Frontend Tech Lead

About Roamless

The origin story of Roamless is one that will be familiar to many: we saw something broken and we decided to fix it for good.

We all travel. We all need to stay connected. And we all hate roaming charges. Existing alternatives were clunky, expensive, and unreliable, so we built something better. We made it easy, reliable and affordable for travellers to get connected and stay connected as they roam the world.

Our truly global mobile connectivity service is up to 90% cheaper than traditional roaming. With one eSIM, you get instant, reliable data anywhere in the world. No SIM swaps, no hunting for Wi-Fi, no choosing countries or data packs. Your balance never expires, so you can use it across trips with zero hidden fees or expiration dates.

In just 3 years, we've grown 4-5x Year on Year and have been trusted by +1M users who overall rate us 4.6 on Trustpilot.

🚀 We also recently closed a $12M Series A led by Rasmal Ventures, with participation from Shorooq, Revo Capital, Finberg, and JIMCO, to fuel our mission of becoming the world's first truly global mobile operator.

Hiring globally and fully remote, we're a team of 60, and we're planning to grow to 100+ in the next ~12 months.

About The Role

We have grown fast - 4-5x year on year and our engineering team has grown with it. We've built a strong technical foundation, shipped a product trusted by over a million users, and closed a $12M Series A. Now we're at the stage where great engineering alone isn't enough, we need someone who makes the team behind the engineering exceptional.

As our Frontend Tech Lead, you'll own both the technical direction and the people on that team. This is a player-coach role. Roughly 70% of your time will be spent on hands-on work: writing and shipping code, reviewing pull requests, and making architectural decisions alongside your team. The remaining 30% of is people leadership: 1:1s, performance conversations, unblocking engineers, and building the team habits that make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. We're not looking for someone transitioning out of coding entirely; we're looking for someone who leads best when they're still in the work.

The scope of what you'll work on is genuinely broad. On one side, there's our website, a high-traffic, conversion-critical surface where you'll help define not just how things are built, but how content is structured and accelerated through our CMS. On the other, there's our B2B enterprise portal, a brand new product for a brand new business line, currently in its earliest stages. This provides real room to design it the way it should be done.

You'll work closely with our PM responsible for our web experience from day one, shaping the roadmap rather than receiving it, the kind of role where your instincts about what to build next are as valued as your ability to build it, and where you'll be the one setting the technical direction for how the team gets there.

What you will do

• Write and ship production-quality code daily using React, Next.js, and Node.js. Leverage AI tools as a core part of how you work.
• Own the frontend architecture across our website, and B2B portal, making decisions that set the direction for the team
• Champion AI adoption across the frontend team. Model it in your own workflow and build habits that make it stick collectively
