Frontend Tech Lead / Manager (Web)
We usually respond within three days
Everyone passionate about innovations wants to make the world a better place. That is exactly what we are doing at Utorg. While developing innovative fintech products that combine traditional finance and blockchain technology, we are creating a gateway that unlocks multiple opportunities for both users and businesses. We ship with a product-led mindset, design for clearly defined segments, and meet strict compliance requirements in every market we operate in. If you like turning complex finance into simple, everyday tools, you’ll feel at home here.
We are seeking an experienced and pragmatic Frontend Tech Lead (Web) to drive the frontend engineering efforts across our web development team. You will lead a cross-functional frontend team, own the technical direction of our web stack, and partner closely with Product, Design, and Backend teams to deliver high-quality, maintainable, and secure user experiences in a regulated fintech environment.
This role is for a hands-on leader who combines deep technical expertise with strong mentorship skills and a product mindset. You will set engineering standards, iterate on architecture, and ensure the team ships features that meet business goals and compliance requirements.
Required skills
Technical Mastery & Architecture:
At least 5+ years of deep production work in the React + TypeScript ecosystem.
Proven knowledge of TypeScript.
System Design & Future Proofing:
Proven track record of designing scalable frontend architectures from scratch. You don't just "use" frameworks; you build systems (e.g., FSD, Module Federation, Monorepos) that remain maintainable as the team grows
Engineering Excellence:
Advanced skills in performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, memory management) and security. You are the "Last Line of Defense" for code quality.
Ability to write clean, self-documented code.
State Management Deep Dive:
Expert knowledge of Redux Toolkit or MobX, with the ability to justify the choice based on data flow complexity and team velocity.
Strong product mindset:
You think beyond implementation and care about user experience, business context, and product impact.
Skilled in technical research:
Evaluating trade-offs, testing hypotheses, and making data-driven architectural decisions.
Effective collaborator across cross-functional teams (Product, Design, Backend, QA):
You communicate clearly and drive alignment.
High Autonomy & Ownership:
You don't ask "Can I do this?". You say, "I am implementing X because ..., and here is the plan."
Strategic Decision Making:
You choose technologies based on business value (cost of support, scalability, speed of delivery) rather than trends.
Mentorship & Quality Gates:
Experience in setting up engineering standards (CI/CD, automated testing, TDD) so that the CTO no longer needs to review frontend code.
Self-motivated and responsible:
You enjoy autonomy, and take full ownership of the development process.
Curious about blockchain technologies and eager to deepen your understanding of crypto, and network mechanics.
English proficiency at least Upper-Intermediate. Fluent in the Russian language.
Nice to have
Proven working experience in open-source projects;
Hands-on experience in NodeJS and Java;
Familiarity with blockchain;
Experience in MUI, NextJS, redux-toolkit, Storybook, and Lerna.
What we offer:
Work fully remote as part of an agile, international team reshaping the future of finance.
Competitive salary range based on individual performance review.
Opportunities for career progression and professional development in a forward-thinking fintech environment.
Continuous learning and access to leading tools, industry conferences, and knowledge-sharing with experts.
Transparent feedback and a culture that values ownership, open dialogue, and visible impact.
Contribute your skills to products that promote transparency, accessibility, and security in financial technology.
