Software Architect – Front End

React jobs at Facta

Facta

Join an early stage fintech that's modernizing financial processes and visibility for a wide range of businesses.

Facta exists because accounting professionals at medium sized businesses are tragically under served by existing software. Hours to days of accountant time is wasted every month in spreadsheets, manually processing transactions that their general ledger system can't handle. Together we can empower accounting and finance professionals by building tools that directly replace their most common and time-consuming workflows and work the way they expect.

Our founders hail from leading accounting services, investment groups, and fintech companies. Now we're growing our team looking for a diverse group of brilliant, driven, passionate and compassionate people to help solidify our company culture and turbocharge our product development.

About The Role

Our software architects help to determine the technical direction of an engineering domain. The front end architect will steer the team towards modern web development practices, lead major technology decisions, and mentor other engineers.

We hold ourselves to a high engineering standard while also earning the finance domain knowledge to continuously ensure that we're addressing the real life requirements of customers.

    • Monitoring and fine-tuning the web application's build and deploy processes.
    • Evaluating and adjusting the team's development process, leading by example and then codifying best practices around change management, code review, etc.
    • Proactively identifying and carrying out performance optimizations and UX improvements to the product.
    • Collaborating with back end developers on REST API structure.

What To Expect

We'll first schedule half hour to 45 minute interviews with 2 or more founders. These will be to learn about you, your experience, and what makes you tick, and to help give you a firm grasp of Facta's values, vision, products, and plans.

Next you'll move to a technical evaluation with the head of engineering. This will be a one hour session with more in-depth technical discussion of your past projects, and a live coding challenge.

All interviews are carried out over zoom, and we'll ask that you share your screen during live coding time. We'll get back to you within 48 hours after interviews.
