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

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 (If you’re that person, you’ll truly enjoy working at Timbal)

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 (If that resonates with you, we’d love to meet you) :

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 egg@timbal.ai with your LinkedIn and a short note on why we should hire you.

Work alongside founders who move fast, think big, and value autonomy.

The fastest personal and professional growth of your career — guaranteed .

Our motto is simple :

GREAT PEOPLE DO GREAT THINGS, THAT’S IT.

If you’re insanely great — join us.

We’re building a team of people who want to create with purpose, who don’t just want to work on a product, but to shape what comes next.

If you’re driven by meaning, excellence, and impact.
