Lead Software Engineer - Frontend (Product Engineering)

Remote · Eastern Hemisphere (timezone overlap required)

FINN is a fintech company building simple and transparent products that improve financial well-being for underbanked employees. Our core offering gives people access to wages they have already earned, alongside tools to help them manage money better, build savings, access insurance, earn additional income, and use fairer financial services.

Founded in 2022, FINN is the largest player in the early wage access space in Southeast Asia and is expanding rapidly into new markets globally. We are looking for ambitious builders who take ownership, move fast, and want to shape products that create meaningful impact in people’s lives.

This is a high-ownership role. You'll report to the VP of Engineering and lead our frontend team (currently 3, scaling to 5+). You'll shape technical direction, ship product, and raise the bar, not manage from a distance.

We're giving you significant responsibility and expecting you to run with it.

What you'll do
  • Own the frontend experience end-to-end across web and mobile (Angular + Ionic) from problem shaping through production
  • Drive complex features: dig into the problem, design the approach, ship fast, and iterate based on real usage
  • Set and evolve technical direction, architecture, patterns, tooling, and developer experience
  • Partner with product and design to define solutions, not just execute specs
  • Write a lot of code , this is a hands-on role first, leadership second
  • Mentor engineers and build a team culture of quality, speed, and ownership
How we work

We're a small team that values clear thinking over heavy process. Engineers get real context on the "why" and autonomy on the "how." We ship frequently, learn from production, and make pragmatic tradeoffs. We plan enough to move confidently  but never so much that we slow down.

AI in our workflow

AI is becoming core to how we build. We use LLMs daily for coding, debugging, automated code reviews, design doc reviews, and we're building internal tooling to push this further in and out of the Engineering team. We're looking for someone who treats AI as a force multiplier and actively helps the team get meaningfully better at it, not just a passive user.

What we're looking for
  • Proven track record shipping complex user-facing products (web + mobile ideal)
  • Strong product instincts, you push back when something doesn't feel right for the user
  • Deep TypeScript fundamentals (component architecture, state management, performance)
  • Experience mentoring engineers and setting team standards
  • Comfort with ambiguity: you can take a rough problem and turn it into a shipped solution
  • Pragmatic judgment on architecture vs. shipping and learning

Our stack is Angular + Ionic. Strong engineers from React, Vue, or other modern frameworks ramp quickly,  we care more about fundamentals than specific framework experience.

This role probably isn't for you if
  • You aren’t comfortable with some level of ambiguity ambiguity
  • You default to large rewrites when the problem needs solving in days
  • You optimize for architectural purity over learning from real users
  • You need a lot of structure or guidance to do your best work
Why join
  • Your work directly shapes the product experience for hundreds of thousands of users
  • Small, high-caliber team, minimal bureaucracy, fast feedback loops, clear business impact
  • Real ownership and technical leadership as we scale internationally
  • A seat at the table in defining how frontend engineering evolves here
  • Location: #EMEA #APJ
