L1 Frontend Engineer

OpenFX moves real money across global corridors. Customers rely on our web products to get accurate pricing, understand fees, complete transactions confidently, and track money movement in real time. A small UI bug, misleading copy, or broken state can lead to failed transactions, support load, or loss of trust.

As we scale, we need engineers who can build clean, reliable, and intuitive user experiences on top of complex backend systems without introducing risk or confusion.

We are hiring Frontend Engineers who can ship user facing features, integrate safely with backend APIs, and take ownership of product quality.

If we do not invest in strong frontend foundations early,will not translate into customer trust or business outcomes.

In your first 6 to 12 months, you will:

1. Build and own user facing flows such as pricing and quotes, transaction creation, payment status tracking, and history views.
2. Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs in a safe, predictable, and debuggable way.
3. Handle complex UI states correctly including loading, retries, partial failures, and eventual consistency.
4. Improve reliability and clarity of critical flows by reducing user errors, unclear states, and support tickets.
5. Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Backend engineers to translate requirements into shipped features.
6. Improve key frontend metrics such as conversion rate, drop off, page performance, and error rates.

You will be measured on:

• Correctness of user flows: UI reflects backend truth and does not mislead users
• Product quality: Screens are fast, clear, accessible, and intuitive
• Execution: Features are shipped on time with minimal rework
• Ownership: Bugs are fixed fully, not just patched
• Collaboration: Works well with designers, PMs, and backend engineers

Required (Non negotiable):

• 0 to 3 years experience building frontend applications
• Strong fundamentals in TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
• Experience with a modern frontend framework (React preferred)
• Basic understanding of REST APIs and async programming
• Attention to detail and user experience
• Ability to explain implementation choices clearly
• Familiarity with modern frontend build tools and workflows (e.g., Vite, Webpack, Parcel)
• Basic understanding of bundling, code splitting, and asset optimization

Preferred (Accelerates ramp, not required):

• Experience with TypeScript
• Familiarity with frontend performance and accessibility
• Experience working on production products
• Exposure to fintech or transactional products

Impact: You build the interfaces customers use to move real money.

Learning: You gain exposure to complex systems early in your career.

Ownership: You own features end to end, from UI to API integration.

Growth: Clear path to grow into senior frontend or fullstack roles.

Support: You work closely with experienced engineers and designers.
