Assignment description

We are looking for a Senior Frontend & UI Lead to take end-to-end ownership of the interface for a next-generation workshop ordering platform within the independent aftermarket. The role spans from understanding real workshop workflows to delivering production-ready code.

This is not a purely engineering-focused position. The right candidate leads with user experience, prioritizes user journeys over isolated components, and makes design decisions directly in code. You are confident presenting and explaining your rationale to both technical and business stakeholders.

You will own the frontend architecture and overall user experience of the platform, translating complex workshop processes into clear, efficient, and intuitive interfaces based on real user needs rather than predefined specifications. You will design and deliver production-grade UI, combining design and implementation in a cohesive workflow.

The role requires close collaboration with product, backend engineering, and business stakeholders, contributing actively to direction and decisions. You will use AI-assisted development as a natural part of your workflow to enable rapid iteration and high delivery capacity. In addition, you will define, measure, and continuously improve UX quality using behavioral metrics such as task completion rate, time-on-task, and error rates, and facilitate cross-disciplinary decisions at the intersection of product, design, and engineering.

Qualifications:

• Significant experience as a Senior or Lead Frontend Engineer with clear ownership of user experience outcomes (not only implementation).
• Demonstrated ability to move from user problem to deployed solution without reliance on a separate design handoff process.
• Strong capability to operate across product, design, and engineering disciplines.
• Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools as part of daily workflows, with a clear understanding of where they accelerate value and where they do not.
• Experience working in small, high-autonomy teams where strategic direction is shaped collaboratively rather than handed down.
• Strong experience with: React, Next.js, TypeScript

Meriting:

• Tailwind CSS
• Shadcn/ui
• Experience from the automotive or vehicle industry.
• Background in HMI (Human-Machine Interface) or interface design for operational/workshop environments.
• Proven ability to articulate technical and design decisions to non-technical stakeholders through presentations and written communication.

You have a strong delivery focus and take clear ownership of your responsibilities. You are able to provide technical leadership while collaborating effectively in cross-functional teams. You approach challenges in a structured and analytical way, with a proactive and continuous improvement mindset. You also have strong communication skills and are confident in managing and engaging stakeholders.
