Why Join
You own the front end outright: the architecture, the design system, the standards the code is written to. The business is scaling, so what you ship now shapes the product for years, and you see it in the field the moment the gates open.
The management load is light. You'll mentor one or two developers, no more, so this is a chance to grow into technical leadership without stepping away from building. A strong senior who is almost there suits this better than someone who already runs a large team.
It suits someone who wants autonomy and accountability over process. If you need heavy structure and long sign-off chains, this isn't the seat.
