Role description

We're building tools that help people think better together, and we need a Frontend Lead to help define what AI-native engineering looks like for our team. You'll join us during an exciting strategic shift as we migrate from React to Nuxt/Vue, rebuilding our frontend with modern architecture and AI-assisted workflows baked in from day one. This isn't just a framework migration—it's an opportunity to establish engineering standards that will scale with us while working closely with our established Ruby on Rails backend. As our Frontend Lead, you'll own the entire frontend ecosystem: driving the migration, setting architectural standards, mentoring teammates, and using AI tools as genuine force multipliers for quality and speed. You'll work directly with our VP of Operations in a flat organization where your technical decisions rapidly translate into company strategy. We expect you to actively shape how AI is used in our engineering workflow—using LLMs, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor as daily instruments for refactoring, debugging, and architecture exploration. Beyond the browser, you'll take operational ownership, understanding how code is built, tested, and deployed, with Kubernetes literacy for debugging production environments. Our product helps people understand how they think and work, and our engineering team embodies those same values: cognitive curiosity, intentional collaboration, and challenging assumptions about how work gets done. This is a high-leverage role where you'll influence product and operational direction far beyond a typical IC position. We're looking for someone who sees AI not as a shortcut, but as a tool that reshapes what great engineering means—someone excited to help answer that question with us. You'll report directly to the VP of Operations and work closely with our Senior Engineering team, building an engineering culture that stays honest about what humans do best and how AI can amplify that work.

What we do

Herrmann is the company behind Whole Brain® Thinking and the HBDI® (Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument) — the leading assessment for cognitive diversity, used by Fortune 500s, universities, and governments for over 40 years. We help managers and teams communicate, decide, and solve problems better by understanding how different people think.

Why work for us

You'd be a senior IC on a small engineering team, owning significant surface area on the platforms that deliver HBDI to a global enterprise customer base. The work has real impact — organizations make hiring, team-design, and leadership decisions based on what you ship. You'll work directly with the VP of Operations, with no layers of middle management between you and the decisions that matter.

Our culture

We're remote-first and async-friendly. Cognitive diversity isn't just our product — it's how we work. We expect engineers to bring clear thinking, push back on bad ideas with evidence, and mentor each other generously.

Our engineering process

Our backend runs on Ruby on Rails with Kubernetes infrastructure. Our frontend is currently React, and we're actively migrating to Vue 3 / Nuxt 3 — which is exactly why we're hiring. You'd be leading that migration, so deep Vue expertise is essential, and you'll need working React knowledge to read the existing codebase and translate it cleanly. We're AI-native: every engineer uses Cursor, Copilot, and LLMs as a daily part of their workflow, and we expect the same from new hires. We ship continuously, review code in small PRs, and lean on automated testing over heavy process.
