Product Engineer - Frontend

About the role

At Promise, we’re building technology that helps families stay afloat—offering flexible, affordable payment solutions that replace financial stress with stability. As a Product Engineer with a frontend focus, you’ll directly shape the way people experience that mission. You’ll design and build high-impact web applications that connect individuals facing financial hardship with essential public services.

What You’ll Do

• Build with impact: Architect and deliver scalable, reusable frontend systems and components that power our payments and financial products.
• Craft exceptional experiences: Collaborate closely with product and design to create intuitive, accessible, and high-performing web applications that guide users through complex payment and relief flows with clarity and empathy.
• Bridge frontend and backend: Partner with backend engineers to define and evolve APIs and ensure data flows cleanly from distributed systems to user interfaces.
• Arcitect for scale: Help shape our frontend architecture, state management patterns, orchestration layers, and shared component libraries as we grow.
• Raise the bar: Write clean, maintainable, production-ready code. Identify and resolve performance issues, edge cases, and UX friction points to maintain a high quality bar.
• Lead and mentor: Support and mentor engineers, contribute to thoughtful code reviews, and help cultivate a culture of ownership, curiosity, and engineering excellence.

What Will Help You Succeed

• Experience: 3+ years building production-grade software, with significant experience in modern frontend development.
• Frontend expertise: Strong proficiency in React and TypeScript.
• Experience building complex user flows, managing application state, and integrating APIs at scale.
• Product mindset: You care about usability, performance, accessibility, and clarity — not just shipping features.
• Full-stack fluency: Comfortable working across the stack — contributing to backend services (Node, GraphQL, REST, etc.) when needed to unblock progress and improve end-to-end delivery.
• Systems thinking: Ability to translate complex distributed systems into simple, reliable user experiences.
• Cloud familiarity: Exposure to AWS, GCP, or similar cloud platforms.
