Job summary

Caribou is hiring a frontend-focused full-stack engineer in the UK to build data-dense, legible interfaces for intercompany tax data. You will own features end to end, from frontend through the API, collaborating with our CTO, lead engineer and tax team.

You should bring 3+ years of production web app work with a strong UI craft, plus SQL (Postgres) proficiency and excellent communication to translate CFO-level needs into actionable specs.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production web applications, with the majority of that time in the frontend.
• Demonstrable UI craft. You notice spacing, hierarchy, motion and empty states, and you care when they're wrong.
• Experience presenting complex or data-heavy information clearly: dashboards, graphs, tables, workflows, editors.
• Comfortable across the stack. You can write the API and the migration behind your feature rather than waiting for someone else to.
• Strong SQL (Postgres): ORMs, queries, migrations, and knowing why a page is slow.
• Excellent communication. You can talk to a CFO, a tax specialist, understand what they actually mean, and turn it into a spec.

Responsibilities

• Turn genuinely complex UI challenges into interfaces that are obvious at a glance.
• Work directly with the tax team to shape requirements, then own features end to end, frontend through backend.
• Own and evolve our design system and component library so quality compounds rather than drifts.
• Build the data-dense views at the heart of the product: entity graphs, intercompany flows, compliance status, documentation.
• Keep a keen eye on the customer experience, proactively raise issues and deploy fixes.
• Ship quickly, and set the bar for what "shipped" means here.
