Are you ready to shape the financial future of a rapidly growing fintech that’s transforming lives across Southeast Asia and beyond?

We’re not your typical company – we’re a rocketship! At FINN, 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.

We need a true Frontend Lead who stays deep in the code but also guides the frontend team (currently 2–3 devs, growing).

This is a heavily hands-on role (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.

What You’ll Own

• Own the entire frontend codebase (Angular 17+, TypeScript, Ionic/Capacitor, Firebase)
• Ship our native Android app via Capacitor (and add iOS down the road)
• Turn Figma designs into responsive, performant, pixel-perfect UIs
• Architect reusable components and maintain a clean, scalable codebase
• Drive performance optimization (rendering, lazy loading, bundle size, API efficiency)
• Set up and maintain testing strategy (unit with Jest, e2e with Playwright/Cypress)
• Run feature-flag and A/B testing flows
• Lead code reviews and enforce best practices
• Run weekly 1:1s, help unblock the team, and keep frontend velocity high
• Collaborate directly with backend, product, and design on a daily basis
• Keep us up to date with modern Angular/Ionic ecosystem practices

What You Bring

• 6+ years frontend development, at least 3–4 years deep with modern Angular working on high-traffic consumer platforms.
• Experience in cross-platform frameworks – ideally Capacitor/Ionic.
• Strong TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx (or similar state management)
• Excellent feel for product & design – you can open Figma, spot inconsistencies, and implement pixel-perfect UIs without hand-holding
• Performance optimization experience (Lighthouse 95+, bundle analysis, lazy loading, memoization, etc.)
• Testing discipline (Jest + Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress)
• Experience mentoring or technically leading small frontend teams (formal or informal)
• Fluent English and strong communication skills
• Reliable internet & hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)

Nice-to-Have

• Proven track record shipping production Ionic/Capacitor apps to App Store & Play Store
• Previous work with financial services APIs or regulated environments
• Firebase expertise (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting)
• Lottie / advanced animations
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar
• Playwright for component & e2e testing
• Experience with Tailwind, Storybook, or Chromatic

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Real ownership – you will literally shape the entire product experience
• No corporate nonsense, fast decision making
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity (early stage package)
• Fully remote, flexible hours (as long as you have good overlap with Asia timezones)
• Small, high-caliber team that values clean code and shipping fast

If you live and breathe Angular/Ionic, care deeply about product and UX, and want to lead while staying hands-on, let’s talk.
