Qualifications

CRAFT

  1. Most Front-end Technical Leads require in-depth knowledge of enterprise solutions. We don't need that. That's a bit too much for us–this is a narrower, in-depth practice. This is a unique position at Frost. We expect you to have in-depth experience in front-end development practice – both the design and engineering sides.

  2. We expect you to know what it means to be a technical person. We expect that you know your SDLC, CSS/HTML/JS, CSS preprocessors, build and bundlers, code generators, and the like, project management life lifecycle, design patterns and architecture.

  3. You have at least 8 years of hardcore experience in developing digital products across the board. We expect you to know your way around front-end technologies. Whether it's vanilla or whatever hotshot tech stack that's available now. But one thing is clear – you know your fundamentals (box models, DOM, rendering pipelines, etc.).

  4. You have an acute attention to detail. You're not any other developer. You care about the little things – spacing, code format, git commit, comments, and the like. You appreciate what good design is and how to make it happen.

  5. You know a lot about API, middleware integration, CORS, server-side rendering, and other functional back-end integration.

  6. You have experience building fully functional applications from scratch or any existing frameworks. You've worked with cross-functional teams such as designers, business owners, product managers, co-developers, project managers, and executive stakeholders.

  7. It would be great to know about back-end stuff – database, server-side architecture, caching, and the like. There are cases that we might need that kind of experience along the way.

LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

  1. You need to have some leadership experience. You've hired, grown, and managed at least 6 - 8 people in your team.

  2. You have some operational experience on how to manage and grow a team.

  3. You know how to design processes or approach how to solve complex problems. On top of that, we expect that you know how to implement and execute them.

HERE'S A CURVEBALL

  1. We expect you to have some projects you've done in the past, not for a client but for yourself. Something open source? Or something you've worked on for the fun of it. Maybe your own framework, toolset, or something like that?

COMMUNICATION

  1. You can clearly articulate your work's process, approach, and impact in verbal, written, and visual presentations. You are comfortable with communicating in English.

  2. You have strong client-facing and internal presentation skills – You'll be talking to many people helping them solve their problems.

WHAT DOES A FROST FRONT-END TECHNICAL LEAD DO?

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Frost is growing up! And growing up comes with its own unique set of challenges and opportunities. For more than 12 years, we've operated more like a startup. We tried a lot of stuff, from designing a typical mom-and-pop shop static website to creating really complex digital products for large organizations. And after a bit of thought, we finally found where we are really good at–so we decided to become a full-fledged Interaction Design organization. And oh, boy! We are serious about it.
‍
Ok, we know we are good with design–but that's half the picture. Pretty pictures are great, but we want to make them useful for the people we designed them for. We want to enrich our current front-end development practices to tackle digital transformation's unique and ever-evolving landscape. From a development standpoint, we felt we needed a bit of a push forward. Not in a nudge kind of way. We want to go fast! Quantum leap fast. We really get excited about reinventing the face of this industry.
We work with large enterprises with really demanding requirements (and a short timeline, for that matter). And the thing about working with Frost is that our clients expect nothing but excellence in everything we do – every single time. That's a tall order for such a small company, right?
‍
So after so many years, we believe it's time to find someone who can build, transform, and lead our technical pillar to complement our strong design practice. We are adamant about finding someone with forward-thinking technical leadership, a knack for innovation, a strong design sensibility, someone who can roll up their sleeves and get things done, and a passion for growing the best freaking technical team in the country!
‍
If that doesn't get you pumped up, I don't know what will.

A Quantum

LEAP FORWARD

Frost is on the verge of a creative breakthrough – Automation. Our goal is to push towards automation to put our minds on solving complex and pressing problems rather than worry about the finer details. We want to move fast and deliver at a breakneck speed unparalleled to any in the industry. And we are looking for someone who has an appetite for change who's not afraid to push the envelope with us. This is a quantum leap forward.
‍
We envision a strong and effective technical team that's up for any challenges ahead with you onboard. You'll help us develop the practice, nurture the team, and pave the way for aspiring practitioners to be good at what they do. We should feel stronger and complete with you onboard. You complete the picture of what it means to deliver a compelling digital experience in and out. This is a big responsibility, and we are here to support you, push you further and cheer you in every way to make all it happen! Just keep in mind, this role is 12 years in the making.

IS THIS THE RIGHT JOB FOR YOU?

So how do you know if you are the one we are looking for? For starters, reading this job description makes you feel something. Getting here means you really want to know. So that's great! More than that, we also need someone who can solve problems and has a strong sense of initiative. We need someone passionate, and you know you are good at it. And you want to share that passion with others.
‍
Next, you are looking for an organization that will challenge and push you outside your comfort zone.
‍
Finally, you are looking for an opportunity where you get to grow and nurture an organization.

WHAT DOES A FROSTHEAD OF INTERACTION DESIGN DO?

You'll be part of Frost's management team–a group of leaders who'll shape the future of Frost. Your role is to translate broad executive strategies into operational and tactical initiatives that your team can work on. Though this is a management position, we are not looking for someone who leads from an ivory tower. At Frost, we roll up our sleeves, get our hands dirty and do what needs to get done– regardless of role or position. And we expect that from you.
‍
As head of interaction design, you'll oversee several clients across our portfolio, engage with them on projects, meetings, and discussions. You will be at the forefront of transforming ideas and turning them into reality. You have to grapple, ideate, sketch, push, prototype, test, iterate, learn, and ship to do this well.

With such a tall order, you need a great team! You'll lead, train, coach, and mentor a small group of designers and transform them into world-class talents. You'll collaborate alongside our content team, project managers, and developers to ship great work.
‍
You'll report directly with our Chief Creative.
‍
With you onboard, you get to explore diverse broad areas of our practice–from production, management, operations, research, and experience. You're here to elevate our design practice to world-class standards. This is a big responsibility, don't worry. We are here to support you, push you further, and cheer you on in every way to make all it happen!

THE STATE OF DESIGN AT FROST

It's been a year since we decided to fully pivot from just a Digital agency to a full-fledged Interaction design organization. Though this was 2 - 3 years in the making, this entails more than just being "more creative." We are growing fast. As exciting as it is, there are challenges and opportunities ahead. For the past 12 years, our Chief Creative has headed our design team. But this time, we need someone bold to join us to navigate this uncharted territory.
‍
Organizations are heavily investing in digital transformation initiatives. This pandemic has accelerated these programs from a typical 3 - 5 years horizon to a 6 - 12 months window. This opens a lot of opportunities for organizations like Frost to reimagine digital touchpoints at a massive scale.
‍
We work with top companies with demanding requirements (and a short timeline, for that matter). But we are in a unique position. Our teams are deeply embedded into our client's internal processes, giving us unparalleled access to practice the design discipline unlike any other agency out there.
‍
In the next 3 - 5 years, we want to be the best interaction design company in the Philippines. And we are looking for someone to lead our creative team forward and work beside our Chief Creative to transform this industry.
‍
Feeling excited? Sounds like the kind of challenge you are looking for?

ARE YOU THE ONE WE
ARE LOOKING FOR?

So how do you know if you have what it takes? For starters, we need someone creative– with good design taste and a sharp eye for details. But we also need someone who can solve problems and has a strong sense of initiative. We need someone passionate about design, and you know you are good at it. And you want to share that passion.
‍
More than that, you want to be a part of the growth of our organization. We also want you to want this job, to have that hunger to excel and do great work.
