Frontend Lead

Frontend Lead (Product Engineering)

Remote

• Eastern Hemisphere (timezone overlap required)
  
  

We're a fintech company building earned wage access products — giving people real-time access to money they've already earned. The frontend is the product for our users, and this role will have an outsized impact on how hundreds of thousands of people interact with their finances.

This is a high-ownership role. You'll report to the VP of Engineering and lead our frontend team (currently 3, scaling to 5+). You'll shape technical direction, ship product, and raise the bar — not manage from a distance.

We're giving you significant responsibility and expecting you to run with it.

What you'll do

• Own the frontend experience end-to-end across web and mobile (Angular + Ionic) — from problem shaping through production
• Drive complex features: dig into the problem, design the approach, ship fast, and iterate based on real usage
• Set and evolve technical direction — architecture, patterns, tooling, and developer experience
• Partner with product and design to define solutions, not just execute specs
• Write a lot of code — this is a hands-on role first, leadership second
• Mentor engineers and build a team culture of quality, speed, and ownership
  
  

How we work

We're a small team that values clear thinking over heavy process. Engineers get real context on the "why" and autonomy on the "how." We ship frequently, learn from production, and make pragmatic tradeoffs. We plan enough to move confidently — but never so much that we slow down.

AI in our workflow

AI is becoming core to how we build. We use LLMs daily for coding, debugging, automated code reviews, design doc reviews, and we're building internal tooling to push this further in and out of the Engineering team. We're looking for someone who treats AI as a force multiplier and actively helps the team get meaningfully better at it — not just a passive user.

What we're looking for

• Proven track record shipping complex user-facing products (web + mobile ideal)
• Strong product instincts — you push back when something doesn't feel right for the user
• Deep TypeScript fundamentals (component architecture, state management, performance)
• Experience mentoring engineers and setting team standards
• Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a rough problem and turn it into a shipped solution
• Pragmatic judgment on architecture vs. shipping and learning
  
  

Our stack is Angular + Ionic. Strong engineers from React, Vue, or other modern frameworks ramp quickly — we care more about fundamentals than specific framework experience.

This role probably isn't for you if

• You aren’t comfortable with some level of ambiguity ambiguity
• You default to large rewrites when the problem needs solving in days
• You optimize for architectural purity over learning from real users
• You need a lot of structure or guidance to do your best work
  
  

Why join

• Your work directly shapes the product experience for hundreds of thousands of users
• Small, high-caliber team — minimal bureaucracy, fast feedback loops, clear business impact
• Real ownership and technical leadership as we scale internationally
• A seat at the table in defining how frontend engineering evolves here
