Senior Frontend Engineer / Technical Lead

Do you want to not only build frontend solutions but also provide direction on how we will develop our websites and digital platforms in the coming years?

What you should know about us?

We are Athora Netherlands, an insurance company with the well-known brands Zwitserleven and Reaal. We are primarily involved in pensions and life insurance in the Dutch market. We do this as part of a European group with offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, and Italy. We are a strong company with over a million customers, and we aim to grow into one of the key players in the rapidly changing pension market in the coming years. That's why we are looking for people who are not afraid of change, who know how to get things done, who have the ambition to deliver results, and who therefore get the best out of themselves and their team. Smarter together, we call that.

What will you do?

For our Websites & Portals Platform team, we are looking for an experienced frontend engineer who combines technical leadership with strong hands-on knowledge of Angular. Someone who looks ahead, can establish a frontend vision and roadmap, and can bring other teams along with the technical direction.
So, you are not just the one who can solve complex frontend issues. You also help determine where we are going, which technical choices we make, and how different development teams collaborate within that course.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer / Technical Lead, you will play a central role in the further development of our frontend platform.

You will be involved in, among other things:

- defining and communicating the technical vision and roadmap for frontend;
- further developing and modernizing the frontend platform;
- developing reusable platform components for our websites and digital customer environments;
- making and monitoring technical and architectural choices;
- hands-on development with Angular and TypeScript;
- providing substantive direction to developers and development teams using the platform;
- monitoring standards, quality, maintainability, and coherence;
- translating needs from different teams into future-proof technical solutions;
- collaborating with solution teams, architecture, security, and infrastructure, among others.

This involves more than just software development. You will help determine the technical direction of the frontend landscape and ensure that this direction is actually adopted within the organization. What makes this role interesting? You get the chance to make an impact on multiple levels. Sometimes you dive into the technology yourself. Other times, you discuss an architectural choice, work on the roadmap, or help another team implement a solution within the platform effectively. You look beyond the individual issue. You constantly ask yourself: how can we make the platform simpler, more consistent, more scalable, and more future-proof?
