Position: Lead Frontend Developer
Location: Fully remote, within GMT (London) up to GMT+8 (Singapore) time zones
Schedule: Full-time
Salary: Daily rate ranging $300 - $500 / day, depending on experience and qualifications
Contract Type: Independent contractor (you must be able to invoice Parseur)
Vacation: 20 to 40 leave days per year (unpaid)
What You’ll Do
You'll replace our co-founder as Lead Frontend Developer.
You’ll be responsible for maintaining and evolving both the Parseur web app (React SPA) and our marketing site (custom static site), ensuring world-class user experience and design consistency.
App (React SPA) development
- Implement new features, design, improve UX/UI, and fix bugs
- Collaborate with the backend team on API integrations
- Maintain code quality, performance, and test coverage
- Note: This is a 10-year-old React app that still uses some “vintage” libraries like Redux, Redux-Form, and React 16. You should be comfortable working with these older technologies at first. Over time, you’ll help modernize the codebase, carefully and pragmatically, keeping things simple and avoiding unnecessary new dependencies.
Marketing static site development
- Develop and maintain the marketing static site and landing pages in collaboration with product and content teams
- Design high-converting, mobile-responsive pages
- Optimize for Technical SEO, GEO and Conversion
Additional technical contributions
- Handle Level 3 support: investigate technical issues reported by Customer Success, collaborate with backend team on fixes
- Maintain and enhance public technical documentation (e.g., API references, developer guides)
- Take part in the on-call roster (roughly one week per month, and yes, you’ll get paid extra for it)
- Optionally act as a backup for the backend dev (depending on your profile)
About You
This role comes with a lot of autonomy and responsibilities. We’re looking for senior developer with high agency (self-starter, curious and autonomous).
Mandatory
- 5+ years of experience (or equivalent skills) with JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS, Tailwind, Node.js, and REST APIs
- Demonstrable experience designing landing/product pages that convert
- Proven experience creating responsive, mobile-first web designs
- Excellent in written and spoken English
- Excellent communicator and team player
Preferred
- Experience in B2B SaaS environments
- Familiarity with frontend testing frameworks (React Testing Library, jsdom, Playwright)
- Knowledge of CRO principles, SEO and GEO
- Experience with i18n and localization
- Some exposure to Python/Django backend
- Experience with async and remote collaboration
Nice to Have
- Visual design or animation skills (CSS animations, Canva, Photopea, etc.)
- Experience with serverless architectures (we use Cloudflare Workers)
- Familiarity with automation platforms (Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate)
Why Join Us?
- Impact: You’ll be joining a small, senior team where your work directly shapes the user experience for thousands of businesses.
- Autonomy: You’ll take full ownership of the user-facing experience across Parseur’s app and website.
- Flexibility: Work remotely in autonomy with few meetings (1-2 per week).
- Growth & Rewards: We value and reward loyalty. Long-term collaborators are recognized for their impact through yearly rate raises and profit-sharing.
- Adventure: We host an annual one-week team retreat somewhere in the world for brainstorming, building, and bonding.
How We Work?
We’re a remote-first company that values asynchronous communication and deep work. We collaborate using Slack and Notion, and keep meetings to a minimum, usually on Mondays.
We like to keep things simple. Your success won’t be measured by how much code you write, but by how elegantly you can solve problems. The best solution is often the simplest one, fewer lines of code, fewer moving parts, fewer dependencies, and easier maintenance. You’ll earn praise for removing unnecessary complexity from our codebase, and removing dependencies from our package.json, not adding to it.

The successful candidate will go through a simple 5-steps process:
Step 1: Send your application to [email protected] and include:
- Your LinkedIn profile or resume
- Link to a 1-minute video of you telling us why you’d be a great fit
- Links to landing pages you’re proud of
- Links to React apps or projects you’re proud of
- Confirmation that you are able to invoice Parseur as an independent contractor
Step 2: Interview with Cofounders (Sylvain and Sylvestre).
Step 3: Technical interview with backend team.
