Frontend Developer

In-Office (Dubai) | Full-Time | 2–4 Years Experience

Want to build fintech products that actually make a difference for small businesses?

We’re looking for a Front-End Developer , who’s ready to design and ship intuitive, high-performance interfaces from the ground up.

You’ll work alongside our founders and engineering team supporting small and medium businesses who are tired of chasing unpaid invoices while their cash flow stays unpredictable.

You’ll build dashboards, analytics surfaces, and AI-powered workflows that turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight.

At UPFRONT, you’ll gain hands-on product ownership, shape the front-end architecture of a growing fintech platform, and contribute directly to the technology driving our growth.

About UPFRONT

UPFRONT is a Dubai-based fintech startup helping small and medium businesses take control of their cash flow through smarter automation and AI-driven insights.

We work with clients across retail, F&B, hospitality, marketing agencies, and professional services across the UAE and MENA region.

We’re pre-seed and pre-scale; which means you’ll take real ownership, real responsibility, and make a real impact.

In an industry full of spreadsheets and jargon, we bring clarity, creativity, and personality.

Fintech doesn’t have to be cold or corporate, and neither are we.

• The opportunity to shape the front-end architecture of a growing fintech platform
• A fast-moving, high-trust environment where ideas are implemented quickly

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain high-quality, responsive front-end applications
• Translate complex financial and AI-driven data into intuitive dashboards and user interfaces
• Develop reusable, scalable UI components and clean front-end architecture
• Integrate seamlessly with backend APIs and ensure reliable data flow
• Handle authentication flows, async states, error handling, and performance optimisation
• Collaborate closely with founders, backend engineers, and product to ship features quickly and thoughtfully
• Optimise applications for speed, scalability, and cross-browser compatibility
• Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and engineering best practices
• Continuously improve UX based on real customer usage and feedback

What We’re Looking For

Requirements

• 2–4 years of professional front-end development experience in production environments
• Strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks
• Proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS3
• Experience integrating REST APIs and handling asynchronous data
• Strong understanding of responsive design and modern UI/UX principles
• Solid problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Experience building data-heavy dashboards or analytics interfaces
• Exposure to AI-driven or automation-focused products
• Familiarity with AWS environments
• Startup experience or comfort working in early-stage teams
• Familiarity with UAE and MENA business culture

What We Offer

• AED 14,000–16,000 per month (based on experience)
• In-office role based in Dubai
• All necessary equipment and tools provided
• Exposure to AI-driven fintech product development
• Meaningful impact on real businesses across the region
