Front-end Team Leader – Widgets Team

Project description and responsibilities:
You will be part of the EMFE department. Working on the group level, EveryMatrix Front-End (short EMFE) is the department that manages everything related to the front-end: from some banners or the need for a logo to a fully functional, cutting-edge online casino. This TL position is within the Widgets Team, and it will give you the chance to work, manage and shape the future of our front-end solution, doing both new features from scratch but also extending our current ones. With a ratio of 90% new code and 10% maintenance, you will have the opportunity to shape the end-product into the best version that will not only assure boosting revenues but maintain a clean, reliable, and performant code.
The Widgets Team works mainly with Svelte and Angular, using an HTTP2 API as the transfer protocol between EM Backend and the FE, also tackles and improves our internal API application. Everything is shipped with Docker inside Kubernetes with a backbone pipeline provided by Gitlab and a true focus on performance.
As a TL you will lead the Widgets Team and assure that all requests are met in the agreed timelines, team members are not blocked, and the quality of the end product is kept at a high level. Also, based on load, you will need to chip in doing actual development or offer guidance both internal and external if needed. You will have the direct help of all the other teams in EMFE and you will also benefit from over 40+ years of cumulated FE experience inside and outside of EveryMatrix.
It’s an exciting product and for us, it is one of the most interesting journeys that we’ve been on. We look forward to you joining us and being part of this.
