About the role
Our client develops a financial platform to help people find the right credit cards, mortgage rates, and various other financial service products and information to enable them to make the best financial decisions for their unique needs.

We are looking for a Staff (Lead) Software Engineer with expertise in React, TypeScript, and Next.js to work on a team focused on credit card and bank-related products and services. The focus of the work is front-end development but also includes some back-end development tasks.

Main Responsibilities
Your work will include both hands-on development and Team Lead duties:

Hands-on development duties (60%)

  • Write great code and be a team player who is willing to share your expertise and knowledge with others.
  • Iterating and updating client-facing web pages and flows that guide users toward the right company-related products to meet their needs.
  • Perform data integrations within the decision process to improve customer experience.
  • Contribute to the design and development of new applications, features, and flows to make the customer experience more intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Support ongoing efforts to optimize the client’s end-to-end SDLC, while maintaining best practices.

  • Support the adoption and migration of Next.js, to increase speed and responsiveness
  • Own and drive various projects and support senior engineers driving other projects

    Team Lead duties (40%):

  • Work collaborative and help “up-level” the team through mentorship, code reviews, knowledge sharing, and pair programming as needed on complex development tasks
  • Be a true owner in every sense of the word as it relates to your work, responsibilities, and commitment to the team, and be an intrinsically motivated self-starter
  • Provide thought leadership/expertise around the right level of engineering for a given solution to help ensure projects are not “over-engineered”
  • Bring strong technical opinions to the table, but hold them loosely, being humble enough to let them go and move forward if group consensus goes in another direction
  • Attend and contribute to architecture and design meetings and discussions
  • Partner with the Engineering Manager to:
    – Plan the roadmap & quarterly OKRS
    – Breakdown product requirements into actionable user stories
    – Bring a technical voice to planning & refinement meetings
    – Maintain a high bar for engineering excellence
    – Establish technical guard rails, conventions, and best practices
    – Suggest process improvements and ideas to make the team better
