About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Frontend / UX Engineer to join a fast-growing U.S. fintech company that is simplifying cross-border payments and international money transfers, with a strong focus on the Latino community in the United States. You will help build its Digital Wallet, the product through which users manage and move their money.
This is a frontend-first role. Your main job will be to build excellent user experiences: turning product requirements and UX/UI designs into intuitive, scalable, production-ready wallet features. You will also use AI-powered development tools to extend your reach across the stack, including Backend for Frontend (BFF) services, API integrations, and supporting backend functionality, so you can deliver complete features on your own when needed.
We are looking for someone who goes beyond implementing screens. You should understand how users interact with financial products, spot opportunities to improve the experience, and balance user experience, technical quality, and delivery speed. Your work will directly affect how easily and confidently users send money to their families and manage their finances.

Use AI-powered development tools to speed up frontend and full-stack development.
Build and maintain Backend for Frontend (BFF) services that support application requirements.
Implement API integrations and supporting backend functionality when needed.
Ensure consistency, performance, accessibility, and maintainability across the application.
Take part in code reviews and help improve development practices.
Find ways to simplify development workflows through AI-assisted engineering.
Requirements

Strong hands-on experience with React, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
Solid understanding of UX principles, usability, interaction design, and user-centered development.

Practical experience with AI-assisted coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar.
Ability to deliver complete features across frontend and backend boundaries.

Strong understanding of frontend architecture, reusable components, and state management.
Experience working in Agile product development environments.
Strong communication, problem-solving, and independent execution skills.
Comfort working hands-on with production code.
