Our client, a fast-growing Fintech business, is looking for a Staff Front End Engineer to help shape and deliver intuitive, high-performing user experiences across its core platform.

- Build scalable, maintainable UI components
- Partner closely with product, design, and back-end engineers to ship high-quality releases
- Optimise applications for speed and scalability, and help keep the codebase clean and efficient
- Lift front-end infrastructure and best practice across code quality, testing, and documentation
- Run design/code reviews and mentor engineers across the team
- Improve the team’s tooling, workflows, and developer experience as the product grows
What we’re looking for
- Extensive front-end experience building complex web applications
- Expert level JavaScript, TypeScript, React & Next.js knowledge
- Solid experience consuming REST APIs and working with modern build tooling (e.g., Webpack/Babel equivalents)
- Comfortable with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest/Cypress equivalents) and shipping with confidence
- Strong UI craft: responsive design, cross-browser compatibility, design systems, and attention to detail
- Bonus points for experience in payments/fintech/financial services, or cloud-native/microservices environments
- A customer-first mindset and a collaborative, pragmatic “get it done” attitude
This is a high-impact Staff-level role with real influence over front-end direction and standards. With flexible working options (remote within AU*/hybrid) and joining a growing, global team with plenty of runway and interesting product challenges, this is not one to sleep on!
