Front End Technical Chief of Staff

**Our Values**

BudSense is built from the ground up using our unique cannabis retail industry experience. We are a value driven organization fueled by our customers' pain points, current needs, and future ambitions. BudSense’s value structure is built around humility, empowerment, and collaboration.

**The Position**

As a Front End Technical Chief of Staff at BudSense, you’ll be responsible for keeping our front-end team aligned, productive, and unblocked. You’ll split your time between contributing code and coordinating the work of others—balancing feature delivery with process improvements that help us ship faster and more reliably.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the value of structure and follow-through. You’ll own front end sprint planning and team workflows, help triage incoming requests, and ensure that development work is clearly prioritized and well executed. You’ll also play a key role in maintaining consistency in our codebase, reviewing contributions, and helping teammates improve the quality of their work.

You’ll work directly with the CTO to ensure that the roadmap is achievable, and that our front-end output meets both internal standards and external needs. This is not a high-level strategy or pure architecture role—it’s a roll-up-your-sleeves position built around keeping people and code moving

This position is ideal for two types of people:

- A **talented front-end developer** who naturally gravitates toward organization and leadership—and is ready to take the next step into a hybrid technical-management role.
- Or a **CTO-type leader** who enjoys staying hands-on with code and wants to re-engage with development while still contributing their operational experience to support a growing team.

If you’re comfortable balancing code with coordination and want to make a tangible impact on how things get built and delivered, we’d love to hear from you

**The Necessary Skills**
- Excellent communication and management skills
- Ability to translate technical complexity into actionable direction for your team
- Confident with GitHub pull requests, code reviews, and collaborative development
- Understanding of MVC and MVVM architectural patterns
- Display a mastery of reactive programming concepts, specifically RxJS
- Display a mastery of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and polymorphism
- Ability to interface with REST API using Postman
- Experience working in multiple software environments
- A critical eye for detail to ensure bugs are caught and fixed in staging environment
- Experience using project management software, specifically Jira
- Experience using source control in a team based workflow, specifically code reviews using GitHub
