Staff Engineer, FE - Account Experience

What we're looking for Demonstrable experience operating at staff or principal level: setting front-end technical direction across multiple teams, not just within one Deep front-end engineering expertise with TypeScript and React, and a track record of architecting complex, long-lived web applications Real fluency in the things that separate good front-end from great: state management at scale, performance, accessibility, and component-system design The kind of judgment that earns trust fast — engineers follow your technical lead because you're right, not because of your title Enough comfort across the stack to reason about the APIs and services your front-end depends on, and to partner with backend engineers as an equal Strong written and verbal communication, including making complex technical decisions legible to Product, Design, and non-technical stakeholders Comfort working in payments, fintech, or platform contexts is welcome, though depth of engineering matters more than the specific industry You may not like it here if: You prefer a defined lane — at Staff level you'll be expected to find and shape the work across several teams, not wait for it to be handed to you You think of front-end as the layer that just renders what the backend sends — here it's a first-class engineering discipline with real architectural weight You want a QA team to catch your bugs — we don't have one, and we don't plan to Remote-first feels like a compromise to you — for us it's deliberate, and it demands real discipline and strong async habits ✅ A typical interview process An initial intro call with a Talent Partner An interview with the Hiring Manager Challenge Stage - Contextualised to
