About this Lead Frontend Engineer (React) role at Idt
Idt · Hybrid · Minsk
We are looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer for UI CORE, one of three frontend teams at net2phone. The team owns the web side of our cloud communications product: the main web app, the admin console, the supervisor and receptionist consoles, the call queues wallboard, the dialer, and the shared UI platform packages underneath them.
This is a hands-on lead role. You will write code, own technical decisions, and lead a team of three mid-level engineers, one senior engineer and two QA engineers.
Stack: React, TypeScript, micro-frontends, AWS (CloudFront, Lambda@Edge, S3), GitHub Actions, Jira, Scrum.
What you will own:
- Technical direction for the team's applications and the shared UI platform.
- Delivery to production. Our apps ship to ten production pods through CloudFront and Lambda@Edge with a service-worker entrypoint and a versioned CDN. Frontend delivery here is real infrastructure work, not a build step.
- The team's application template, which every new app in the organisation starts from.
- Code review standards, technical debt, and the quality bar.
- The team's scrum process.
- Representing frontend in architecture discussions with backend, platform and product leads.
What we are looking for:
- Experience leading a small distributed frontend team, including growing engineers. Not only mentoring: owning what the team builds and how.
- Strong React. We are finishing a large migration from Angular, so you have seen legacy and greenfield in one codebase.
- You have owned frontend delivery to production, not just components: builds, caching, CDN, releases, and what happens when a release breaks in production.
- AI-assisted development as daily practice. The team already works this way, with agentic tooling on our own codebases. You should be at least at their level.
- Comfortable running scrum for your team.
- English B1 or above. The team works in Russian, product and stakeholders in English.
Nice to have:
- Micro-frontends.
- AWS at the level a frontend owner needs: CloudFront, Lambda@Edge, S3, CloudWatch.
