What we offer
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.
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.
- 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
- Lead the team's CMS migration, owning both technical execution and the long-term content infrastructure design
- Be the technical bridge between Product and Engineering. Partner with the PM responsible for our web experience from early scoping through to delivery
- Review pull requests with feedback that raises the bar, and mentor engineers on both craft and broader engineering thinking
- Own the people management of the frontend team: regular 1:1s, performance reviews, development plans, and honest conversations about growth and performance
- Break down silos, build rituals and practices that encourage knowledge sharing and collective ownership within the team
- Partner with the CTO on team structure, hiring priorities, and capacity planning as Roamless scales
Must-haves:
- 8+ years of frontend development experience with deep expertise in React and Next.js
- Strong Node.js skills: comfortable operating across the full frontend/backend boundary
- A genuine belief in AI-assisted engineering. You already use AI tools in your own workflow and have a view on how to roll them out in a team
- Proven experience leading or tech-leading a frontend team. You've owned technical direction and had real accountability for the output
- Experience managing or mentoring engineers directly, with the maturity to have honest performance conversations
- Startup mindset: you make good decisions with incomplete information, move fast, and own outcomes end-to-end
- Strong cross-functional communicator: comfortable shaping requirements with Product and explaining tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Nice-to-haves:
- Background in migrating or rebuilding web properties at scale
- Experience managing fully remote, distributed engineering teams
- Familiarity with scaling teams through a Series A/B growth phase
- Background working in a product-led, B2C tech company
