Frontend Engineer — Mid Level at Glomo

ABOUT THE ROLE We're building the next generation of cross-border fintech infrastructure — powering payments, KYC, and global merchant experiences. As a Mid-Level Frontend Engineer (2–4 years), you'll ship user-facing features and internal tooling across our product surfaces — checkouts, merchant dashboards, compliance and operations workflows, and the systems our partners and internal teams rely on every day. This is a product-focused IC role. You'll work closely with a senior engineer, product, design, and domain partners to deliver features that directly move customer and business outcomes. WHAT YOU'LL DO Ship features end-to-end • Build production-grade React + TypeScript interfaces across checkout, dashboards, and internal workflows. • Own the FE side of each ticket: scope clarification, data contracts with backend, edge cases, testing, release. • Build data-heavy UIs — filter-heavy tables, detail views, workflow screens, configuration surfaces. Work at a healthy cadence with AI • Use AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) for non-trivial work. We expect this on day one. • Review AI output critically — catch bugs, security issues, and wrong abstractions before they land. • Ask good clarifying questions when a ticket is ambiguous. Flag risks early. Participate in the FE pod • Contribute to code reviews across FE work. • Take part in FE pod standards discussions, platform planning, and retros. • Raise issues that hurt the team's velocity — inconsistent patterns, shared-package friction, testing gaps. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE • 2–4 years of professional frontend development experience. • Shipped production React + TypeScript code in a real codebase. Tutorials and personal projects don't count. • Demonstrated stability (1.5+ years in at least one role preferred). TECHNICAL STRENGTH • Solid React fundamentals — hooks, composition, component boundaries, lifecycle and state clarity. • Strong TypeScript — comfortable with generics, discriminated unions, inference, and typing real-world data. • Server-state with TanStack Query and client-state with Zustand. (We don't use Redux.) • Vite build toolchain. • Turborepo monorepo familiarity (or willingness to learn quickly). • Vitest + Playwright for testing. Knows the difference between a unit test and a meaningful one. • Comfortable building data-heavy UIs — tables, filters, detail views, dashboards. Understands pagination, virtualization, optimistic updates. PRODUCT & DOMAIN • Security-aware — comfortable working on flows that handle PII, tokens, and financial data. Follows team conventions for cross-origin messaging, sensitive data logging, and access controls. • Product sense developing — pushes back when a UX decision feels wrong, even politely. • Clear communicator — asks questions early, flags trade-offs, writes PRs a reviewer can actually review. NICE TO HAVE • Exposure to fintech, payments, compliance, or risk products. • Experience with design systems (Storybook, component libraries). • Backend basics (REST, understanding auth/token flows). • DevOps awareness (CI/CD, basic deployment concepts). HOW WE WORK We're a small, high-ownership team where engineers: • Own features end-to-end — not just tickets. • Ship fast, but with a strong focus on quality. • Work directly with founders and leadership. • Build systems used in real production environments by merchants and regulators. WHAT WE VALUE • Ownership: takes initiative and drives outcomes. • Frontend Craft: cares deeply about performance, UX, and quality. • Pragmatism: balances speed with long-term maintainability. • Curiosity: open to learning new domains — payments, compliance, platform. • Honesty: clear about what they know and where they're growing. WHY THIS ROLE This is a high-impact role for engineers who want to: • Build fintech products where correctness and trust matter. • Work on data-heavy, workflow-driven UIs that shape real business outcomes. • Grow under the mentorship of a senior FE engineer and an engaged FE pod. • Be part of a team that ships quickly and improves how payments infrastructure is built globally.
