About the Team

The team is responsible for building and maintaining systems that support critical workflows across NIUM’s operational and transactional lifecycles. These applications power key use cases such as Compliance, Transaction Monitoring, Client and Customer Onboarding, Requests for Information (RFI), Refunds, and other essential operational processes. Operating at the intersection of product, engineering, and platform teams, the group focuses on delivering high-quality, user-centric, and white‑label solutions that can be customized to meet diverse client needs and regulatory requirements. The team owns end-to-end development with a strong emphasis on frontend architecture and user experience, building modern, performant interfaces using Next.js and the React ecosystem, backed by robust APIs developed in Spring Boot. With a strong commitment to code quality, reliability, and deployment excellence, the team collaborates closely with Product Managers, Backend Engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver impactful features, ensure seamless system integration, and maintain high engineering standards at scale.

About the Role

As part of Senior Software Engineer (Full Stack – Frontend Focus) in NIUM’s core team, you’ll have opportunity to build and maintain scalable, user‑centric web applications that support NIUM’s operational workflows. You will take ownership of feature development, contribute to API integration and frontend architecture, and help maintain high standards for code quality, testing, performance, and reliable deployments. This role offers strong technical ownership, the opportunity to make a real impact on user‑facing systems, and to influence engineering best practices across the team.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable web applications using Next.js and the React.js ecosystem, including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with backend services built in Spring Boot.
• Build frontend developmental ecosystem and lead the engineering team to ensure high code quality, reliability, performance, and maintainability through best practices, code reviews, and technical guidance.
• Collaborate closely with Product Managers and cross‑functional teams to translate business requirements into well‑defined technical solutions.
• Partner with Backend Engineers to design, define, and document API contracts required for feature development and system integration.
• Manage and oversee deployment lifecycles, including analyzing and coordinating dependencies across multiple services to ensure smooth and reliable releases.
• Contribute to and promote testing strategies, including unit, integration, end‑to‑end testing (e.g., Cypress/Playwright) and QA testing.
• Understanding of databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB is good to have.
• Ability to work with AI tools and agents and offload tasks to them.

Requirements

• Min 3‑5 years experience in frontend development.
• Strong foundational frontend development skills, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and experience working with REST APIs.
• Proficiency in modern web frameworks such as Next.js and React.js, including libraries in the React ecosystem.
• Experience in debugging and optimizing React applications, identifying performance bottlenecks, and resolving complex frontend issues.
• Ability to write clean, scalable, and maintainable code, following best practices and coding standards.
• Hands‑on experience with full‑stack development, collaborating with backend teams and understanding API contracts.
• Familiarity with end‑to‑end testing tools (e.g., Cypress, Playwright) and implementing effective testing strategies is a plus.
• Ability to leverage configuration‑driven developmental feedback to iteratively improve code quality and team workflows.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to analyze complex workflows and contribute to architectural discussions.
• Willingness to embrace feedback, adapt to team workflows, and continuously improve technical and communication skills in a collaborative environment.
• Exposure to AI tools or agents to automate or streamline development tasks is a plus.
