  • Ensure seamless integration with backend systems (payment routing, fraud prevention, ledgers).

  • Mentor engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and code reviews.

Who You Are
  • 8+ years of frontend experience, including React, TypeScript, GraphQL, or similar frameworks.

  • Expertise in building secure, performant, and scalable applications for high-traffic products.

  • Experience designing complex interfaces for financial or commerce systems.

  • Familiar with integrating frontend apps with real-time APIs and backend services.

  • Strong product sensibility and ability to advocate for user-centered design.

Nice to Have
  • Experience with mobile SDKs, payments UIs (e.g., checkout flows, tokenized wallets).

  • Familiarity with PCI-compliant frontend patterns and secure data handling.

  • Contributions to design systems or frontend open-source libraries.

Benefits Upon Successful Conversion to Full Time Employee:

  • Comprehensive health coverage: Medical, dental and vision
  • Remote-first workplace
  • Time away: Minimum of 20 days guaranteed PTO, paid holidays + floating holidays, your birthday off!
  • Paid parental leave
  • Competitive Pay
  • Retirement plans
  • Virtual and in-person team & company events
