- Lead and mentor the front-end engineering team to ensure the delivery of high-quality and performant code
- Work closely with the design head and own our in-house component library across all of our products
- Collaborate with product managers, designers, architects, and other leads to plan out the technical execution of new products and major features

Our take
Company intranets have existed for as long as the internet has, yet these virtual environments remain clunky, generalised and over-saturated with unnecessary features.
Simpplr develops purpose-built intranet systems that aim to provide simple communication within a workforce. The startup's intranet system stands out by using AI to analyse the activities of a digital workforce, using this information to offer a wide range of services. This includes alerting employees to critical top-down communications, keeping them socially connected and helping them find the documents that they are looking for.
Simpplr won the award for "best mid-size company to work" from Built In 2023, signifying a US workplace culture that goes above and beyond. It also saw a refreshing of its leadership team in 2022, adding industry leader Parag Kulkarni as CTO and former CMO of award-winning Netbase Quid, Paige Leidig, as its Chief Marketing Officer. These updates indicate a company that keeps its employees happy and constantly looks for new directions to take its product.
