ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a Tech Lead for the Frontend Platform Team provides technical leadership for Xsolla’s core platform responsible for powering all user-facing experiences. This role combines deep engineering expertise with people leadership, guiding a team of approximately eight developers. The Tech Lead shapes the platform’s architecture, improves developer workflows, and ensures high-quality, scalable solutions that support storefronts, widgets, and other monetization-focused experiences used across the Xsolla ecosystem.

This position requires strong frontend and platform-level experience, the ability to lead complex technical initiatives, and the capability to support predictable, reliable delivery.


RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Provide technical leadership for the Xsolla frontend platform, defining architecture, coding standards, and long-term technical direction.
  • Coach, mentor, and manage a team of ~8 developers, supporting professional growth and maintaining a strong engineering culture.
  • Partner closely with the other Tech Leads working on the same platform to ensure architectural alignment, consistent standards, and unified decision-making.
  • Oversee planning and execution of platform features and improvements, ensuring smooth delivery and high-quality outcomes.
  • Drive modernization, refactoring, and performance enhancements to keep the platform scalable, maintainable, and aligned with product goals.
  • Establish and enforce engineering best practices across coding, documentation, testing, and review processes.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and platform teams to deliver cohesive partner-facing experiences.
  • Ensure strong automated test coverage and reliable CI/CD workflows that reduce manual effort and improve delivery predictability.
  • Leverage automation and AI-assisted tooling to accelerate development, improve consistency, and increase developer velocity.
  • Own operational excellence, including incident response, root-cause analysis, and long-term reliability improvements.
  • Advocate for scalability, performance, security, and observability across the platform’s architecture and tooling.
  • Identify technical risks, estimate complexity, and communicate trade-offs to leadership and stakeholders.
  • Foster alignment with other engineering teams on shared services, APIs, rendering pipelines, and platform interfaces.

    • REQUIREMENTS
  • 8+ years of software development experience with strong expertise in modern frontend engineering at scale. At  least 3 years in a similar tech lead role.
  • Deep hands-on knowledge of React including component architecture, SSR patterns, RSC, and complex UI data flows.
  • Proficiency with Node.js and MongoDB for server-side functionality.
  • Strong understanding of modern styling systems and theming approaches (vanilla-extract, styled-components, design tokens).
  • Solid TypeScript practices, including strict typing, shared contracts, and schema validation (Zod or equivalent).
  • Experience with Module Federation
  • Good understanding of bundling and compilation, experience with webpack/rollup/vite/esbuild.
  • Experience with automated testing frameworks (Vitest/Jest) and end-to-end testing (Playwright/Cypress).
  • Good understanding of backend integration patterns (REST, GraphQL, RPC-style APIs).
  • Experience with CI/CD workflows (GitLab CI or similar), private registries, and secure artifact handling.
  • Proven ability to lead engineers, own architectural decisions, and manage delivery for complex platform projects.

    • NICE TO HAVE
  • Experience building platforms or tooling used across multiple frontend teams (design systems, template engines, configuration frameworks). Experience with react-native/mobile experience
  • Knowledge of performance optimization strategies for client-side and server-side rendering.
  • Understanding of accessibility, internationalization, and semantic UI design best practices.
  • Experience developing SDKs, CLI tools, or developer-facing automation.
  • Familiarity with event-driven UI flows, real-time interfaces, or edge-rendering strategies.
  • Background improving developer platforms, observability stacks, or performance monitoring systems.
  • Comfort with UI-as-data approaches and leveraging AI-assisted/no-code tooling to accelerate feature delivery.
