You will own frontend architecture, design reusable components, and deliver data-dense CRE finance workflows with robust API integration.

Requires 5+ years of front-end experience, deep React/Next.js expertise, and strong UX sense. Opportunity to shape a growing B2B SaaS product with modern tooling and CI/CD practices.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of front-end engineering experience building production web applications at scale.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field from any university, or equivalent practical experience.
• Expert‑level proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3, with deep experience in React (Next.js) or a comparable modern framework.
• Strong grasp of front-end engineering principles: component-driven architecture, separation of concerns, rendering performance, accessibility, and maintainable code.
• Proven experience designing reusable, composable component systems and design systems (Storybook, Tailwind, CSS-in-JS, or similar).
• Hands‑on experience with state management and data-fetching libraries (Redux, Zustand, React Query/TanStack Query, Apollo, or similar).
• Strong API integration skills: consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs, managing async data flows, error handling, auth (OAuth/JWT), and real-time data.
• Experience building scalable front-end architectures: monorepos, micro-frontends or modular codebases, build tooling (Vite/Webpack), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid testing discipline with Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, or Cypress.
• Self‑motivated and autonomous - high ownership, product thinking, strong eye for UX, clear communicator.
• Fast learner with startup DNA - thrive in ambiguity, move fast, iterate based on feedback.
• Good to have exposure to writing APIs and backend services (Node.js, Python, or Go) or building BFF layers.
• Good to have experience building interfaces for AI/LLM products, data-heavy dashboards, or financial/B2B SaaS platforms.

Responsibilities

• Architect and build scalable, high-performance front-end applications from the ground up for an AI-native finance and accounting automation platform.
• Design a reusable component library and design system (atomic/composable components, theming, design tokens) that keeps the product consistent as it scales.
• Build data-dense, intuitive interfaces for complex CRE finance workflows (invoice review, payment matching, reconciliation, lease management dashboards).
• Integrate front-end applications with RESTful and GraphQL APIs, handling authentication, caching, pagination, error states, and real-time updates (WebSockets/SSE).
• Define front-end architecture: state management, data-fetching patterns, routing, code-splitting, and module boundaries for a growing multi-tenant B2B SaaS product.
• Build interfaces for AI-driven workflows: human-in-the-loop review screens, confidence indicators, exception queues, and streaming LLM responses.
• Own front-end performance, accessibility (WCAG), security, and cross-browser quality, with strong testing practices (unit, integration, E2E).
• Collaborate with backend and AI engineers on API contracts, and contribute to backend/BFF endpoints where it speeds up delivery.
• Set engineering standards for the front-end codebase: code reviews, CI/CD, linting, documentation, and mentoring other engineers.

Job description

About Company

At Finantic AI India, we sit at the intersection of finance and technology, helping US Commercial real estate companies run their finance and accounting smarter. We work on real-world areas you study - lease accounting, asset and portfolio reporting, record-to-report, order-to-cash, and procure-to-pay and use AI automation tools to make these processes faster, more accurate, and fully audit-ready.

Based in Chennai and serving US clients, we offer commerce graduates with good analytical mindset, a launchpad to apply core accounting concepts, build strong MSExcel and ERP skills, learn how AI is transforming finance operations, and grow into future-ready finance professionals in a high-learning startup environment.

The US Commercial real estate market is entering a renewed growth phase, with major firms projecting steady recovery in leasing and investment activity across sectors like industrial, multifamily, data centers, and high-quality office assets. This growth is driving intense focus on robust finance and accounting operations.

US CFOs are tightening month-end close, lender reporting, lease accounting, and portfolio-level consolidation, and increasingly rely on specialized offshore teams to handle this work at scale. For commerce graduates, this creates a strong learning runway: you get hands‑on exposure to real estate leases, property‑level P&L, cash‑flow and refinancing metrics, consolidations across large portfolios, and the use of AI in F&A, building a profile that is both technically strong and globally relevant in a high-demand niche market
