Senior Frontend Engineer (Team Lead)

Seniority: Senior
Contract type: Full-time Permanent
Work Environment: Hybrid 3 days in the office a week

Evooq is a global provider of technology-driven solutions for wealth managers. We are building an ecosystem of solutions that combine data, technology and investment expertise. Wealth managers use our solutions to rapidly identify investment opportunities, make informed decisions and manage the risk and the lifecycle of investments.

We operate as a group of highly autonomous teams that take responsibility for their projects and interact with each other based on mutual trust.
We are headquartered in Lausanne, with additional offices in Zurich and Singapore.

We are expanding our core engineering team and seeking a senior engineer who combines solid technical expertise with excellent communication and collaboration skills. We value pragmatic people who can solve problems with original thinking and who thrive in agile, cross-functional teams.

This role is primarily hands-on frontend engineering, with the expectation that you will progressively grow toward a Team Lead role with our support.

What you will do

• Take ownership of the product you are building across the full software lifecycle - from requirements analysis and design to implementation, deployment, monitoring, and support.
• Design and deliver maintainable, reliable, and well-tested solutions.
• Collaborate closely with frontend and backend engineers, product stakeholders, and other teams.
• Team spirit - you are a great teammate, making sure that everyone on your team feels valued and is excited to work with you.
• Passion, curiosity, pragmatism, and humility. We favor code and demos over lengthy discussions.
• Use AI tools thoughtfully and responsibly, understanding when they help and when engineering judgment matters more.

Team Lead Track

As part of this role, you will progressively grow toward a Team Lead position with our support. In this regard, we will expect among others the following:

• Balancing hands-on engineering with technical leadership and delivery coordination responsibilities (approximately 60% hands-on development and 40% leadership/coordination).
• Helping align a small cross-functional engineering team around delivery goals and technical priorities.
• Maintaining and refining the engineering backlog in collaboration with Product and Tech leadership.
• Supporting team collaboration, mentoring, and knowledge sharing.
• Contributing to delivery planning, prioritisation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Strong software engineering and programming fundamentals.
• Strong experience with a modern frontend framework with hands on experience of Vue3 
• Extensive experience developing applications with TypeScript, modern JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS.
• Good knowledge of the JavaScript ecosystem, including tools such as Vite, Node.js, Vitest, and related modern tooling.
• Understanding of software development processes, including versioning, packaging, testing, and deployment.
• Fluency with Git and collaborative development workflows.
• Professional proficiency in English (French is a plus).
• Swiss or European citizenship, or a valid Swiss work permit.

 Nice-to-have

• Familiarity with backend systems or full-stack development practices.
• Experience working closely with Product and UX teams to refine ambiguous requirements.
• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs.
• Experience with Playwright.
• Experience building or maintaining GitHub Actions pipelines.
• Knowledge of the financial sector or wealth management.
• Exposure to mentoring, performance feedback, or lightweight people management responsibilities.

Why Join Us

• Work with modern technologies on challenging and meaningful engineering problems.
• Build products alongside talented, experienced, and collaborative engineers.
• Join autonomous teams with a high level of trust, ownership, and accountability.
• Enjoy a flexible working environment with flexible hours, hybrid working (up to 2 days remote per week), and an open office culture.
• Take part in a friendly and social office environment, including a playroom/cafeteria with table football, video game consoles, and complimentary drinks.
