## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Own product features end to end, from initial problem definition through implementation, launch, adoption, and iteration
- Design and implement responsive, performant user interfaces using React and TypeScript
- Translate complex financial and operational workflows into simple, intuitive product experiences
- Work across frontend applications, APIs, backend services, and data models to deliver complete solutions

- Collaborate across product, design, AI, and engineering to make decisions and ship quickly
- Help define frontend architecture and build reusable, scalable UI components
- Integrate frontend applications with APIs, services, and AI driven workflows
- Ship clean, testable, and maintainable code on a rapid release cycle
- Monitor how your work performs in production and take responsibility for fixing issues and improving outcomes
- Surface blockers, risks, and missed expectations early rather than waiting for them to become larger problems
- Advocate for the customer in product and engineering discussions

## What You’ll Bring

- Strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, modern JavaScript, and frontend tooling

- A bias for action. You make thoughtful, pragmatic tradeoffs and maintain momentum in ambiguous situations
- Strong product judgment and the ability to turn loosely defined customer problems into concrete solutions
- A customer obsessed mindset. You engage with users, understand their workflows, and translate their pain points into product improvements
- The ability to operate independently while collaborating closely with a fast moving team
- A habit of communicating progress, risks, and tradeoffs clearly and early
- High standards for quality without allowing perfectionism to prevent shipping
- Comfort working in an environment where feedback comes directly from production users and enterprise partners
