We are looking for a Frontend Software Engineer with +3 years experience, to help us design and ship secure, high-quality Web Applications and TypeScript SDKs. You will own features end-to-end - from APIs and SDK design to polished UIs - while working closely with backend, security and product teams.

This role is ideal if you care deeply about security, code quality, and thoughtful engineering, and enjoy collaborating with others to build reliable systems.

What You Will Work On

• Build web applications (Node.js, React) that showcase and validate our core product.
• Integrate with REST APIs and collaborate closely with backend teams.
• Own features from ideation -> development -> testing -> deployment, with security in mind at every step.
• Configure, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines for speed, reliability, and security.
• Design, develop, and maintain TypeScript SDKs and libraries used by developers.
• Write clear documentation for both internal teams and external users.
• Participate in code reviews, pair programming, architecture decisions.
• Contribute to TDD and E2E testing practices.
• Troubleshoot and improve CI/CD workflows and developer experience.

Must-Have Qualifications

• Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js and React.
• Experience with testing libraries such as jest, vitest, bun.test.
• Experience designing and integrating REST APIs.
• Knowledge of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL).
• Understanding of asynchronous communication and/or event-driven systems.
• Ability to understand, debug, and improve CI/CD pipelines.

Nice-to-Have (Not Required)

• Deploying Next.js applications outside of Vercel (Docker is a big plus).
• Experience with messaging platforms like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Interest in learning Go to contribute to backend services.
• Familiarity with cryptographic standards, mTLS, or secure communications.
• Experience applying security standards such as OWASP SAMM.

Who You Are

You write secure, test-driven code, enjoy collaborating with teammates, and like helping others to grow. You are curious, pragmatic, and comfortable exploring new tools and technologies without losing sight of maintainability and security.
