About the Role

We are looking for a frontend focused Full Stack Engineer to build powerful, intuitive product experiences that help users understand and act on complex data.

You will primarily own our frontend systems and user experience while working across APIs, backend services, data models, and infrastructure when needed to deliver complete solutions. You will collaborate closely with product, design, AI, engineering, and customers to turn ambiguous problems into polished, production ready features.

This role requires more than strong execution. We are looking for someone who is highly proactive, takes full ownership of outcomes, and does not wait to be told what to do. You should naturally identify gaps, clarify ambiguity, surface risks early, and drive work forward across teams.

You will be an early and visible member of a small, fast moving engineering team, owning features from problem definition through launch and iteration, contributing to frontend architecture and product strategy, and helping shape the future of our products as we scale.

What You’ll Do

-

Own product features end to end, from initial problem definition through implementation, launch, adoption, and iteration

-

Design and implement responsive, performant user interfaces using React and TypeScript

-

Translate complex financial and operational workflows into simple, intuitive product experiences

-

Work across frontend applications, APIs, backend services, and data models to deliver complete solutions

-

Proactively identify product, usability, and technical gaps and drive them toward resolution

-

Work directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand their workflows and uncover problems that may not yet have clearly defined requirements
