Our software consistently receives praise for its features and ease of use on Capterra and G2, earning multiple awards for technology and creative excellence.

Primary Objective: As the Frontend Engineering Manager (Team Lead) at Spectrio, you will lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of 8+ Frontend Engineers building the web applications that power our Digital Signage Content Management System (CMS) Platform. This is a hands-on, player-coach role: you'll set frontend architecture and quality standards, stay in the code through reviews and pairing, and drive the modernization of a multi-generation Angular codebase into a clean, signal-driven Angular 20 architecture. You'll partner closely with the backend, device, and product teams to deliver fast, secure, and scalable experiences for a growing subscription-based platform.

Responsibilities include:

Technical Leadership & Hands-On Engineering

• Stay in the Code: Write, review, and ship production Angular alongside the team; keep a meaningful share of your time hands-on.
• Architecture Standards: Own frontend architecture - standalone components, Signals-based state, zoneless change detection, modern control flow (@if/@for/@switch), and a clear state-management strategy (NgRx / NgRx Signals).
• Modernization: Lead incremental migration from legacy Angular (v10v12, Akita, Karma/Jasmine) into the modern stack (Angular 20, Jest + Angular Testing Library) without big-bang rewrites or stalling feature delivery.
• Design Systems: Drive consistency and reuse with Angular Material and a shared component library.

Quality, Testing & CI/CD

• Test Strategy: Own a layered testing approach across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; set coverage expectations and keep suites fast and reliable.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Build and maintain automated pipelines (GitHub Actions) for linting, testing, builds, and deploys to AWS and Cloudflare.
• Quality Gates: Enforce ESLint, Prettier, Husky pre-commit hooks, and a healthy PR review culture.

Architecture, Performance & Scale

• Performance: Own bundle size, lazy loading, change-detection efficiency, and Core Web Vitals; profile and eliminate bottlenecks.
• Scalability & Load: Build UIs that stay responsive at scale - large datasets, high-volume real-time streams, and large device fleets - and validate behavior under load.
• Real-Time Data: Design resilient real-time integrations using WebSockets, MQTT, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for device-to-cloud and live dashboard scenarios.

Security & Compliance (SOC 2)

• Secure SDLC: Champion secure coding practices and support SOC 2 controls - secure SSO/OAuth/OIDC flows, safe token handling, XSS/CSRF protection, Content Security Policy, and least-privilege access.
• Supply Chain: Manage dependency and supply-chain risk (SCA, vulnerability remediation, secrets hygiene) across the frontend and CI/CD pipeline.
• Audit Readiness: Help produce evidence and uphold change-management and access controls required for audits.

People & Performance Management

• One-on-Ones: Regular touchpoints focused on career growth, unblocking, and building trust.
• Performance & Reviews: Set expectations, deliver continuous feedback, and write formal performance reviews.
• Hiring & Team Building: Run technical screens, raise the bar, onboard new talent, and manage exits or PIPs when needed.

Agile Process & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Sprint Planning & Delivery: Partner with the team to refine, estimate, and deliver a predictable backlog; track team health and KPIs (velocity, cycle time).
• Cross-Team Alignment: Collaborate with backend, device, in-reality, and product leaders on API contracts, architecture, and technical cohesion.
• Escalation Management: Serve as a point person for high-priority production issues affecting the frontend.

Technical Requirements

• Angular Mastery: Deep, recent Angular experience (v12+; comfort with v20 patterns strongly preferred) and strong TypeScript fundamentals.
• State Management: Proven experience with NgRx or equivalent (NgRx Signals a plus) and RxJS.
• Testing Depth: Hands-on with frontend unit, integration, and E2E testing (Jest, Angular Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright, or Karma/Jasmine/Protractor).
• CI/CD: Practical experience building and maintaining pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions.
• Real-Time: Working knowledge of WebSockets, MQTT, and SSE.
• Performance: Demonstrated ability to optimize for performance, scalability, and load.
• Security: Familiarity with web security best practices and compliance-driven development (SOC 2 or similar).
• Cloud & Tooling: Experience with AWS, Cloudflare, GitHub, and awareness of MongoDB Atlas-backed services.

Preferred Requirements

• Experience in Digital Signage CMS or similar SaaS web application development.
• Modern Angular at scale: standalone components, Signals, zoneless change detection.
• SSO/identity integration (OAuth2/OIDC, Auth0, or generic enterprise SSO).
• Data-visualization-heavy UIs (ECharts, Plotly, D3) and real-time/analytics dashboards.
• Multi-app or monorepo frontend organization.
• Hands-on SOC 2 audit participation.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 7+ years of professional Software Engineering experience, with a strong focus on frontend development.
• 2+ years directly leading or Managing Engineers (1-on-1s, performance reviews, career development), ideally a team of 5+.
• Expert-level Angular and TypeScript, with a track record of shipping and maintaining production single-page applications.
• Proven experience designing and enforcing layered testing strategies (Unit, Integration, E2E) and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong understanding of frontend performance, scalability, and load optimization.
• Working knowledge of real-time communication (WebSockets, MQTT, SSE).
• Familiarity with secure development practices and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Cloudflare, and GitHub.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for cross-functional stakeholders.

Personnel Supervisory Role:

The Team Lead serves as a first-line supervisor. While this role directs and evaluates staff daily, the Department Manager and People Operations retain final authority regarding termination, hiring, and salary adjustments. The responsibilities include:

• Day-to-Day Oversight: Monitor daily workflow, task assignment, and output quality for a designated team of employees and/or contractors.
• Performance Management: Conduct regular one-on-one meetings to provide coaching, feedback, and professional development guidance.
• Administrative Approval: Review and approve timecards, leave requests, and expense reports in alignment with company policy.
• Resource Allocation: Identify bandwidth issues and redistribute tasks to ensure project deadlines are met without burnout.
• Talent Acquisition Support: Participate in the interview process for potential new hires or contractors and provide formal feedback/recommendations to the hiring manager.
• Performance Documentation: Maintain objective records of performance wins and challenges to support annual reviews or formal
