Senior Front End Engineer (React), Outside IR35 - Fully Remote
We're partnering with an exciting, venture-backed fintech that's building an AI-powered platform for the financial services sector. Following a successful funding journey and the achievement of SOC 2 compliance, they're entering the next phase of growth and are looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to take ownership of their frontend architecture.

The Role
You'll be responsible for taking ownership of the frontend, reviewing the existing application and defining how it should evolve as the platform scales.
