Frontend Technical Lead

PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

We are seeking a Front-End Technical Lead with deep expertise in ReactJS, micro-frontend architecture, 

and design system/playbook implementation to drive the front-end strategy of our next-generation SaaS

ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT

CIMET currently provides end-to-end comparison and switching of Energy, Telco, Credit Cards, Personal loans, and residential solar plans through its online platform in a B2B and B2C environment. It presently caters to various Brands/Providers and has several Partners. This portfolio will further expand over the next 18 months across financial services (loans and insurance products). The online comparison market is extremely crowded in Australia, with most comparators providing a light-touch directory solution. CIMET saw this as an opportunity and developed a fully integrated online comparison and signup platform in 2017. Today, CIMET has around 220 resources across Australia, India, and the Philippines, and has grown to a topline of $25 million in FY2025. We have plans to list CIMET by 2030 and grow the company to a $1 bn enterprise.
