Frontend Engineer

The Role

As a first front-end-focused engineer, you will be responsible for taking designs from the design team and bringing them to life in React, filling in gaps with your own UI intuitions.

They care deeply about the sleekness and usability of their web portal -- that's one of the key ways they stand out against the bigger banks with travel rewards. After all, one of the reasons that traditional credit card rewards are so hard to maximise and use properly is a convoluted user interface.

They want to deliver a travel rewards credit card experience that is intuitive and actually helpful to the user so they never have to worry about whether they're getting the best points deal.

Your role will require you to:

• Collaborate with designers & engineers to scope out features and product direction

• Be responsible for setting the technical direction as well as for planning deliverables

• Participate in code and design reviews to ensure quality and good architecture

• Write maintainable, clear, well-architected code, tests, and documentation

• Set architecture standards and patterns for their frontend which will be adopted by others as they scale

• Make direct technical contributions as well as provide guidance to team members

Qualifications

• At least one year of experience building production-grade software in react

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably at a startup or big tech company

• Desire to join a small but mighty team that's ready to take on this multi-trillion-dollar market by storm

• Intrinsic motivation and the drive to solve difficult problems without guidance

• Ability to ruthlessly prioritise in a chaotic and ambiguous environment

• An open and growth mindset when giving and receiving feedback

Nice to Haves

• A love of travel (hacking) and credit card rewards

• Experience leading engineering teams and setting design standards and patterns in code

• Experience with Redux, Django, Python, Expo Go, and Postgres

• Experience writing code in a heavily regulated industry like financial services
