The Role
We are looking for a senior frontend developer to lead the build of our customer-facing mobile experience.

- Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs
- Experience with mobile CI/CD (App Store / Play Store, code signing, OTA updates)
Nice to Have
- Experience in fintech, lending, payments, banking, or other regulated environments
- Solid working knowledge of the Microsoft backend stack - C#, .NET / ASP.NET Core, SQL Server
- Comfortable owning features end-to-end across the stack
- Azure experience (App Service, Functions, Service Bus, Key Vault)
- Experience with biometric auth, secure storage, and mobile security best practice
About You
