About Finofo

Finofo makes global finance effortless. We help companies pay vendors, move money across borders, manage multi-entity cash, and stay compliant — all from one platform.

We’ve raised over $5M, including a $3.3M seed led by Watertower Ventures, with Motivate VC, and SaaS Ventures. The opportunity is real, and so is the urgency. Customers are scaling fast — and now the product has to scale faster.

Why We’re Hiring

We’re not here to build a nice little app. We’re here to build something category-defining — and that takes obsession, effort, and ownership.

We’re looking for a Front-End Engineer who wants to go all-in. Someone who sees product not as tickets, but as a craft. Someone who knows that great user experience is built through fast iteration, long hours, tough calls, and relentless focus.

You’ll own key parts of the UI, work directly with the founding team, and push real product live; week in, week out. This is a seat at the core of the company. No passengers. No coasting.

What You’ll Do

• Ship critical product features in React + TypeScript
• Own sections of our Web App, polish edge cases, and challenge designs when required
• Work closely with design and back end to move ideas into code
• Contribute to and scale our front-end system as we add new modules to our platform
• Test what matters, profile what’s slow, and constantly raise the bar
• Ideate, iterate, and debug live with the team; even if it’s 9PM on a Friday

Who You Are

• 3+ years building production React apps
• Fluent in TypeScript, state management, and performance tuning
• Care deeply about the details — load time, UX and edge cases
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code in a monorepo setup — even under pressure
• Relentless: “done” means it’s in prod, used by customers, and working
• Founder-speed mindset: you put in the effort it takes to win
• Strong communicator who works well in a fast, direct, in-person team
• Bonus: fintech experience or experience in another industry where some features just can’t start failing randomly, this is not a gym planning app.

Let's Be Honest

This isn’t a lifestyle job. We’re building a VC-backed company with global ambition. That means intensity. We’re not training for a casual 5K jog — we're trying to win gold at the Olympics of Tech.

That requires more than talent and smarts. It requires hours, effort, resilience, a winning attitude and pride in your work.

If you're looking for a cushy 9 to 5 job, this isn’t the place. But if you're looking for meaning, impact, and the chance to do your life’s best work, let’s talk.

Our Stack

React • TypeScript • Chakra • REST • OpenAPI

Python Back-End • PostgreSQL • AWS (Fargate, Amplify)

GitHub Actions • Linear • Figma • Slack

How We Use AI

We’re obsessed with speed and leverage every edge we can. From Cursor to Codex, we use AI to write, review, and refactor faster. We’re always on the hunt for new tools that boost engineering velocity. The pace of innovation in AI is accelerating, and we don’t plan on being laggards. If you're AI-curious and love experimenting to move quicker, you'll fit right in.

What We Offer

• Equity with real upside. Participate meaningfully in the win.
• Relocation support to Calgary if you’re currently elsewhere in Canada.
• Gorgeous downtown office (C Train-adjacent) where we work hard but also have fun together.
• A founding-team-level seat in a company that’s going places
• High-trust, high-responsibility culture where builders thrive
