Staff Frontend Engineer, Payments @ BEAT

 

 

The Staff Engineer will focus on heading up and organising Front End projects end-to-end and be hands-on with Front-End needs for Beat’s Payments & Fraud Platform Tribe. You will develop web based products that power our Payments & “Fraud, Identity and Safety” Platform. 

Joining Beat’s Frontend Chapter means you will be challenged with multiple projects across different business domains. Your focus will be to deliver tools and dashboards that empower the whole company to operate efficiently via a data driven approach.

You will have the opportunity not only to work with our existing codebase but also to explore the latest tools & frameworks required in new projects. Here, you will engage in the design and decision making process for frontend projects. This will involve partnering with colleagues in cross-functional teams and your chapter of frontend engineers. You will be a key contributor to our shared libraries as well as on improving our design system. 

Your main goal will be to support operational excellence. We set the bar high on all of our projects and aim for a great user experience, polished UIs with code that reflects quality and is fun to work with. As a result, you should feel & act as an owner of our teams' work, test and assure that our projects always meet requirements and end users expectations. 

You are a person that wants to contribute to the frontend chapter with best practices, ideas and initiatives to automate things. You are potentially also intrigued by the idea of mentoring others and enjoy utilising your expertise by helping your teammates to upskill.
