Job description

About Wayflyer

Our mission is to give the world access to the best products by empowering great brands to reach their growth potential.

Today's consumer brands need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our unique technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours.

Since launching in April 2020, we've deployed over $4.5bn to thousands of brands worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan. We've become a trusted financing partner for some amazing brands, like True Classic, Little Words Project and Kekoa Foods.

Teams at Wayflyer are truly cross-functional. You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world - all striving to deliver on a huge opportunity. Check out this video to hear directly from them.

We are looking for a talented Full Stack Software Engineer with a strong focus on front-end development, particularly in TypeScript and React. The ideal candidate will have a passion for creating seamless user experiences and possess the skills to contribute across the full software development lifecycle.

What you'll do

• Build and enhance user interfaces using TypeScript and React, focusing on delivering high-quality, reusable components for our financial products

• Partner with our product and design teams to implement intuitive interfaces that help ecommerce brands access and manage their funding

• Create responsive layouts that work seamlessly across different devices and browsers, ensuring our platform is accessible to all customers

• Maintain code quality through proper documentation, testing, and adherence to our established development standards

• Actively participate in our collaborative development process through thoughtful code reviews and knowledge sharing

• Work alongside our backend teams to integrate frontend features with our financial services infrastructure

• Help shape technical decisions that impact our customer-facing applications while considering scalability and maintainability

• Identify and implement performance improvements to ensure fast, reliable experiences for our users

Knowledge, skills and experience

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

• 3+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on front-end development

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and extensive experience with React

• Expert knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript fundamentals

• Experience with RESTful APIs and asynchronous programming patterns

• Working knowledge of Python and Django, or willingness to learn

• Solid understanding of version control with Git

• Experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Vitest)

• Strong problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail

• Excellent communication abilities and proven track record of successful team collaboration

What is important to point out is that you can do most or all of the above mentioned and can point to your real experience doing it. You’ve probably done it at companies of different shapes, sizes and industries. Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

On top of that, you’re amazing at prioritisation. You make sure you’re not spread too thin while also giving teams the support they need. You spend your time on the things that make a positive difference. People get why you’ve chosen to say ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘not yet’, and are ok with it.

What you’re like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You’re helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.

You’re always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you’re always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.

You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.
