<p class="p1"><strong>Are you ready to shape the financial future of a rapidly growing fintech that’s transforming lives across Southeast Asia and beyond?</strong></p>
<p class="p1">We’re not your typical company - we’re a rocketship! At <strong>FINN</strong>, established in 2022, by experienced serial founders - we’re on a mission to transform financial well-being for underbanked employees. Our product provides early wage access, financial education, budgeting tools, part-time job opportunities, and micro-insurances. We've hit product-market fit with explosive growth during the past 12 months.</p>
<p class="p1">We need a true <strong>Frontend Lead </strong>who stays deep in the code but also guides the frontend team (currently 2–3 devs, growing).</p>
<p class="p1">This is a <strong>heavily hands-on role </strong>(80–90% coding) with light people leadership (1:1s, code-review ownership, tech direction, mentoring). If you enjoy both building pixel-perfect features yourself and helping others level up, this is for you. Future growth into Head of Frontend is realistic for the right person.</p>
<p class="p1"><strong>What You’ll Own</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Own the entire frontend codebase (Angular 17+, TypeScript, Ionic/Capacitor, Firebase)</li>
<li>Ship our native Android app via Capacitor (and add iOS down the road)</li>
<li>Turn Figma designs into responsive, performant, pixel-perfect UIs</li>
<li>Architect reusable components and maintain a clean, scalable codebase</li>
<li>Drive performance optimization (rendering, lazy loading, bundle size, API efficiency)</li>
<li>Set up and maintain testing strategy (unit with Jest, e2e with Playwright/Cypress)</li>
<li>Run feature-flag and A/B testing flows</li>
<li>Lead code reviews and enforce best practices</li>
<li>Run weekly 1:1s, help unblock the team, and keep frontend velocity high</li>
<li>Collaborate directly with backend, product, and design on a daily basis</li>
<li>Keep us up to date with modern Angular/Ionic ecosystem practices</li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><strong>What You Bring</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>6+ years frontend development, at least 3–4 years deep with modern Angular working on high-traffic consumer platforms.</li>
<li>Experience in cross-platform frameworks - ideally Capacitor/Ionic.</li>
<li>Strong TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx (or similar state management)</li>
<li>Excellent feel for product & design – you can open Figma, spot inconsistencies, and implement pixel-perfect UIs without hand-holding</li>
<li>Performance optimization experience (Lighthouse 95+, bundle analysis, lazy loading, memoization, etc.)</li>
<li>Testing discipline (Jest + Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress)</li>
<li>Experience mentoring or technically leading small frontend teams (formal or informal)</li>
<li>Fluent English and strong communication skills</li>
<li>Reliable internet & hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)</li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><strong>Nice-to-Have</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Proven track record shipping production Ionic/Capacitor apps to App Store & Play Store</li>
<li>Previous work with financial services APIs or regulated environments</li>
<li>Firebase expertise (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting)</li>
<li>Lottie / advanced animations</li>
<li>CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar</li>
<li>Playwright for component & e2e testing</li>
<li>Experience with Tailwind, Storybook, or Chromatic</li>
</ul>
<p class="p1"><strong>Why You’ll Love It Here</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Real ownership – you will literally shape the entire product experience</li>
<li>No corporate nonsense, fast decision making</li>
<li>Competitive salary + meaningful equity (early stage package)</li>
<li>Fully remote, flexible hours (as long as you have good overlap with Asia timezones)</li>
<li>Small, high-caliber team that values clean code and shipping fast</li>
</ul>
<p>If you live and breathe Angular/Ionic, care deeply about product and UX, and want to lead while staying hands-on, let’s talk.</p>
