Job Description

Senior Frontend Engineer
Payments & Financial Infrastructure (Remote)
A fast-scaling global payments and financial infrastructure company is building the front-end layer of how real money moves across borders .
The platform is used by SMEs and high-growth businesses to send, receive, and manage funds in real time across emerging markets, combining traditional payment networks with modern blockchain-enabled rails.
This is not consumer SaaS or a marketing site.
These interfaces sit directly on top of financial infrastructure , where clarity, accuracy, and trust matter as much as aesthetics.
The engineering team is fully distributed, product-led, and moving fast . Priorities evolve. Features ship quickly. External dependencies change. The expectation is simple: build interfaces that hold up when the stakes are real .
They are now hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to own and evolve major parts of the frontend experience.
The Role (What This Actually Involves)
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you won't just "build screens."
You'll:
Architect frontend systems that scale with a fast-growing product
Translate complex financial workflows into clear, intuitive user experiences
Own large parts of the UI that customers trust with real transactions
Balance speed with precision when requirements evolve
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, accountability, and responsibility , and who understands that good UI in fintech is about removing uncertainty -- not adding flair.
What You'll Be Doing
Frontend Architecture & Development
Own and evolve frontend modules built with React, Nx, and TypeScript
Architect scalable frontend systems and reusable component libraries
Implement clean, accessible, responsive interfaces with high attention to detail
Design UI patterns that remain stable under fast product iteration
Product & Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with product and design to shape user journeys and workflows
Turn wireframes and requirements into production-ready, pixel-accurate experiences
Collaborate with backend and DevOps teams to deliver seamless end-to-end functionality
Ask the right questions when flows are unclear or risky
Financial Interfaces & Reliability
Integrate complex financial and payment APIs into user-facing products
Handle edge cases, errors, loading states, and partial failures elegantly
Build interfaces where clarity and feedback matter as much as speed
Design experiences that minimise user error around financial actions
Quality, Performance & Maintainability
Implement robust state management (Zustand, Redux Toolkit, or similar)
Write unit and integration tests to keep the frontend stable as it scales
Monitor and improve performance across browsers and devices
Maintain clear documentation for components and architectural decisions
The Tech Stack
Frontend: React, Nx, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, Material UI
Backend (context): .NET 8, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB
Infrastructure & Tooling: AWS, GitHub Actions, Auth0, DataDog
Who This Role Is Really For
You'll Likely Thrive If You:
Have 5+ years building production-grade web applications
Have worked on fintech, payments, blockchain, or financial products
Care deeply about usability, precision, and user trust
Are comfortable building complex flows, not just static views
Can operate independently in a fast-moving, imperfect environment
Enjoy owning features end-to-end rather than handing them off
Take pride in building interfaces that quietly don't fail
This Role Is Probably Not for You If You:
Prefer purely design-led or marketing-focused frontend work
Need slow, linear roadmaps with static requirements
Dislike maintaining and improving existing interfaces
Avoid responsibility for production issues
Get frustrated when priorities shift or dependencies change
(Both are valid profiles -- just not for this role.)
Nice to Have (Not Deal Breakers)
Experience building or maintaining design systems
Familiarity with Auth0 or similar authentication/identity solutions
Experience using DataDog or similar observability tools
Exposure to stablecoin or crypto-enabled payment flows
Experience building dashboards or financial data interfaces
What Makes This Role Worthwhile
Real product ownership: You'll shape interfaces users rely on with real money
High autonomy: Influence architecture, patterns, and frontend standards
Fast learning curve: Early-stage scale means broad exposure and responsibility
Remote-first: Work with a fully distributed team across regions
Meaningful impact: You're helping build financial infrastructure used in emerging markets
Final Note
This is a role for frontend engineers who:
Think beyond visuals
Care about correctness
Enjoy responsibility
And stay calm when things get messy
You're not just building interfaces.
You're building trust .
