Front End Engineer

TEAM & ROLE

As a Front End Engineer, you will be responsible for developing user experiences that our customers will love. Your day-to-day activities will be hands-on developing software and contributing to design—working closely with leads, designers, and product managers to experiment and deliver experiences to our customers all over the world. You’ll ship new features for our apps, build out a common base for shared logic between them, and work to ensure high code quality and test coverage in our frontends.

In the past three years, our focus has been on bolstering our backend infrastructure. Now, we're dedicated to enhancing the employee experience. You'll be instrumental in building these experiences from the ground up. 

We’ve built a massive amount over the past few years, such as:

• Backend software that sits in the credit card authorization flow and makes an approve or decline decision in real time when a user swipes their card
• Three awesome clients (an end-user web app, a mobile app, and an admin web app), plus push provisioning of our cards into Apple and Google Pay
• A full-fledged general ledger system that tracks every movement of money in our ecosystem and continuously reconciles against external bank accounts
