About the role

View original

We're building the next generation of cross-border fintech infrastructure — powering payments, KYC, and global merchant experiences.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer (4–6+ years), you'll play a critical role in shaping both our frontend platform and mobile SDK ecosystem. This is not just a UI role — you'll own systems that directly impact how merchants integrate and experience our products.

You'll work across web, platform, and mobile layers (React Native / Flutter), helping us build scalable, high-performance systems from the ground up.

What You'll DO

  • Build Core Product Experiences

  • • Own and build checkout SDKs across payments, investments, and KYC workflows

  • • Build and maintain SDK integrations across web, mobile, and WebView surfaces used by merchants

  • • Contribute to shared platform concerns: design system and theming (multi-tenant / white-label), monorepo and shared packages, build tooling, observability patterns

  • Drive Engineering Quality

  • • Improve performance across the stack (Core Web Vitals, rendering, bundle size)

  • • Implement best practices in testing, CI/CD, code reviews, and documentation

  • • Collaborate closely with product, design, backend, and compliance teams

  • PLATFORM + MOBILE OWNERSHIP (WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE UNIQUE)

  • • Own and manage React Native and Flutter SDKs (builds, releases, merchant support)

  • • Ensure seamless WebView compatibility across mobile checkout flows

  • • Set up and scale real-device E2E testing infrastructure

  • • Work with external partners (agencies) and gradually bring mobile capabilities in-house

  • • Contribute to shared components, design systems, and frontend platform infrastructure (~30%)

  • AS YOU GROW

  • • Architect scalable frontend systems (design systems, multi-tenant white-label, SDK distribution)

  • • Mentor engineers through code reviews and technical guidance

  • • Influence technical direction and tooling decisions

  • • Contribute to hiring and building the engineering team

What We're Looking FOR

  • EXPERIENCE

  • • 4–6+ years of professional frontend development experience

  • • Strong experience building production-grade, customer-facing applications

  • • Solid foundation in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture

  • • Demonstrated stability (2+ years in at least one role preferred)

  • TECHNICAL STRENGTH

  • • Deep expertise in React (hooks, performance, composition)

  • • Strong TypeScript — generics, discriminated unions, inference, typing real-world data

  • • State management with Zustand and TanStack Query

  • • Vite build toolchain

  • • Turborepo monorepo (or willingness to ramp quickly)

  • • Experience with testing frameworks (Vitest, Playwright)

  • • Comfortable working on SDK-based architectures — versioning, publishing, consumer-facing APIs, breaking changes, graceful fallbacks

  • • Strong understanding of performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, lazy loading, bundle analysis)

  • PLATFORM & MOBILE (CORE TO THIS ROLE)

  • • Hands-on exposure to React Native, Flutter, or mobile WebViews

  • • Understanding of WebView / native bridges and cross-platform constraints

  • • Interest in building and maintaining SDKs across web + mobile ecosystems

  • PRODUCT & DOMAIN

  • • Security-aware: comfortable working on payments and KYC flows where correctness, data handling, and cross-origin safety matter. Treats PII, tokens, and postMessage origins with appropriate care.

  • • Product sense: pushes back on briefs when the UX is wrong; distinguishes "technically correct" from "right for the user"

  • NICE TO HAVE

  • • Design systems (Storybook, component libraries)

  • • Backend basics (REST, GraphQL, Node.js)

  • • DevOps exposure (CI/CD, AWS, Docker)

  • • Prior fintech, payments, or compliance product experience

  • 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 that are used in real production environments

What WE Value

  • • Ownership: takes initiative and drives outcomes

  • • Frontend Craft: cares deeply about performance, UX, and quality

  • • Pragmatism: balances speed with long-term scalability

  • • Curiosity: open to learning mobile and platform systems

  • • 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 at scale (payments, KYC, compliance)

  • • Work across frontend + mobile + platform layers

  • • Have real ownership and influence on architecture

  • • Be part of a long-term, high-growth journey
