Job summary

Specter in New York City is seeking a frontend-focused product engineer who cares about UX and polish as much as function. You'll own major surfaces end-to-end—review and approval flows, logs, customer data surfaces, and the reporting dashboard—and ship features that actually help finance teams review, approve, and explain work.

You'll design with code, mock in Figma if helpful, but the bar is the shipped product.

Qualifications

Strong frontend (React, TypeScript) with real backend capability.
Empathy for the user, especially non-technical audiences.
Genuine curiosity about how accounting actually works.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of major surfaces: the review and approval flow, the agent communications log, the interfaces that show what the system knows about each customer, the reporting dashboard.
Design with code. Mock in Figma if you want, but the bar is what ships in production. Iteration speed matters more than fidelity of the mock.
Make the product feel obvious. Finance teams shouldn't need a training session to use it. Onboarding should be the product, not a separate experience.
Sit in on customer calls. Ship the fix before the call ends when you can. The customers who feel heard are the customers who renew and expand.
Push back on bad ideas, including ours. The job is to make the product better, not to translate specs.
