newboxes builds systems that enable better industrial decisions. We operate at the intersection of engineering, risk, cost, and program governance. In addition to our consulting services, we develop digital systems that structure complexity in industrial environments. Our platform initiatives focus on:
We build software that supports real engineering organizations - not consumer apps.
We are looking for a Lead Frontend Engineer to take ownership of our frontend and help shape how it grows as the team expands. You will be our first dedicated frontend engineer, responsible for our Vue 3 design system and the product interfaces built on top of it.
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will spend a substantial part of your time building product features and design-system components yourself, while also setting frontend standards and guiding how the interface evolves.
You will work closely with our product owner, full-stack developers, and domain experts. We care about more than implementation quality. We want someone who thinks in systems, understands how users make decisions, and designs interfaces that help engineering and program teams work effectively with complex data.
You'll be one of the first set of Software engineers on the ground in Chennai GCC of newboxes, Germany; building product interfaces alongside a small, high-ownership team. The core ask is straightforward: the right frontend stack, and the ability to take a software requirement and own it end-to-end through the SDLC. Domain exposure (Industrial Systems & Decision Intelligence) is a bonus, not a prerequisite — we look for strong engineering fundamentals and grow the domain knowledge on the job.
Understand software requirements and take full ownership through the SDLC — design, build, test, deploy, monitor and maintain
Build and ship user-facing features end-to-end, from component design through to production
Grow the Vue 3 component/design system into documented, tested, production-ready components
Collaborate directly with product and the backend engineer to turn requirements into working software
Contribute to frontend coding standards and review practices as the team grows
Work async-first with the Germany-based team, with overlap hours for key syncs

Location: Chennai / Hybrid
Work from our office in Chennai and/or in Hybrid mode
Close daily collaboration with our team in Germany, with at least 4 to 5 hours of overlap
You will work closely with product, engineering, and domain experts rather than in isolation
We build products for the long term and value getting things right over shipping fast
Best in the Industry Compensation
30 days paid vacation per year
High technical ownership & long-term architectural responsibility
Modern tech environment
Direct, visible impact — your work shapes the product from day one, not buried in a massive codebase
