Lead Front-end Engineer
About the role
We’re looking for a Lead Front-end Engineer to help us build a world-class platform for e-commerce operations and payment experiences.
This is not just another dashboard role.
We want someone who can think like a product engineer, someone obsessed with clarity, design quality, performance, and user experience—and who can build interfaces that feel clean, powerful, and delightful.
If you’re the kind of person who looks at Stripe’s product and thinks:
“I want to build systems at that level” — this is for you.
What You’ll Build
You’ll help create and evolve modern web applications for:
- E-commerce management dashboards (orders, products, inventory, customers)
- Payment operations (transaction flows, reconciliation, status tracking, billing)
- Analytics and reporting tools
- Highly interactive UI systems that are fast, scalable, and user-friendly
What We’re Looking For
We’re searching for someone with deep experience and strong taste in interface design and engineering.
✅ You have:
- 6+ years of front-end development experience
- Strong mastery of modern front-end development (React/Vue ecosystem)
- Experience building complex dashboards and enterprise interfaces
- Experience working with systems involving payments, fintech, or e-commerce
- Solid understanding of: performance, state management, architecture, usability
- Ability to translate product requirements into simple, elegant interfaces
- A mindset of ownership, curiosity, and high standards
- Experience working with PHP-based backends and collaborating closely with backend teams (APIs, templating, legacy systems, or modern PHP frameworks like Laravel)
Bonus Points If You Have
- Experience with design systems and component libraries
- Strong familiarity with data visualization (charts, tables, real-time updates)
- Experience with Nuxt or similar frameworks
- Past experience building Stripe-like UX (clean, minimalist, scalable interfaces)
- Knowledge of accessibility best practices (WCAG)
How You Work
You are the kind of engineer who:
- Thinks beyond implementation and contributes to product thinking
- Writes clean, maintainable, and scalable code
- Has strong attention to detail and cares about UI polish
- Pushes for excellence without overengineering
- Challenges ideas and brings better solutions to the table
- Communicates clearly and enjoys collaborating with product and design teams
