About these roles

Lead frontend is one of the more loosely-defined senior bands — at some companies it's a staff IC owning the design system and a11y program across a product, at others it's a player-coach managing 3-5 ICs while still shipping. The common thread is that you're expected to set technical direction for a frontend surface (or several), not just execute against a spec. Strong candidates have deep React or Vue + TypeScript + browser-platform fluency, plus opinions on testing strategy, perf budgets, and Core Web Vitals. Comp ranges $190-285k US base, £110-165k London, with equity adding another 15-30% at scale-ups. Interviews emphasise system design and architecture review over leetcode at this band — many processes skip algorithmic rounds entirely.
