Typically I would never disclose you are looking for another job . . . things might be chummy with your boss(es) while you're all on the same team, but once they know you're leaving they could can you on the spot, lock you out of your workstation and send you on your way.

No: Our code sucks, we need to do things the right way. Yes: If we improve this our clients will have less downtime and it will reduce churn and increase LTV. In the mean time while you're looking you could start a movement to improve things at your existing company. Maybe it would help out your friends and girlfriend's employment outlook. Most companies are receptive to hey we can improve things for the clients/subscribers by doing this, this and this. Good luck, stay on the down low.
