About Caravelo
Airlines have spent decades selling one trip at a time. At Caravelo, we help them build recurring relationships with their customers instead.
We build the technology behind airline subscription products used by carriers around the world, combining SaaS, payments, booking systems, pricing and airline integrations in one platform.
Our Product & Platform teams build the common technology that other teams and customer implementations rely on.
The frontend platform is still young. The foundations are in place, the major architectural decisions have largely been made, and the next challenge is to make sure the system stays coherent, reliable and easy to evolve as the product grows.
That is where this role comes in.
The mission
We’re looking for a Frontend Tech Lead to help shape how frontend engineering evolves at Caravelo.
This is a highly hands-on role. You will still build features and platform capabilities yourself, but your impact should go beyond the code you personally write.
You will help define how frontend engineers work, how architectural decisions are made, how code is reviewed, how reusable foundations evolve, and how we keep the platform healthy as more teams and use cases build on top of it.
You will join the Platform team, report to the CPTO and be part of Engineering Leadership.
We are looking for someone who can operate as an experienced Tech Lead today, or a strong Senior Frontend Engineer ready to grow into that scope.
Reporting lines / interfaces
You will report to the CPTO and participate in Engineering Leadership . You will work closely with:
Frontend engineers across Product and Platform.
Backend and Platform engineers.
Product Managers.
Designers.
Professional Services.
Engineering leadership.
What you'll do
Build and evolve the frontend platform
You will remain deeply involved in implementation. You will:
Build and improve shared frontend capabilities used across Caravelo.
Help evolve the design system and component foundations together with Design and other frontend engineers.
Improve the developer experience around local development, CI/CD, testing and deployment.
Keep the current frontend architecture healthy as new features and product lines are added.
Make pragmatic architectural decisions without introducing unnecessary complexity.
The goal is not to redesign the frontend for the sake of it. The goal is to make sure what we already have becomes increasingly robust, understandable and scalable.
Lead the frontend practice
You will help set the standard for how frontend engineering is done across Caravelo. That includes:
Defining and evolving architecture conventions.
Facilitating RFCs and technical decision-making.
Raising the quality and consistency of code reviews.
Helping establish clear frontend engineering standards.
Running or contributing to the frontend guild.
Mentoring other frontend engineers and helping them become more autonomous.
You will not need direct…
