Software Engineer (Frontend)

We're looking for an experienced frontend engineer to help evolve Lorum's client portal from a simple interface into a fully featured, enterprise-grade platform used by financial institutions and corporate clients.

You'll design, build, and refine the front-end architecture that powers cash management, payment initiation, and liquidity visibility for clients across global markets. This role is ideal for an engineer who cares deeply about quality, reliability, and the user experience in complex financial systems, someone who can combine strong technical judgment with a product mindset.

You'll work closely with backend engineers to create secure, elegant, and high-performing interfaces that make cross-border payments simple.

Key Responsibilities

• Help evolve our portal from a basic UI to a fully featured enterprise-grade platform used by financial institutions and corporate clients.
• Build out cash management features, including payment initiation, authorisation flows (e.g. maker/checker), balance tracking, FX, and liquidity visibility.
• Design and develop high-quality UI components using React + TypeScript, ensuring consistency, testability, and scalability.
• Collaborate with backend engineers on our Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) architecture to streamline data access and session management through Rust APIs.
• Implement client-side logging, error tracking, and diagnostics to improve visibility and debuggability across complex user journeys.
• Ensure strong attention to accessibility, usability, and performance, particularly in financial interfaces where clarity and reliability are critical.
• Work with product and design to create delightful, user-friendly workflows while maintaining security and compliance best practices.
• Play a key role in shaping frontend code quality, testing practices, and long-term architecture as part of a growing engineering team.
• Take ownership of end-to-end features, working with both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a fast-moving, regulated environment.

Ideal candidate

• Significant experience as a frontend or full-stack engineer, ideally in fintech, SaaS, or data-intensive product environments.
• Strong proficiency with React, TypeScript, and modern web development practices.
• Experience integrating with APIs and working within BFF or service-oriented architectures.
• Solid understanding of state management, component lifecycles, and frontend performance optimisation.
• Familiarity with testing frameworks, build pipelines, and CI/CD environments.
• Strong attention to detail, accessibility, and UX, you care about how things feel as much as how they work.
• A pragmatic mindset, you know when to refactor, when to simplify, and when to ship.
• Comfortable working in environments where speed, reliability, and design integrity matter equally.
• Background in financial or payments platforms, especially interfaces for transactions, accounts, or liquidity management.
• Experience with frontend observability (e.g. Sentry, Datadog RUM) and performance monitoring tools.
• Exposure to backend or API design (especially Rust or similar typed systems).
• Familiarity with design systems and collaboration workflows (Figma, Storybook).
• Experience contributing to internal tooling or developer-experience initiatives.
