We're building the next generation of cross-border fintech infrastructure — powering payments, KYC, and global merchant experiences.
As a Mid-Level Frontend Engineer (2–4 years), you'll ship user-facing features and internal tooling across our product surfaces — checkouts, merchant dashboards, compliance and operations workflows, and the systems our partners and internal teams rely on every day.
This is a product-focused IC role. You'll work closely with a senior engineer, product, design, and domain partners to deliver features that directly move customer and business outcomes.
What You'll DoShip features end-to-end
• Build production-grade React + TypeScript interfaces across checkout, dashboards, and internal workflows.
• Own the FE side of each ticket: scope clarification, data contracts with backend, edge cases, testing, release.
• Build data-heavy UIs — filter-heavy tables, detail views, workflow screens, configuration surfaces.
Work at a healthy cadence with AI
• Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) for non-trivial work. We expect this on day one.
• Review AI output critically — catch bugs, security issues, and wrong abstractions before they land.
• Ask good clarifying questions when a ticket is ambiguous. Flag risks early.
Participate in the FE pod
• Contribute to code reviews across FE work.
• Take part in FE pod standards discussions, platform planning, and retros.
• Raise issues that hurt the team's velocity — inconsistent patterns, shared-package friction, testing gaps.
What We're Looking ForExperience• 2–4 years of professional frontend development experience.
• Shipped production React + TypeScript code in a real codebase. Tutorials and personal projects don't count.
• Demonstrated stability (1.5+ years in at least one role preferred).
Technical Strength• Solid React fundamentals — hooks, composition, component boundaries, lifecycle and state clarity.
• Strong TypeScript — comfortable with generics, discriminated unions, inference, and typing real-world data.
• Server-state with TanStack Query and client-state with Zustand. (We don't use Redux.)
• Vite build toolchain.
• Turborepo monorepo familiarity (or willingness to learn quickly).
• Vitest + Playwright for testing. Knows the difference between a unit test and a meaningful one.
• Comfortable building data-heavy UIs — tables, filters, detail views, dashboards. Understands pagination, virtualization, optimistic updates.
Product & domain• Security-aware — comfortable working on flows that handle PII, tokens, and financial data. Follows team conventions for cross-origin messaging, sensitive data logging, and access controls.
• Product sense developing — pushes back when a UX decision feels wrong, even politely.
• Clear communicator — asks questions early, flags trade-offs, writes PRs a reviewer can actually review.
Nice to Have• Exposure to fintech, payments, compliance, or risk products.
• Experience with design systems (Storybook, component libraries).
• Backend basics (REST, understanding auth/token flows).
• DevOps awareness (CI/CD, basic deployment concepts).
How We WorkWe're a small, high-ownership team where engineers:
• Own features end-to-end — not just tickets.
• Ship fast, but with a strong focus on quality.
• Work directly with founders and leadership.
• Build systems used in real production environments by merchants and regulators.
What We Value• Ownership: takes initiative and drives outcomes.
• Frontend Craft: cares deeply about performance, UX, and quality.
• Pragmatism: balances speed with long-term maintainability.
• Curiosity: open to learning new domains — payments, compliance, platform.
• Honesty: clear about what they know and where they're growing.
Why This RoleThis is a high-impact role for engineers who want to:
• Build fintech products where correctness and trust matter.
• Work on data-heavy, workflow-driven UIs that shape real business outcomes.
• Grow under the mentorship of a senior FE engineer and an engaged FE pod.
• Be part of a team that ships quickly and improves how payments infrastructure is built globally.
