Mission
Faros AI is an operational data platform that brings all engineering data into a single pane of glass, giving teams unprecedented visibility across their software development lifecycle. By equipping leaders with comprehensive, actionable insights, we empower organizations to transform and operate at a whole new level of efficiency.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Lead Front-End Developer to join our team. Your primary responsibility will be the development and maintenance of the frontend of our SaaS product, utilizing modern web development technologies and best practices. However, we highly value candidates who are able to learn about other parts of the stack to gain a holistic understanding of our system. You will also be responsible for mentoring and coaching your team members, and for helping to ensure that our team is using the latest and greatest technologies and best practices.
Responsibilities
• Lead the development of front-end solutions for our SaaS product, using modern web development technologies and best practices.

• Troubleshoot, debug, and upgrade software components as necessary.
• Conduct testing and validation to ensure software performance and reliability.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in front-end development.
• Mentor junior front-end developers.
• Review code contributions from external contractors.
What We Value
• Living by our values over avoiding conflicts
We speak honestly, act transparently, and stay true to our principles, especially when it’s difficult.
• Daring to be great over eliminating weaknesses
We win by excelling at what matters most, not by imitating or outdoing competitors.
• Moving fast over perfection
We value learning, iteration, and agility more than waiting for “perfect.”
• Ownership over process
We trust you to own outcomes, make thoughtful decisions, and be accountable for results.
