About Oolio


At Oolio, we’re reimagining what hospitality software can do. From powering mission-critical payments to enabling seamless order flows across kiosks, QR, POS, and beyond—we’re building the operating system for modern hospitality.


We’re looking for a Staff Engineer (Frontend) to help drive technical direction, own critical front-end systems, and partner with product and design to deliver high-quality, scalable experiences.


You will set the bar for engineering excellence, lead architectural decisions, mentor engineers across squads, and champion world-class usability, performance, and reliability across our front-end stack.


This is a hands-on, high-impact leadership role — shaping our front-end platform, accelerating developer experience, and guiding our vision for modern, AI-powered product interfaces.


What you will do


Technical Leadership & Execution

  • Lead architecture and delivery of complex, high-impact front-end initiatives and shared UI systems
  • Design and evolve scalable, modular front-end architectures and codebases across multiple product surfaces
  • Own core front-end infrastructure, micro-frontend patterns, and shared component libraries
  • Build high-performing, secure, accessible, and responsive interfaces with exceptional UX quality
  • Ensure high coverage with automated testing, type-safe systems, and robust release pipelines


Platform & Developer Experience

  • Drive front-end platform improvements including tooling, performance, observability, and CI/CD workflows
  • Establish coding standards, documentation practices, and frontend governance models.
  • Champion fast, reliable, AI-assisted developer workflows and efficient local dev environments


Cross-Functional Influence

  • Collaborate deeply with Product, Design, and Engineering leads to define the frontend roadmap
  • Lead technical discovery, RFCs, architectural reviews, and cross-team platform initiatives
  • Drive accessibility, internationalisation, performance, and usability best practices


Mentorship & Culture

  • Provide mentorship and technical coaching to engineers across squads
  • Champion engineering quality, customer empathy, and continuous improvement
  • Lead by example — solving hard problems, unblocking teams, and elevating engineering standards


What you'll need?


  • 10-12 years of overall product development experience only
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining large-scale SaaS front ends using React, Typescript, and modern web technologies. Familiarity with Remix, Next.js, Storybook, and design systems is a bonus
  • You bring knowledge of web application architecture, performance optimisation, accessibility, and user-centric design. You’re comfortable “owning” the quality and standard of solutions delivered
  • Experience in POS, payments, or mission-critical SaaS products
  • Experience with micro-frontends, edge delivery, secure browser apps, offline-capable systems
  • You’ve contributed to shaping internal engineering practices or frameworks, led significant technical initiatives, and coached peers or juniors to higher quality and autonomy
  • Strong experience with CI/CD, automated testing, telemetry, and production monitoring of front-end systems
  • Strong product mindset — balancing shipping velocity with long-term quality and maintainability
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing cross-team technical direction


Why Oolio?


  • Work on mission-critical systems powering thousands of hospitality businesses
  • Join a team that values engineering excellence, autonomy, and continuous learning
  • Competitive salary, flexible work, and the chance to have real impact at scale
  • Take part in our annual Hackathons, driving innovation and creativity
  • Access a yearly learning & development budget to invest in your growth
