## Job description

## About Wayflyer

Today's small businesses need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours. To date, we've deployed over $6bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.

You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world. We have offices in Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin and Sydney.

The challenge

When a founder logs into Wayflyer, what they see, and how easily they can make sense of it, directly affects whether they trust us with their business. We're building financial products that need to feel effortless.

## What you'll actually do

- Provide technical leadership in architectural decisions and champion our existing frontend best practices, advocating for our standards and helping push them forward across the team
- Lead the design and implementation of complex frontend features using TypeScript and React, ensuring high-quality, reusable components that scale across our financial products
- Partner with product and design teams to shape product outcomes, defining intuitive experiences that help e-commerce brands access and manage their funding. This goes beyond delivering UI; every engineer here plays a meaningful role in what we build and how it serves our customers
- Own end-to-end delivery: shape solutions with product/design, build and test, ship to production and monitor/iterate using our observability stack.
- Drive improvements in performance, accessibility, and user experience across our platform
- Mentor engineers across the team and conduct thorough code reviews to maintain high quality standards
- Work closely alongside our backend engineers, contributing across the stack when needed. We actively encourage curiosity and flexibility about where you can add value
- Lead technical discussions and contribute to the team's technical strategy
- Identify and proactively address technical debt and system scalability challenges

Who thrives here

You should be comfortable making and defending technical decisions, while remaining open to feedback and alternative approaches. You'll need to balance technical excellence with business needs and help guide the team toward pragmatic solutions.

You excel at stakeholder management and can effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You're proactive in identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems. We look for candidates with most or all of the below traits that can point to real experience applying them.

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of experience with deep expertise in frontend development
- Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and extensive experience with React and modern frontend architectures
- Expert knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript fundamentals with a focus on performance optimisation
- Strong experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and managing complex state, including hands-on experience with TanStack Query
- Experience contributing to and working with design systems
- Familiarity with backend technologies (Python, Django) and a willingness to contribute across the stack. This isn’t a hard requirement, but that flexibility matters to us.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (especially GitHub Actions) and maintaining high-quality testing practices using tools like Storybook/Chromatic, Playwright, and Vitest
- Proven track record of leading technical initiatives and mentoring engineers
- Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex problems
- Excellent communication abilities and experience managing stakeholder relationships

Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

We hire for range

What you're like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You're helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.

You're always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you're always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.

You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.

What this role could turn into

Frontend engineers here tend to grow in a few different directions: shaping architecture across multiple products, moving into staff or principal engineering tracks, or stepping into engineering management. Some engineers want to go deep on the technical track; others find their strengths pull them toward leading and growing people. We support both paths, and the direction depends on where your interests are strongest.

Location and working policy

📍Fully remote, Europe.

The good stuff

25 days off, plus public holidays. Equity - because you should own a piece of what you're building. Generous parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers. 60 days a year to work abroad from wherever you want.
