Frontend Tech Lead
Plaee is a leading provider of turnkey technology for the next generation of Prediction Markets. We help operators launch and scale platforms fast, with deep liquidity and cutting-edge trading technology. Our dual-track solution spans a fully CFTC-regulated US infrastructure and a global DeFi platform with self-custodial, on-chain execution. PlaeeOS unifies back-office, CRM, and BI into a single command center, giving operators real-time data to drive personalized engagement and loyalty.
Role DescriptionThis is a full-time, on-site role based in our Ramat Gan office. As Frontend Tech Lead, you'll own the architecture and technical direction of our user-facing platform — a widget ecosystem of embeddable, configuration-driven components deployed across many operator sites. You'll set technical standards, make the high-leverage architectural calls, and mentor a team of frontend engineers while staying hands-on in the code.This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment and wants to shape how a complex frontend system scales.
- What You'll DoLead frontend architecture for a large React/TypeScript monorepo — set patterns, draw the boundaries between shared libraries and applications, and keep the codebase scalable as it grows.
- Own the embeddable widget ecosystem — design reusable web components that operators can drop into any site, with clean APIs, theming, and runtime configuration.
- Design configuration-driven systems — build the framework that lets widgets be customized (branding, behavior, i18n, feature flags) without code changes per operator.
- Drive component-driven development — champion a strong, documented component library (Storybook) and design-system discipline.
- Set and enforce engineering standards — code quality, performance budgets, testing, and review practices.
- Mentor and unblock the team — review designs and PRs, grow engineers, and lead by example in the code.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and backend to turn requirements into well-architected, performant features.
- Own performance and reliability — profile, troubleshoot, and optimize across responsive, real-time interfaces.
- Qualifications7+ years of frontend development experience, with a track record of technical leadership (tech lead, lead engineer, or architect).
- Deep expertise in TypeScript and React, including advanced patterns, state management, and performance optimization.
- Proven experience architecting complex frontend systems — module/monorepo structure, shared component libraries, and clear separation of concerns.
- Hands-on experience building reusable components or embeddable widgets (web components / custom elements a strong plus).
- Experience designing configuration- or data-driven UIs that adapt behavior without code changes.
