Frontend/UI Tech Lead @ Tune Insight (scale up), Lausanne, Switzerland (On-site/Hybrid, 80-100%) 

About Us 

At Tune Insight, our vision is to transform healthcare data collaboration without compromising security or privacy. Sensitive data should never need to move or be exposed to unlock its value. Our federated platform enables healthcare and life science organizations to collaborate on sensitive data and AI models while keeping full control over their data and intellectual property. By ensuring that raw data remains protected and never revealed, we empower clinical and pharmaceutical research to accelerate discoveries and improve patient outcomes.

The Role

As our Frontend/UI Tech Lead, you will be the cornerstone of our frontend engineering. You won't just be writing code; you will be defining how we write it. In a small dynamic team, your impact will be immediate and visible. You will play a pivotal role, interacting tightly with design, product, and engineering, ensuring our platform is scalable, performant, and delightful to use.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect & Decide: Take full ownership of the frontend architecture. You will evaluate and select the appropriate frameworks, libraries, and tools that best fit our long-term goals.
• Lead & Mentor: Foster a culture of technical excellence. You will guide junior developers, conduct code reviews, and set coding standards.
• Build: Spend a significant portion of your time coding. You will tackle the most complex challenges and build reusable components.
• Collaborate: Work closely with our Head of Engineering, Product Manager, and other Team Leads to translate requirements into technical reality.
• Scale: optimize application performance and ensure our UI codebase can reliably scale as our team and user base grow.

We are looking for

• Experience: 5+ years in frontend development and proven leadership skills.
• Tech Stack Authority: Deep expertise in modern TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems. Whether you champion React, Vue, or Svelte, you must be able to justify your choices with solid reasoning.
• Tooling Wizardry: Proficiency with build tools (Webpack, Vite), testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Design Sensibility: You don't need to be a designer, but you must speak their language. Experience with Figma is a plus.
• Soft Skills: You are a team player who communicates clearly. You are comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced environment where requirements may evolve.
• Language: Fluency in English is required; French is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Meaningful Work: Your code protects real patient data and enables life-saving research.
• Lausanne Hub: Work in the center of Europe’s Health Valley.
• Impact: In a team of <20, you aren't a cog in a machine. You are building the machine.

• Appreciate challenging yourself out of your comfort zone and enjoy change.
• Are comfortable taking responsibility and being accountable for outcomes.
