Frontend Engineer

About the role

This person is equally comfortable defining the interaction model for a new feature and shipping the React that powers it. You'll work directly with the CTO and founding engineers, moving from rough product idea to shipped, polished UI without a handoff in between.

Responsibilities

• Build and own our design system on top of shadcn/ui and Tailwind — components, tokens, patterns, and documentation that the rest of engineering can build on without asking you first.
• Design and ship full features end-to-end: wireframe or go straight to high-fidelity, build the actual production component, wire it to real data, and iterate based on how it feels in practice.
• Redesign and modernize existing surfaces — merchant onboarding, dashboards, checkout flows — that were built for speed, not polish.
• Make architecture decisions about component composition, theming, and reusability that will hold up as the product surface area grows.
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to make sure the front end accurately represents genuinely complex systems (multi-chain settlement, card networks, fraud/risk states) without dumbing them down.

Requirements

• A strong command of shadcn/ui, Radix primitives, Tailwind CSS, and React/TypeScript.
• A portfolio or GitHub history showing products you designed and built yourself, start to finish.
• Real product design judgment: typography, spacing, color systems, information hierarchy, and the ability to simplify complex, data-heavy interfaces.
• Experience building or significantly extending a design system in a real production codebase, including versioning, theming, and documentation practices that scale past one person using it.

Qualifications

• Experience in fintech, crypto, or other data-dense, trust-sensitive product categories is a plus.
• Familiarity with Next.js, React Native, or motion/animation libraries (Framer Motion, GSAP) is a plus.

Skills

• Strong understanding of web development technologies and best practices.
• Experience with design systems and their implementation.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Benefits

• The base salary range for this role is $150,000 to $180,000 USD.
• The actual base salary offered depends on a variety of factors, including but not limited to experience, education, skills, qualifications and business needs.
• The employee who fills this role will be eligible for an equity grant, allowing you to share in the long-term success of the company.
• You will also have access to a wide array of benefits, including health and wellness benefits, 401(k) savings plan, and flexible time off.
