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.
At Roamless, front-end isn't an afterthought, it's how more than a million travelers experience our product every day.
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.
You'll report directly to our CTO and work in a team of front-end developers, working closely with Product and Design. This isn't a role where you wait for specs and execute. You'll set the technical direction, define the architecture, and be the person the team turns to when the hard decisions need to be made. You'll still write code every day, we need someone who leads by example, not by delegation.
You'll be the bridge between Product and Engineering on all web experiences. You'll work closely with the Product Manager responsible for our web product, translating product vision into technical decisions, pushing back when something isn't feasible, and proactively flagging opportunities the product side might not see.
- 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 front-end architecture across our web, B2B portal, and website, your decisions shape how we build, not just what we build
- 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
- Set technical standards, code quality bars, and front-end patterns for the team, be the person they look to when facing architectural tradeoffs
- Ship production-quality code daily using React, Next.js, and Node.js - you're still hands-on
- Drive performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability across all web properties
- Be the technical bridge between Product and Engineering. Partner with the PM responsible for our web experience from early scoping through to delivery
- Mentor and grow the front-end team as Roamless scales
Must-haves:
- 7+ years of front-end development experience with deep expertise in React and Next.js
- Strong Node.js skills - comfortable operating across the full front-end/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
- A track record of architecting and owning front-end systems
- Experience setting technical direction and raising the quality bar in the teams around you
- Startup mindset: you make good decisions with incomplete information, move fast, and own outcomes end-to-end
- Experience working directly with Product teams in a cross-functional capacity. Comfortable challenging requirements, contributing to product thinking, and influencing decisions upstream of development
- Clear, structured communicator - you can articulate technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders without losing nuance
Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with Contentful or other headless CMS platforms
- Background in migrating or rebuilding web properties at scale
- Background working in a product-led, B2C tech company
