Member of Technical Staff (Frontend)

Footprint is an agentic platform for compliance teams at banks and fintechs. The role is for a frontend engineer to build user-facing features, SDKs, platform tooling, and the design system using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind.

• User-facing features, end to end. From spec to build to deploy to iterate, making the product and design tradeoffs along the way. The analyst-facing surfaces are the newest part of the product and the least settled
• The SDKs external developers use to embed Footprint. Clean APIs and good docs here shape our customers' integration experience directly, and those decisions are hard to take back once someone has shipped against them
• Platform and tooling. CI/CD, releases, and our pnpm monorepo. This work has been carried alongside product work, which is why it's on this list
• Performance and observability. You own the performance budgets and the monitoring for screens people sit in all day
• The design system. Own and evolve the component library, keeping the UI consistent, accessible, and fast to build on
• Customer empathy. Talk to the people who use what you build and turn what they struggle with into the product

• 4+ years shipping production frontend in modern React and TypeScript - fluent in both, and comfortable moving fast in a large shared codebase
• You ship end to end, prioritize outcomes, and make smart tradeoffs between speed, polish, and scope
• Genuine design sense - you sweat the details, and the interfaces you ship show it
• You write readable, well-structured code and can lead technical decisions without over-engineering
• You've owned the lifecycle of what you ship: the release, the performance budget, and the alert that fires when it regresses
• You use AI to move faster and raise quality, and you read every line you ship
• Experience building or maintaining SDKs or developer-facing APIs. A large share of this role's surface area is consumed by other engineers, and that's a different craft from shipping screens
• A strong eye for accessibility and web performance - our users are in these screens all day, so both compound
• Familiarity with KYC, identity, fraud, or compliance. The screens make more sense when you know what the analyst is deciding
• Comfort dipping into a Rust backend when a feature calls for it, so a feature never waits on someone else's queue

• 💰 Generous compensation and equity packages
• 🍽 Free lunch and dinner (after 7pm)
• 💪 Monthly wellness stipend
• 🏖 Unlimited PTO
• 🏥 Fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance
• 🚀 The chance to help shape the future of internet identity and financial crime prevention
• Massive impact, fast: You'll work on projects that shape company direction, not analysis that gets shelved.
• Own meaningful work: From day one, you'll have direct ownership over strategic initiatives that drive the business forward.
• Real growth opportunity: Promotion timelines depend on performance: the harder you work, the quicker you'll get promoted.
• Winning team and culture: We're a fast-moving, no-BS team that likes to win (and have fun doing it).
