Are you ready to shape the financial future of a rapidly growing fintech that’s transforming lives across Southeast Asia and beyond?
We’re not your typical company - we’re a rocketship! At FINN, established in 2022, by experienced serial founders - we’re on a mission to transform financial well-being for underbanked employees. Our product provides early wage access, financial education, budgeting tools, part-time job opportunities, and micro-insurances. We've hit product-market fit with explosive growth during the past 12 months.
We need a true Frontend Lead who stays deep in the code but also guides the frontend team (currently 2–3 devs, growing).
This is a heavily hands-on role (80–90% coding) with light people leadership (1:1s, code-review ownership, tech direction, mentoring). If you enjoy both building pixel-perfect features yourself and helping others level up, this is for you. Future growth into Head of Frontend is realistic for the right person.
What You’ll Own
Own the entire frontend codebase (Angular 17+, TypeScript, Ionic/Capacitor, Firebase)
Ship our native Android app via Capacitor (and add iOS down the road)
Turn Figma designs into responsive, performant, pixel-perfect UIs
Architect reusable components and maintain a clean, scalable codebase
Drive performance optimization (rendering, lazy loading, bundle size, API efficiency)
Set up and maintain testing strategy (unit with Jest, e2e with Playwright/Cypress)
Run feature-flag and A/B testing flows
Lead code reviews and enforce best practices
Run weekly 1:1s, help unblock the team, and keep frontend velocity high
Collaborate directly with backend, product, and design on a daily basis
Keep us up to date with modern Angular/Ionic ecosystem practices
What You Bring
6+ years frontend development, at least 3–4 years deep with modern Angular working on high-traffic consumer platforms.
Experience in cross-platform frameworks - ideally Capacitor/Ionic.
Strong TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx (or similar state management)
Excellent feel for product & design – you can open Figma, spot inconsistencies, and implement pixel-perfect UIs without hand-holding
Performance optimization experience (Lighthouse 95+, bundle analysis, lazy loading, memoization, etc.)
Testing discipline (Jest + Testing Library, Playwright/Cypress)
Experience mentoring or technically leading small frontend teams (formal or informal)
Fluent English and strong communication skills
Reliable internet & hardware, able to work ≥35h/week with decent overlap with UTC+8 (Singapore time)
Nice-to-Have
Proven track record shipping production Ionic/Capacitor apps to App Store & Play Store
Previous work with financial services APIs or regulated environments
Firebase expertise (Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Hosting)
Lottie / advanced animations
CI/CD with GitHub Actions or similar
Playwright for component & e2e testing
Experience with Tailwind, Storybook, or Chromatic
Why You’ll Love It Here
Real ownership – you will literally shape the entire product experience
No corporate nonsense, fast decision making
Competitive salary + meaningful equity (early stage package)
Fully remote, flexible hours (as long as you have good overlap with Asia timezones)
Small, high-caliber team that values clean code and shipping fast
If you live and breathe Angular/Ionic, care deeply about product and UX, and want to lead while staying hands-on, let’s talk.
