Role
Who you are
- Know the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems and tooling
- Know how to build a React application and understand how the browser works
- Understand data-fetching and caching patterns in front end applications
- Know how forms work
- Have an opinion on CSS and how it should be done in modern applications (it doesn’t matter what the opinion is, just that you have one!)
- Have experience with front end observability and monitoring
- Believe in owning the entire application lifecycle – design, development, and deployment
- Are a full contributor – you not only want to build but want to have a say in how things are built
- Are customer-centric – whether the experience is for developers or non-technical users, their experience drives you
- You see the future powered by a “connected” ecosystem of integrations and have ideas on how you want to be part of that
Desirable
- Have built serverless applications (Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Google Cloud Functions)
- Have published/maintained JS libraries

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to join our Developer Experience team
- In this role, you will help design and scale our web properties powered by our GraphQL API
- The Developer Experience team owns our customer/internal dashboards and tooling, developer documentation, and more
- While this position is primarily front end, you will also be contributing to API design decisions, helping to develop API features with UI/UX in mind
- Our stack is GraphQL, TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Tailwind
- We deploy serverless functions and believe in leveraging edge computing to deliver modern experiences
- We work closely with product and design teams to craft the experiences of our platform using our API
- We:
- Operate collaboratively, but autonomously
- Invest in tooling and automation – we do CI/CD, we codegen as much as we can, and that lets us focus on the task at hand
- Believe in experience-driven decisions – we work closely with Product and Design. We talk to customers and engage our teammates in feedback sessions
- Discuss API design…a lot
- Love prototyping and exploring
- Don’t shy away from new things – we have a lot of fun ideas
- Are ambitious
Our take
Highnote is a provider of branded payment cards which can be used by customers or employees for a range of purposes, such as in-store shopping, loyalty scheme or corporate expenses. Traditionally the process of making and issuing these cards was onerous and expensive, effectively limited to only the largest brands. Highnote allows companies of any size to issue these kinds of cards quickly, and with a far wider range of financial products built in to suit the issuer's needs, such as buy-now-pay-later options or expense reporting which can be tracked centrally.
Founded by former BrainTree and PayPal executives, Highnote has attracted a significant level of funding. It is moving quickly to overtake other companies in this space, especially incumbent Marqeta. Having built a modern platform that takes advantage of the latest innovations in the fintech sector, Highnote is working to grow its market presence and futher develop its platform. Going forward it will continue to form strategic partnerships with firms such as Visa to allow it to issue a wider range of cards and support additional financial services for its customers.
