🚀 Lead Frontend / Product Engineer (React / Next.js) [€40k-€50k + ESOP]

Overview

We’re not just building software, we’re building the future of how companies use AI.

Our mission is to create real-world impact at a global scale by giving tomorrow’s AI teams the tools they need to thrive.

But here’s the truth : this is not the place for everyone .

We’re looking for people who think differently; ambitious, restless, sometimes even called crazy for wanting more.

People who don’t just want to code, but want to create products with meaning, impact, and purpose.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️

If that sounds like you, read on.

If not, that’s okay, this probably isn’t your place.

What We Expect From You

• Make strategic product decisions and take ownership of their impact.
• Understand the design language and coherence of the product — and build on the fly directly from that understanding. (We don’t work with mockups.)
• Be autonomous — ready to lead, make decisions, and onboard new team members.
• Have a strong business sense , understanding clients’ needs and translating them into product logic.
• Communicate efficiently and interact confidently with customers , including large enterprises.
• Be a problem-solver — bring solutions, not problems.
• Be a perfectionist who ships fast — because details make the difference.

Who You Are

• You’re not just a developer — you’re a builder .
• You understand the product end to end and thrive when making decisions that move it forward.
• You have taste, vision, and an obsession with quality.
• You go the extra mile, not because someone asks you to — but because you can’t imagine doing less.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the frontend development and own the product experience of one of our subproducts - We want you to decide!
• Translate ideas into elegant, intuitive, and high-performance interfaces.
• Collaborate closely with founders, designers, and engineers to define and execute the product vision.
• Maintain a strategic overview of the subproduct, making key design and technical decisions that shape the user experience.
• Define the look and feel on the fly : layouts, colors, animations, and interactions, bringing taste and design sensibility directly into the code.
• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code using React , Next.js , and modern frontend practices.
• Take initiative, from concept to deployment, with autonomy and ownership.
• Mentor teammates, set technical direction, and push the standard of excellence forward.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of experience building and shipping exelent products with React and Next.js
• A strong product mindset — you think beyond the code and understand how design, logic, and business decisions connect.
• A refined sense of design and UX — you care about aesthetics, clarity, and user flow.
• Proficiency in JavaScript / TypeScript, HTML, CSS , and component-driven architectures.
• Confidence to lead, decide, and take ownership without needing constant direction.
• Experience in fast-paced environments, ideally in startups or product-driven companies.
• Bonus points for familiarity with Figma , design systems, or creative collaboration workflows.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• At Timbal, there’s no roof. What matters most are results — and with them comes your success within the company.
• You’ll have real ownership and autonomy , leading the frontend and defining the visual and interactive DNA of your subproduct.
• Salary range : €40,000 – €50,000
• Phantom stock options — because we want you to grow with us.
• A team that goes the extra mile — we pursue excellence, not mediocrity.
• If you’ve read this far, send us an email at with your LinkedIn and a short note on why we should hire you.
• Work alongside founders who move fast, think big, and value autonomy.
