About the ConnectMe Platform
ConnectMe – a real-time customer care application used by contact centre teams to handle high volumes of customer interactions across voice and chat.
The platform brings real-time chat, real-time calls, and a full queue system into a single workspace, giving agents and supervisors everything they need to deliver responsive customer service.
What users do with it:
Handle real-time chat conversations and inbound and outbound calls in one interface
Work queued interactions through a routing and queue management system
Record calls and review them afterwards
Manage voicemail, including live voicemail, without leaving the application
What makes the engineering work interesting:
Micro-frontend architecture a single-spa shell hosts a large fleet of independently developed, independently deployable micro-frontends we call plugins — new capabilities don’t touch the core shell
Modern React stack built in React with TypeScript end to end
Module Federation adopting Webpack Module Federation is our next major architectural step — a great moment to join and help shape the direction
Real-time everywhere live chat, calls, queue state, and call recording are all driven by real-time data
Shared design system a styled-components base extended into our own in-house component library, used consistently across every plugin
As a Frontend Tech Lead, you will provide hands-on technical leadership to a frontend team while actively contributing as a senior frontend developer on a complex, high-scale customer care platform.
You will set the technical direction for the frontend, guide architectural decisions, and build critical parts of the system yourself, ensuring the team delivers reliable, scalable, and high-quality software aligned with Dstny’s engineering standards.
Working closely with Engineering Management, Architects, Product Managers, Product Owners, the QA team, designers, and other frontend teams, you will translate business goals into clear technical plans and executable work — and make sure cross-cutting changes are aligned with everyone they affect.
This is not a purely coordinating role — you are expected to lead by example through code, contribute where it creates the most impact, and elevate the technical capability of the team through both delivery and guidance.
The role does not carry formal people-management responsibility. It relies instead on technical credibility, clear communication, mentoring, and sound judgement — leading delivery through influence rather than authority.
Requirements
Proven experience as a frontend Tech Lead with strong hands-on coding responsibilities
Extensive experience with React and TypeScript in production applications
Strong understanding of micro-frontend architecture and scalable frontend system design
Experience with styled-components or similar CSS-in-JS solutions, and with building or maintaining shared component libraries
Strong understanding of component-based development, frontend performance, routing, API integration, and state management
Solid grasp of accessibility, responsive design, and frontend testing
Practical experience with CI/CD pipelines and Git-based development workflows
A self-sufficient, hands-on engineer who consistently looks for ways to improve the codebase
Strong critical thinking and the ability to make and clearly communicate technical trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to Have
Experience with single-spa or other micro-frontend orchestration frameworks
Experience with Webpack Module Federation
Familiarity with React Query, Redux, Zustand, or similar state and data-management tools
Experience with monorepos and shared frontend package structures
Experience with authentication flows such as OAuth2 or OIDC
Experience with frontend observability — logging, tracing, monitoring, or performance analytics
Experience working with AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar agents
Experience building drag-and-drop interfaces
Experience in telecom, UCaaS, or multi-tenant SaaS platforms
Personality & Mindset
You lead primarily through technical contribution and example
You are proactive — you raise issues, propose improvements, and don’t wait to be told
You take ownership of your tasks and their outcomes, not just your code
You are calm and pragmatic, able to make sound decisions under real-world constraints
You are curious and reflective, and willing to challenge assumptions — including your own
You sync naturally with the Product Owner, QA, and other teams before making changes that affect everyone
You enjoy mentoring developers and helping the team become more autonomous
You care about UX details and how the product feels to the people who use it
You care about building sustainable systems and capable teams
What You’ll Do
On a typical sprint and release cycle, you will take the following into consideration.
Hands-on development (core expectation)
Design and implement key features and complex components across the frontend (React, TypeScript)
Build and review React pages, flows, and reusable components, especially in critical or high-impact plugins
Review complex pull requests and refactor code to maintain high standards
Debug complex issues across the micro-frontend shell and individual plugins
Technical leadership
Lead frontend architecture discussions and guide the team’s day-to-day design decisions
Drive the Module Federation adoption and other cross-cutting architectural initiatives
Break down complex initiatives into clear, executable work
Coordinate with other frontend teams so that shared changes are aligned before they land
Run or support architectural spikes and proof-of-concepts
Help define how the team uses AI-assisted development tools safely and productively
Quality, delivery, and collaboration
Set and uphold standards for code quality, testing, accessibility, and maintainability
Collaborate with designers to turn Figma designs into polished user experiences
Collaborate with backend teams on API contracts, permissions, and authentication
Sync with the Product Owner to ensure work is well-understood and sequenced
Sync with the QA team to ensure changes are testable and verified before release
Surface risks, trade-offs, and dependencies early with proposed mitigations
What Success Looks Like
You actively contribute to critical parts of the frontend codebase
The team delivers high-quality software with strong technical direction
Architectural decisions are well-balanced and well-communicated
Technical debt is managed proactively (not ignored or over-corrected)
Cross-cutting changes are aligned with the teams they affect
Engineers grow in capability and independence
Your First Months
In your first months, you are expected to:
Get hands-on with the codebase and contribute to active delivery
Understand the micro-frontend architecture, the plugin model, and the key technical challenges
Establish technical ownership of key plugins or areas
Build strong collaboration with the Product Owner, QA, designers, and other frontend teams
Help move the Module Federation adoption forward
Ways of Working
