How you’ll make a big impact here — and on your career:

Product design atVersapay is evolving. We’re looking for a unique blend of design thinking and technical execution — someone who can bridge the gap between beautiful, intuitive experiences and robust, scalable implementation.

As businesses increasingly demand sophisticated financial software that “just works,” we need developers who understand both the art of user experience and the science of modern web development.

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Developer with a strong design acumen to join our growing team.

This role is designed for someone who thrives at the intersection of design and code, using modern tools and AI-powered workflows to accelerate product development. You’ll use your unique skill set to establish new ways of working that make our entire product organization more effective and responsive to customer needs.

What you’ll do:

• Design System creation: work with engineering teams to stand up a modern design system using Figma, React, Storybook, and other modern tools that bridge the divide between design and code.
• Establish Modern Workflows: Introduce and champion new methodologies that leverage AI tools like Cursor. Create processes that allow rapid iteration from design concept to functional prototype.
• Maintain the Design-to-Code Pipeline: maintain design system components in Storybook that developers actually want to use, ensuring consistency across our platform.
• Mentor and Scale: Share your hybrid skill set with the broader product team, helping establish design and development practices that scale with our growing platform.

What you’ll bring to the team:

Design Excellence:
