Job description

About the Company

Made’s mission is to help homeowners save time, money, and stress. It starts with Made Card – a credit card designed specifically for homeowners, with unmatched rewards on mortgage payments, home improvements, utilities, and essential purchases. Each swipe powers a personalized home management platform where users can manage home systems & appliances, stay ahead on upkeep, and get help – from AI‑driven guidance to in‑person services – exactly when they need it most. By bringing together financial tools, data, and trusted professionals, we give people more control, more savings, and more time to enjoy the place they call home.

We’re partnered with leading national players in the residential homeownership space – from mortgage lenders to home services providers – embedding Made into the key moments of the homeowner journey. These partnerships let us reach millions of households across the country and deliver meaningful benefits to homeowners.

Backed by top investors like Village Global, Jump Capital, Recharge Capital, and Soma Capital, our leadership team brings deep fintech, mortgage, and credit card experience from Ramp, Bain Capital, JP Morgan Chase, American Express, and Morgan Stanley. We’re building the financial and engagement platform for the next generation of homeowners – one that puts the homeowner at the center, and redefines what it means to feel at home.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Staff Frontend Engineer to lead the development of our web and mobile experiences, setting the standard for frontend engineering at Made. You’ll own critical parts of the homeowner platform, mentor other engineers, and collaborate closely with product and design to deliver intuitive, fast, and reliable user experiences. As one of the most senior engineers on the team, you’ll also help shape technical strategy and best practices for the frontend stack as we scale.

What You’ll Do

• Front-End Ownership: Lead all user-facing development across mobile (Flutter) and web (React/Next.js), ensuring quality and performance at scale.

• Architecture & Standards: Define front-end architecture, coding standards, and processes for rapid, high-quality delivery.

• Feature Delivery: Collaborate with product, design, and backend engineers to deliver end-to-end features that delight users.

• Performance Optimization: Drive efforts around performance tuning, monitoring, and debugging across platforms.

• Team Leadership: Mentor other front-end engineers, conduct code reviews, and raise the engineering bar for the team.

• Testing & Deployment: Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment workflows for reliable, frequent releases.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Communicate trade-offs, technical decisions, and progress clearly to product, design, and leadership stakeholders.

Ideal Background

• 5–8+ years in front-end engineering, with 3+ years in a lead or senior capacity.

• Deep experience with Flutter (Dart) for mobile development and React/Next.js or similar for web applications.
• Track record of owning and shipping complex, high-quality front-end features.
• Experience balancing speed and long-term architectural considerations in a startup environment.
• Strong product instincts with a focus on user experience and performance.
• Excellent collaboration skills across product, design, and backend teams.
• Comfortable mentoring teammates and raising the engineering bar.

We understand that not everyone comes from a traditional background. If you are a rockstar with a non-traditional path, we'd love to talk to you!

Nice to Have

• Experience in fintech or credit card products.
• Exposure to backend systems and APIs.
• Familiarity with design systems and ensuring consistency across platforms.
• Passion for building financial products that improve people’s lives.
• In love with credit cards, points, and/or home improvement/design!

Why Join Made Now

You’ll be the senior-most frontend engineer shaping how homeowners experience the Made platform across web and mobile. This is a rare opportunity to build products at scale while also establishing the technical standards and team culture for frontend development at Made.

Benefits

• Base Compensation Band: $150,000–$200,000 (determined by experience, qualifications, and location)

• Compensation: Competitive salary with a meaningful stake in the company via equity, and 401k plan

• Health & Well-being: We’ll invest in your physical and mental well-being with comprehensive medical, dental, & vision benefits

• Grow Together: Company-wide orientation for you to successfully onboard and other learning & development opportunities including regular review cycles that feature 360 degree feedback

• Mortgage Benefit: Receive up to $25,000 toward closing costs of a new mortgage via our mortgage partners
