Frontend Lead (React & AI-Native)


Location: Aarhus HQ | The Engine Room


Join the A-Team rewriting the Operating System for Modern Cities.

Some companies build apps to deliver cold pizza. Others build social networks to scroll through. At WasteHero, we build the digital infrastructure that keeps cities alive.


From our HQ in Aarhus, we are on a mission to revolutionize a trillion-dollar industry that hasn't changed in decades. We are moving from "collecting trash" to "Data-Driven Urban Sustainability." We optimize routes for thousands of heavy trucks, save tons of CO2, and remove cars from the streets—all through code.


We are building a World-Class Engineering Team right here in Aarhus. We don't believe you need to be in Silicon Valley to build global tech. We are assembling a "Special Forces" unit of ambitious engineers, designers, and product people who believe they can fix the world's waste problem.


Now, we need a Frontend Lead to take the helm of our user experience and define the next generation of our platform.


The Role: Pioneer the "AI-First" Frontend

We are not just looking for a coder. We are looking for a Visionary Architect.

WasteHero is moving from "Hand-Coding Everything" to "AI-Accelerated Engineering". We are embracing the future of development—utilizing Generative UILovable.dev, and "Vibe Coding" methodologies.


You will lead this transformation. You will define how we blend rock-solid React architecture with the lightning speed of AI generation to deliver value 10x faster than our competitors.


What You Will Own

  • The Architecture of Impact: You decide the technical strategy. You ensure our platform is robust enough to handle data from 50+ countries but flexible enough to evolve daily.

  • The AI-Native Workflow: You are the pilot. You integrate tools like Lovable and Copilot into our dev process, slashing boilerplate time so the team can focus on complex problem-solving.

  • Bridge to Backend: You don't work in a silo. You collaborate closely with our Backend Leads to design GraphQL/REST APIs that serve the product vision perfectly.

  • The Design System: You ensure consistency. You build the component library that makes our platform look and feel "World Class" across all modules.

  • Mentorship: You are the technical captain for the frontend team across our hubs. You raise the bar for everyone around you.


Who You Are

  • A Product-Minded Engineer: You don't just close tickets. You have a desire to create applications with a clear product strategy that solve actual problems for customers. You challenge the roadmap if it doesn't make sense for the user.

  • The AI-Embracer: You see AI as a jetpack, not a threat. You are curious about the future of coding (Generative UI) and want to lead a team that is ahead of the curve.

  • React Expert: You know the rules well enough to know when AI breaks them. You understand the deep mechanics of React, TypeScript, and state management.

  • A "Builder" at Heart: You thrive in the energy of our Aarhus HQ. You want to stand at the whiteboard with the Founders and Designers and solve complex puzzles.


The Stack

  • Core: React.js, TypeScript (Non-negotiable).

  • Next-Gen Tooling: Lovable.dev, AI-assisted dev flows.

  • State & Data: Context API, GraphQL & REST.

  • Styling: Tailwind / Styled Components.


Why Join WasteHero Now?

  • The Mission: Very few jobs allow you to point at a cleaner city and say, "I helped do that." Here, you can.

  • The Rocketship: We are approaching Series A. Joining now gives you a seat at the table and a meaningful warrant package (Equity).

  • The Culture: We are "All In." We are a tight-knit team in Aarhus that celebrates wins, challenges each other, and refuses to settle for "good enough."


Are you ready to lead the charge? Join the mission.
