Frontend Engineer

Why is now a good time to join us?

We rolled out our new ever-growing Forex service in 2023. This means you’ll play a massive role in building the service, owning projects end to end and be perfectly positioned to become an integral part of the team. Going forward we aim to expand globally and leverage our agility, inventiveness and drive to improve the livelihoods of billions. Joining now offers the rare opportunity to play a massive role in this goal.

The opportunity

To grow our service offering, we need to enhance our existing services, develop new investment and transactional products with additional partners, and begin to look beyond South Africa at global opportunities. We are looking for a Frontend Engineer with React experience who is adaptable, smart, and passionate about building scalable, high-performing interfaces in a modern tech stack.

What you’ll do

• Have a massive impact on our clients and team by designing, testing and pushing great code in our modern stack which includes React v18+, TypeScript, CSS Modules, Vite, Vitest, SWR, and Storybook

• Collaborate with some of the best Product and Engineering team members to accelerate development on client-facing platforms, dashboards and internal tools

• Build and maintain frontend components that improve user experience, and operational efficiency. Debug issues, contribute to system upgrades, review peers code, and ensure high-quality, well-tested code

• Identify and resolve pain points in the codebase to improve scalability, maintainability, and performance. Share knowledge with your colleagues to continually grow the team’s skill level

• Constantly iterate, learn and grow to ensure you and your work are always the best version possible

What you’ll need

• 5+ years experience in frontend development

• 2+ years’ experience in React

• Experience building web-based platforms and dashboards. Exposure to fintech is a plus; interest in Forex and Crypto is advantageous

• Excellent problem-solving abilities

• A focus on deliverability with a care for clean and articulate code

• A start-up mindset, comfortable with products failing and having to be rapidly iterated

• Comfortable working remotely with high autonomy and staying self-motivated without having to be managed frequently

• Strong communication and collaboration abilities, with exposure to fast-paced agile delivery environments

What it’s like to work here

• We embody true agile: Instead of making changes to conform to a certain methodology, we continuously develop our own helping us research our fullest potential and foster a positive and productive work environment.

• We’re deliverable focused: Working a set hours is not important to us. What matters is how quickly we can bring high quality deliverables to production. If you’re focused and effective, you’ll find yourself well rewarded!

• We reward excellence: We deeply appreciate anyone who relishes making a real impact and is happy to go the extra mile in doing so. We are quick to reward those who overachieve.

• We don’t like micromanaging: Micromanaging is an inefficiency we’d prefer to avoid! We want to integrate you quickly so you can manage your own time and projects. That being said we love collaboration, so we’re always happy to help one another and will never leave you in the dark!

• We’re all about transparency: We believe transparency is key to our success and have made it the cornerstone of our services. We focus on transparency and open discussion amongst our team to help the best answers and ideas bubble to the surface. This has the added benefit of creating a fun and open workplace where ideas flow.
