in it for me?

- Greenfield challenge - Architect and build without legacy constraints.

- Leadership scope - Mentor engineers, shape engineering culture, and have a voice at the top table.

- Strategic influence - Your decisions will directly impact millions of users and the future of the platform.

- Supportive culture - Join a team that values diversity, inclusion, wellbeing, and continuous growth.

What does success look like?

- A scalable, high-performance frontend platform built with React/Next.js that becomes the benchmark for future builds.

- Clear engineering practices that raise the bar across squads and create alignment across the organisation.

- Strong collaboration with senior leadership and product teams, delivering a roadmap that blends innovation with commercial impact.

- An empowered, motivated engineering team that thrives under your guidance and consistently delivers at pace.

If you’re passionate about building at scale and want a role where your leadership makes a lasting impact, this is the opportunity to make your mark. Apply here or reach out to Jon Holland on LinkedIn.
