Senior Frontend Engineer

The financial advisory industry is a $80T market in the US, but has seen little technological innovation compared to the self-service market (Robinhood, Betterment, Wealthfront, SoFi). Client data management is a universally painful and expensive problem for financial advisors. Today, advisors manually collect, update, and utilize client data across the 7-10 software tools that they use to run their business. Data transcription and translation across systems is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to costly inefficiencies and embarrassing client-facing problems. Managing data access control, audit logs, and compliance is a constant challenge, particularly in larger organizations.

We are building the first wealth tech data orchestration company. We sync client data across a financial advisor's tech stack, unlocking the efficiency of a fully-integrated software suite with the choice of tools that best fit their business. We are laser-focused on enabling the best technology experiences for advisors and unlocking the potential of the entire wealth tech software ecosystem. We’re an experienced team of start-up operators with deep roots in both tech and advisory. You can learn more about us on our website.

Role overview:

We’re looking for an experienced frontend engineer who can lead the development of our early product experience. You'll help shape the frontend architecture, build core user-facing features end-to-end, and heavily influence our UX, design system, and product direction.

Where you'll make an impact:

• Own and drive core areas of our frontend, building features such as self-service onboarding flows, data reconciliation UX, and digital account-opening experiences.

• Define our frontend architecture and patterns, including component abstractions, state management, performance strategy, and accessibility standards.

• Establish and evolve our design system and UI toolkit, partnering closely with Design and Product to ensure a polished, consistent experience at scale.

• Shape our technical vision and roadmap as an early employee, influencing decisions across product, engineering, and customer workflows.

• Champion developer experience, improving local tooling, CI, documentation, Storybook practices, and testing workflows to make our team faster and more confident.

• Help grow the team, participating in hiring, onboarding, and mentoring other engineers as we scale.

Requirements:

• Strong track record of shipping high-quality, user-facing systems with meaningful complexity, performance constraints, or scale.

• Deep experience building modern web applications (React preferred) with a focus on component design, state management, interactions, and polished UX.

• Comfortable working closely with designers, PMs, and cross-functional partners to translate ambiguous requirements into intuitive customer experiences.

• Excited to be a high-ownership IC in an early-stage environment.

• Bias toward action and clarity - you see opportunities to improve the product or frontend architecture and take initiative without waiting.

• Customer-centric mindset with a strong intuition for usability, accessibility, and high-quality product craftsmanship.

• Thrive in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities and high autonomy.

• 7+ years of engineering experience (or equivalent impact).

You’ll stand out if you have:

• Experience building B2B software and/or fintech software.

• Experience at seed/early-stage startups (eg, being a first-3 engineer at a company).

• Experience building and maintaining open source software.

• Previously started a company and/or launched personal projects.

• Experience with AI promting, models, and tools. You are someone who not only leverages these in your work, but can help level-up our team.

Our tech stack:

React, MUI, React Query, Vite, Storybook, Playwright
