Applications Team Leader

Join an exciting and fast-moving InsurTech startup on a mission to reshape the insurance industry—by transforming the outdated process of launching and managing insurance products into something slick, intuitive, fun and wildly more productive. We're looking for a super-talented, hands-on Applications Team Leader to take charge of all customer-facing components of our product.

What you’ll do

As the Applications Team Leader, you will:

• Lead the architecture, design and development of all customer-facing modules, including:
• Front-end applications
• Auto-generated reports, documents & notifications
• Collaborate closely with product management, designers, and backend engineers to deliver a seamless user experience.
• Own the end-to-end technical execution of the application layer—from architecture to implementation.
• Manage and mentor a small, high-performing development team.
• Bring product and UX thinking into every technical decision.

Who you are

• A front-end rockstar with deep expertise in building responsive, modern web apps—experience with React is a big plus.
• Passionate about product, UI, and UX—you think like a designer and build like an engineer.
• Comfortable working hands-on, and thrive in startup environments where you wear multiple hats.
• Capable of leading small dev teams and fostering a collaborative, supportive culture.
• A people person with strong communication skills—you listen well, speak clearly, and love working cross-functionally.

What you’ll need

• 3+ years of experience as a front-end engineer, preferably in startup or product-focused environments.
• Strong TypeScript skills and deep knowledge of modern frameworks (React preferred).
• A good sense for product design and UX, with an ability to translate abstract ideas into working interfaces.
• Proven experience leading or mentoring a small engineering team – an advantage.
• High standards for code design, quality, performance, and user experience.
