What you need

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Deep proficiency building complex web applications with React and TypeScript
  • Full-stack experience designing and building backend services and APIs in a language such as Python, Java, Kotlin, Ruby, or Node.js
  • Track record of independently leading the design and delivery of large, business-critical frontend or full-stack projects in production
  • Ability to work effectively in ambiguous environments where product requirements, constraints, and system boundaries evolve over time

Nice to have

  • Experience serving as the frontend or full-stack technical lead for a product team or business-critical product surface
  • Experience building consumer-facing products at scale with strong attention to performance, accessibility, and user experience
  • Background in fintech, lending, payments, or other regulated financial products with complex user journeys and high quality expectations
  • Experience with experimentation, A/B testing, or feature-flagging to drive iterative product improvements in production
  • Familiarity with modern frontend tooling and testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress) and CI/CD workflows

What you get

  • Competitive compensation, including base pay, bonus opportunities, and annual equity grants that vest quarterly
  • Retirement benefits including a 401(k) or Group Retirement Savings Plan with a company match of $2 for every $1 contributed, up to $15,000 annually
  • Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) with discounted stock purchase options for eligible employees
  • Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, vision, and wellness resources
  • Health Savings Account contributions for eligible plans
  • Income protection benefits including life insurance and disability coverage

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of the tech stack beyond React and TypeScript for frontend work; backend languages are more varied
  • Role involves significant ownership and leadership, which may require navigating ambiguity frequently
  • Remote work is encouraged, but in-person collaboration is also emphasized with regular onsite meetings
