Frontend Engineer — Mid Level

About the Role

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 Do

Ship 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 For

Experience

• 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 Work

We'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 Role

This 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.
