Frontend Tech Lead

About Caravelo Airlines have spent decades selling one trip at a time. At Caravelo, we help them build recurring relationships with their customers instead. We build the technology behind airline subscription products used by carriers around the world, combining Saa S, payments, booking systems, pricing and airline integrations in one platform. Our Product & Platform teams build the common technology that other teams and customer implementations rely on. The frontend platform is still young. The foundations are in place, the major architectural decisions have largely been made, and the next challenge is to make sure the system stays coherent, reliable and easy to evolve as the product grows. That is where this role comes in. The mission We’re looking for a Frontend Tech Lead to help shape how frontend engineering evolves at Caravelo. This is a highly hands‑on role. You will still build features and platform capabilities yourself, but your impact should go beyond the code you personally write. You will help define how frontend engineers work, how architectural decisions are made, how code is reviewed, how reusable foundations evolve, and how we keep the platform healthy as more teams and use cases build on top of it. You will join the Platform team, report to the CPTO and be part of Engineering Leadership. We are looking for someone who can operate as an experienced Tech Lead today, or a strong Senior Frontend Engineer ready to grow into that scope. Reporting lines / interfaces You will report to the CPTO and participate in Engineering Leadership. You will work closely with: Frontend engineers across Product and Platform. Backend and Platform engineers. Product Managers. Designers. Professional Services. Engineering leadership. What you’ll do Build and evolve the frontend platform You will remain deeply involved in implementation. You will: Build and improve shared frontend capabilities used across Caravelo. Help evolve the design system and component foundations together with Design and other frontend engineers. Improve the developer experience around local development, CI/CD, testing and deployment. Keep the current frontend architecture healthy as new features and product lines are added. Make pragmatic architectural decisions without introducing unnecessary complexity. The goal is not to redesign the frontend for the sake of it. The goal is to make sure what we already have becomes increasingly robust, understandable and scalable. Lead the frontend practice You will help set the standard for how frontend engineering is done across Caravelo. That includes: Defining and evolving architecture conventions. Facilitating RFCs and technical decision‑making. Raising the quality and consistency of code reviews. Helping establish clear frontend engineering standards. Running or contributing to the frontend guild. Mentoring other frontend engineers and helping them become more autonomous. You will not need direct reports to have a large impact. You will lead through technical judgment, clarity, consistency and the quality of the foundations you help create. Improve reliability, testing and observability A frontend platform is only useful if teams can trust it. You will help strengthen: E2 E testing and regression coverage. Monitoring and alerting. Performance visibility. Production debugging and troubleshooting. Confidence in releases and changes. We want to move toward a frontend practice where failures are easier to detect, easier to understand and less likely to surprise us. Improve communication across teams Frontend work often crosses team boundaries. You will help improve: Visibility into frontend work and technical decisions. Documentation of architecture, patterns and shared capabilities. Collaboration between Platform, Product and Professional Services. Knowledge sharing so engineers do not depend on a small number of people to move forward. Follow‑up on architectural decisions so they become practice rather than one‑off conversations. A good technical decision is only useful if the rest of the team understands it and can apply it. Use AI to accelerate without creating chaos We actively use AI‑assisted development at Caravelo. You will help make sure AI improves frontend engineering rather than fragmenting it. That means: Using AI tools to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging and documentation. Encouraging reusable workflows and consistent patterns. Helping engineers review and challenge AI‑generated code. Using specifications and clear technical intent to guide AI‑assisted development. Preventing speed from becoming an excuse for duplication or poor engineering judgment. AI can make output cheaper. Your job is to help make sure judgment, ownership and maintainability remain strong. What success looks like You are succeeding in this role when: Frontend engineers can ship new features with less friction and stronger confidence. The frontend architecture remains coherent as the product grows. Shared
