[Remote] Software Engineering Manager - Frontend

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Spectrio is a digital signage provider that empowers over 150,000 global locations to enhance customer experiences. The Frontend Engineering Manager will lead a team of Frontend Engineers in developing web applications for the Digital Signage Content Management System, ensuring high quality and modern architecture.

Responsibilities

• Stay in the Code: Write, review, and ship production Angular alongside the team; keep a meaningful share of your time hands-on
• Own frontend architecture - standalone components, Signals-based state, zoneless change detection, modern control flow (@if/@for/@switch), and a clear state-management strategy (NgRx / NgRx Signals)
• Lead incremental migration from legacy Angular (v10–v12, Akita, Karma/Jasmine) into the modern stack (Angular 20, Jest + Angular Testing Library) without big-bang rewrites or stalling feature delivery
• Drive consistency and reuse with Angular Material and a shared component library
• Own a layered testing approach across unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; set coverage expectations and keep suites fast and reliable
• Build and maintain automated pipelines (GitHub Actions) for linting, testing, builds, and deploys to AWS and Cloudflare
• Enforce ESLint, Prettier, Husky pre-commit hooks, and a healthy PR review culture
• Own bundle size, lazy loading, change-detection efficiency, and Core Web Vitals; profile and eliminate bottlenecks
• Build UIs that stay responsive at scale - large datasets, high-volume real-time streams, and large device fleets - and validate behavior under load
• Design resilient real-time integrations using WebSockets, MQTT, and Server-Sent Events (SSE) for device-to-cloud and live dashboard scenarios
• Champion secure coding practices and support SOC 2 controls - secure SSO/OAuth/OIDC flows, safe token handling, XSS/CSRF protection, Content Security Policy, and least-privilege access
• Manage dependency and supply-chain risk (SCA, vulnerability remediation, secrets hygiene) across the frontend and CI/CD pipeline
• Help produce evidence and uphold change-management and access controls required for audits
• Regular touchpoints focused on career growth, unblocking, and building trust
• Set expectations, deliver continuous feedback, and write formal performance reviews
• Run technical screens, raise the bar, onboard new talent, and manage exits or PIPs when needed
• Partner with the team to refine, estimate, and deliver a predictable backlog; track team health and KPIs (velocity, cycle time)
• Collaborate with backend, device, in-reality, and product leaders on API contracts, architecture, and technical cohesion
• Serve as a point person for high-priority production issues affecting the frontend
• Monitor daily workflow, task assignment, and output quality for a designated team of employees and/or contractors
• Conduct regular one-on-one meetings to provide coaching, feedback, and professional development guidance
• Review and approve timecards, leave requests, and expense reports in alignment with company policy
• Identify bandwidth issues and redistribute tasks to ensure project deadlines are met without burnout
• Participate in the interview process for potential new hires or contractors and provide formal feedback/recommendations to the hiring manager
• Maintain objective records of performance wins and challenges to support annual reviews or formal PIPs (Performance Improvement Plans)
• Identify conduct or performance issues and provide documented recommendations for corrective action to the Reporting Manager
• Ensure all team members and contractors understand and adhere to departmental SOPs and company-wide policies
• Provide regular status updates to the Manager regarding team health, project milestones, and any personnel risks
• Lead the functional onboarding process for new contractors or employees to ensure they have the tools and knowledge to be successful
• Perform final technical reviews or "spot checks" on the team's work before escalating it to the Manager
