Join Tillster as Head of Front-End Engineering At Tillster, we build digital experiences behind the world’s biggest restaurant brands. Ordering, loyalty, personalization — we help millions of guests connect with their favorite food, wherever they are. Now, we’re looking for a Head of Front-End Engineering / Front-End Architect to lead the charge across web and mobile platforms. You’ll be hands‑on, strategic, and obsessed with creating fast, scalable, and beautiful user experiences.

What You’ll Do

Architect cross‑platform experiences using React, Next.js, and React Native.

Scale our shared design system across apps and platforms.

Lead our monorepo strategy with Turborepo or Nx.

Optimize performance across SEO, accessibility, caching, and bundle size.

Integrate analytics and experimentation without compromising speed.

Work alongside product, DevOps, and design to ship quality at scale.

What Makes You Stand Out

You’ve led high‑performing front‑end teams.

You love building things that scale — and mentoring others to do the same.

You see React/Next.js as more than a framework — they’re part of your toolbox.

You’ve architected systems used by millions.

You thrive in fast‑paced, agile environments.

You still love to write code, not just lead teams.

What We’re Looking For

8–10+ years in software engineering with team leadership.

Experience across both web and mobile ecosystems.

Track record of building scalable apps and design systems.

Comfort leading architectural decisions and shipping production code.

Strong communicator across technical and business audiences.

BS/MS in CS or equivalent real‑world experience.

Why Tillster? We power the digital layer of the restaurant industry, supporting brands you’ve definitely ordered from. We’re rethinking the guest journey — with personalization, speed, and delight at every touchpoint. Work with innovators worldwide, shaping a platform used by millions, and actually see your work in the wild.

Ready to Architect the Future? If you’re passionate about performance, scale, and great design — and love rolling up your sleeves while leading from the front — this is your next big move.
