Senior Frontend Engineer (m/f/d)

As a Senior Frontend Engineer within our Engineering team at Moonfare, you will be instrumental in translating complex private-market and regulatory logic (KYC, capital calls, eligibility rules) into clear, intuitive UIs. Our ideal candidate is ready to take on the challenge of ensuring high-quality thorough testing and analytics in critical investment flows, while working under strict compliance and performance constraints.

You will:

• You will lead and contribute to architectural decisions for building scalable, cross-platform components in close collaboration with frontend engineers.
• Design and implement new features across web and native user interfaces.
• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code using modern frontend technologies.
• Collaborate with product, design, business stakeholders, and backend teams to deliver seamless, high-quality user experiences.

• Participate in code reviews to uphold high engineering standards and best practices.
• Optimize application performance, accessibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
• Research and experiment with emerging technologies, frameworks, and development patterns.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and introduce new ideas to enhance team efficiency and product quality.
• Develop and maintain reusable, scalable UI components for our unified design system.
• Ensure visual and functional consistency across web and native platforms, with a focus on accessibility.
• Stay current with internal tools, technologies, and programming languages.
• Share knowledge through documentation, peer learning, and collaborative sessions.

Challenges to overcome:

• Handling data-heavy views (dashboards, portfolios, fund comparisons) while keeping the app fast and responsive.
• Integrating securely with backend and third-party services (auth, KYC, payments, e-signature) and managing failures gracefully.
• Maintaining a consistent design system and UX across multiple products and legacy code, while shipping new features quickly.
