What you will do
As Head of Frontend Engineering, you will make an important contribution to our company’s mission. Our frontend sits at the intersection between a modern stack of backend and data processing technologies and our customers’ need for an intuitive way to quickly discover cost-saving insights and mission critical performance data. Our frontend engineers bring to life the product needs of our customers in a design that’s appealing and understandable.
In your role you will empower a team of seven talented Frontend Engineers, working across different value streams (e.g. Energy or Maintenance), which are multidisciplinary product teams that deliver end-to-end value to our customers. You will be the glue that holds the team together, contributing to a professional but relaxed workflow and steering processes towards standardization and efficiency where appropriate. You will also shape the vision for frontend engineering at Sensorfact, grounded in the needs of your team and the products they build.
You will enable others to do their best work and develop themselves in line with their personal goals. We believe in leading by example, so you are encouraged to contribute hands-on at times to keep in touch with your team’s developer experience.
Sensorfact is a dynamic workplace: change is a constant. The way we are organized is a snapshot of today’s needs. Your job description might evolve in time to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Flexibility and pragmatism are a must. Knowing what to focus on is the key to success.
