Lead Frontend Engineer

Meridian is seeking a Lead Frontend Engineer to guide the technical direction of their user-facing surfaces. This role involves leading a team of engineers, managing the release process, and ensuring high-quality implementation of complex features.

Responsibilities:

• Set frontend technical direction. Own architectural standards, patterns, and the code review bar across the web app, Chrome extension, Outlook add-in, and React Native mobile app. The health of the frontend codebase is your direct responsibility
• Manage the team. Run 1:1s, set goals, give feedback, hire, mentor. You own the team's performance and growth
• Own the release process across surfaces. Web app, extensions, and mobile ship on different cadences — including off-cycle deployments and Chrome Web Store/Outlook/App Store review submissions
• Ship the hardest features end-to-end. Stay hands-on. Lead implementation of the most complex, cross-cutting work, partnering with product and design. Push on polish, interaction, and perf — our users are investment professionals and they notice
• Partner across the stack. Coordinate laterally with the Backend, Infra, QA, and AI tech leads. Work closely with our Head of Product and design partners; bring frontend feasibility into design conversations early. You won't write backend code, but you'll read API contracts fluently and debug end-to-end
