Job Description

Front-end Lead at Curie – a Europe-based platform transforming academic research

Curie is a self-funded, fast-moving European startup building a next-generation research collaboration platform — a cross between ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and GitHub. Designed for students and professors, Curie combines powerful collaborative features with advanced reading capabilities (PDF, ePub, HTML), semantic search, and performance-driven UX. The internal alpha launch is in a few weeks, with private beta and public release following shortly after.

We’re looking for a Front-end Lead who is obsessed with performance, detail, and technical quality — not just aesthetics — and wants to build something truly useful at scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead frontend development and take ownership of the UI architecture and component design

  • Build fast, technically robust, and elegant user interfaces using React and Next.js

  • Optimize performance, loading speed, and responsiveness for heavy user loads

  • Work closely with the backend, ML, and product teams to ship features quickly

  • Implement collaborative UI components, a custom PDF reader, and other complex interface elements

  • Ensure technical excellence across browsers, platforms, and devices

What you'll bring

  • Expert-level experience in React and Next.js

  • Proven ability to create high-performance , highly optimized frontend applications

  • Strong focus on the technical quality of frontend code: architecture, scalability, speed

Bonus Points

  • Experience with Electron.js , React Native , or similar frameworks for native desktop/mobile support

  • Familiarity with the Mantine component library

  • Exposure to Node.js and Fastify (their backend stack)

  • Background in B2C products with a large user base or high performance requirements

What We Offer

  • Full-time job (8 working hours per day, Monday-Friday). Please note that we won’t consider candidates planning to combine this job with another one.

  • Remote work. You may be located in almost any country, just need a good Internet connection, a computer to work from, and the opportunity to adjust your working schedule for the team.

  • A fast-paced, ambitious environment with massive product ownership.

  • Close collaboration with a high-caliber founding team.

  • Opportunity to shape a product that could become the go-to platform for academic collaboration.

  • Competitive salary, paid in USD.


Application deadline: ASAP

Please note that the later you apply - the more intensive your selection process will be, for example, you will have less time for the test assignment, etc.

1. Fill in the application form - attach your CV;

2. Have a Zoom interview with Hire5 Recruiter;

3. Have a technical interview with the lead developers from Curie;

4. Have a final Zoom interview with the founder, Filip Victor;

5. Get hired!
