About the role

This is a high-ownership seat on a small, senior team.
You'll report directly to our Head of Frontend Engineering.
Platform and tooling: Improve CI/CD, releases, and our monorepo tooling (pnpm) so the whole frontend team ships faster and more safely.

Own user-facing features from spec to build to deploy to iterate, making the product and design tradeoffs along the way rather than implementing handed-down specs.
Own and evolve our component library and design system, keeping the UI consistent, accessible, and fast to build on.
You sweat the details, have genuine design sense, and collaborate closely with designers to ship interfaces that feel great.
From day one, you'll have direct ownership over strategic initiatives that drive the business forward.
You'll ship polished, high-stakes interfaces, build the SDKs external developers integrate, and keep our frontend platform fast, scalable, and maintainable as we grow.
End-to-end feature ownership: Own user-facing features from spec to build to deploy to iterate, making the product and design tradeoffs along the way rather than implementing handed-down specs.
Design system: Own and evolve our component library and design system, keeping the UI consistent, accessible, and fast to build on.

Familiarity with the KYC, identity, fraud, or compliance space.
Comfort dipping into the backend (we use Rust) when a feature calls for it.
A strong eye for accessibility and web performance at scale.
React, TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel
90 Days: You've shipped 2-3 meaningful user-facing features, contributed to our SDKs, and established yourself as a reliable owner of frontend quality.
1 Year: You've driven major product initiatives end-to-end, improved our frontend platform's performance and developer experience, and become a go-to technical leader on the team.
Massive impact, fast: You'll work on projects that shape company direction, not analysis that gets shelved.
Real growth opportunity: Promotion timelines depend on performance: the harder you work, the quicker you'll get promoted.

Compliance teams at banks and fintechs are drowning in financial crimes investigations.
Percy learns each team's procedures and makes the same calls their analysts would:
clearing false positives, escalating real risk, writing the case narrative, and documenting every decision for audit.
It cuts review workloads by 70%+ and routinely catches fraud that human reviewers miss.

You'll work on projects that shape company direction, not analysis that gets shelved.
We're a fast-moving, no-BS team that likes to win (and have fun doing it).
Build and maintain the SDKs external developers use to embed Footprint, where clean APIs and great docs directly shape our customers' integration experience.
Drive frontend performance, monitoring, and observability so issues get caught and resolved before customers ever feel them.
We're looking for a product-minded frontend engineer with strong technical fundamentals and real design taste to own that surface.
You'll make product and design calls, not just implement tickets, and what you ship will be in front of customers immediately.
SDK development: Build and maintain the SDKs external developers use to embed Footprint, where clean APIs and great docs directly shape our customers' integration experience.
Performance and observability: Drive frontend performance, monitoring, and observability so issues get caught and resolved before customers ever feel them.
