About the Role
We are looking for senior frontend engineers passionate about frontend technology and excellent user experience. The ideal candidate has helped lead the technical design and implementation of frontend features on at least one sizable production application within the past year. A senior frontend engineer at Perpay will spend their time writing code, reviewing PRs, mentoring engineers, and helping scope & design new features. We are looking for people who can bring frontend technical expertise to push our technology forward — whether it’s hosting a lunch-and-learn on a new frontend technology or directing a large refactor. We value engineers who demonstrate excitement around solving tough problems and delivering solutions in a fast-paced environment.
Much of our team is fullstack, so we look for team members excited to learn new technologies and work across all stacks, even if it’s not something you’ve done before! Our tech stack: Javascript, React, React Native, Redux, Python, Django, Flask, Kubernetes, AWS, Docker and more.
Our greatest strength is our people and we’d love for you to be one of them!

Contribute to the engineering design process by bringing forward tradeoffs and opinions on how to weigh them
