Job description

We're a fast-growing fintech startup building the only truly cross-border banking platform. We help businesses seamlessly manage money around the world so they can access more markets, accelerate their growth, and simplify their operations. We're looking for ambitious people to join our mission.

We're looking for engineers with a product mindset - people who think about the user's problem first, not just the component they're building. You'll work directly with stakeholders, make trade-off decisions, and own outcomes, not just output.

About the Role

Hi, I'm Yan, Head of Engineering at Loop, and I'm hiring a Senior Frontend Developer to build the interfaces where businesses manage their money across borders. In this role, you'll design UI that handles real complexity - multi-currency balances, pending transactions, FX rates that shift - while making it feel simple.

This is an onsite position at our downtown Toronto office (Adelaide and Spadina).

Why We Exist

Small businesses have been underserved by traditional banks. Most businesses operate globally, yet moving money across borders is still painfully hard. Banking fees are opaque, while the process and time to send or receive money internationally is decades old. The tools offered to businesses are only suitable for companies with finance and treasury teams of 20.

Loop exists to change that.

We're building the banking infrastructure for businesses that operate globally by default. Multi-currency accounts. Seamless international payments. Modern systems to manage company finances. The things that should have existed years ago.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build end-to-end features in Next.JS
• Design UI that makes financial complexity feel simple
• Work directly with product and customers to understand problems
• Make trade-off decisions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
• Own features from requirements through production
• Write tests, set up monitoring, care about what happens at 2am

What We're Looking For

• 5-8 years building production software
• Strong React and TypeScript
• Product mindset - you think about the user's problem, not just the ticket
• You understand that in fintech, precision and trust matter
• You can work directly with stakeholders and make informed decisions

Bonus: Financial services experience, deep accessibility knowledge, opinions about how AI changes frontend development.

What we offer

• Salary range CAD$130,000 to CAD$160,000 base annual, commensurate with experience
• Equity ranging 0.01-0.1%
• Enrollment in group's health benefits after probation period
• This role is onsite in our downtown Toronto office
• Kitchen full of snacks and drinks to keep you going throughout the day
• Catered lunch on Fridays (we take recommendations!)

The Challenge

Before we talk, show us how you think:

A customer calls support: "Your dashboard shows I have $50,000 CAD available. But when I try to send $40,000 USD, it fails. Your app is broken."

It's not broken. But something about the experience led them here.

In under 500 words, tell us what might be happening and how you'd approach redesigning this experience. What would you investigate? What questions would you ask? What trade‑offs would you consider?

• 15 minutes video call to discuss the opportunity and the organization with Mandy, People and Business Operations Specialist
• 30 minutes video call conversation with Yan, Head of Engineering
• 60 minutes in person technical discussion with Ian, Senior Frontend Developer and 30 minutes in person meeting with Cato, CEO and Co‑Founder
• Come do a work trial with us for 2‑3 days (this will be paid)
• Background check and offer
