Join an exciting and fast-moving InsurTech startup on a mission to reshape the insurance industry—by transforming the outdated process of launching and managing insurance products into something slick, intuitive, fun and wildly more productive. We're looking for a super-talented, hands-on Applications Team Leader to take charge of all customer-facing components of our product.
What you’ll do
As the Applications Team Leader, you will:
- Lead the architecture, design and development of all customer-facing modules, including:
- Front-end applications
- Auto-generated reports, documents & notifications
- Collaborate closely with product management, designers, and backend engineers to deliver a seamless user experience.
- Own the end-to-end technical execution of the application layer—from architecture to implementation.
- Manage and mentor a small, high-performing development team.
- Bring product and UX thinking into every technical decision.
Who you are
- A front-end rockstar with deep expertise in building responsive, modern web apps—experience with React is a big plus.
- Passionate about product, UI, and UX—you think like a designer and build like an engineer.
- Comfortable working hands-on, and thrive in startup environments where you wear multiple hats.
- Capable of leading small dev teams and fostering a collaborative, supportive culture.
- A people person with strong communication skills—you listen well, speak clearly, and love working cross-functionally.
What you’ll need
- 3+ years of experience as a front-end engineer, preferably in startup or product-focused environments.
- Strong TypeScript skills and deep knowledge of modern frameworks (React preferred).
- A good sense for product design and UX, with an ability to translate abstract ideas into working interfaces.
- Proven experience leading or mentoring a small engineering team – an advantage.
- High standards for code design, quality, performance, and user experience.
