Clients & AccountsJoin the team responsible for defining the gold standard of financial onboarding in Canada. We are not just building forms; we are transforming a classically painful experience, opening a bank account, into a truly magical and seamless journey. If you are an expert front-end developer who obsesses over meticulous polish and world-class user experience, this is your chance to lead our continued pursuit of excellence. You will be instrumental in two critical areas: first, architecting and scaling our foundational frontend SDKs that empower other teams to efficiently compose their unique onboarding flows; and second, directly developing core, complex components like Know Your Client (KYC), Identity Verification (IDV), and agreement signing. This role requires a visionary who can deliver significant advances in both cutting-edge UX and robust, extensible frontend architecture. While your focus will be purely on the front-end, comfort with occasionally adjusting adjacent backend code is a valuable asset in maintaining end-to-end efficiency.
Requirements:
- Expert experience with Typescript, React, React Native, and familiarity with modern frontend state management, testing, and bundling tools.
- Experience with native mobile development is a plus.
- Experience building and operating scalable frontend components and services.
- Experience with frontend performance profiling and optimization.
- Nice to have experience with backend languages like Ruby / SQL / Java (Kotlin) and GraphQL, reflecting the occasional need to touch backend code to serve frontend work.
