A growing SaaS business is looking for an Interim Front-End Tech Lead to build the new front end for its data platform from the ground up.

- 8+ years in engineering, with strong, recent React and TypeScript experience
- Experience leading and managing small teams while still coding
- At least one SaaS product front end you've built from scratch and shipped
- Comfort building against API contracts agreed with a separate back-end team
- Experience changing how a team builds software with AI tools, beyond just using them yourself
- Eligibility for UK SC clearance
Contract Details:
- Day Rate: £650 per day, Outside IR35
