Company mission
To be the fastest and easiest way to build the future of FinTech.
Role
Who you are
- Our dream candidate has a strong ownership mindset and takes the initiative to look at the big picture and optimize for user experience across end-to-end workflows
- 5+ years of experience as a Frontend Software Engineer (or equivalent experience in a similar role)
- Proficiency in React, TypeScript, and React Hooks
- Familiarity with web fundamentals like JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and RESTful APIs
- A good eye for design patterns, web architecture, and building user-friendly experiences
- Strong problem-solving skills and an ability to write clean, efficient, and scalable code
- Bonus if you have experience with banking systems, billing, or financial services interfaces—but it's not required!
What the job involves
- As a frontend software engineer, on our Billing & Lifecycle team, you'll build core user experiences that empower Operations and Finance teams to track billing, money movement, and revenue. Your work will help FinTechs efficiently navigate Synctera's platform by optimizing workflows and enhancing operational tools
- This role is responsible for shaping many of the most important interactions internal and external operational teams have with our user experience, and understanding the business context they operate within is important for our success
- Design and build amazing, scalable frontend applications for FinTech partners, banks, and internal teams
- Work with backend engineers and product managers to create amazing experiences
- Drive UI/UX improvements that enhance billing visibility, optimize workflows, and financial reporting
- Solve engineering problems as part of a small team
- Be a leader on the ground and in the code
- Keep learning, keep growing, and help your team do the same
- Determine process improvements, best practices, and develop new processes
- Work in close partnership with cross-functional teams
- Mentor Software Engineers to allow for skill/knowledge development through advice, coaching, and training opportunities
- Our platform is built in Go (for backend services) and React with Typescript (for the Synctera Console, our frontend). We’re built on top of Google Cloud Platform and typically use Postgres (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub/Sub as our core application stack, with OpenAPI specifications being used to both document our API and be the foundation for inter-service communication
- Our infrastructure is predominantly a mixture of Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine) and Cloud Run (Google’s serverless compute platform), with Terraform orchestrating infrastructure, and tools like Argo facilitating deployments
Our take
Synctera is a Banking-as-a-Service platform that supplies users with the capabilities to build and launch successful FinTech apps or embedded banking products. By fast-tracking the work involved in finding a banking partner, and in discovering the right best-in-class tech, the platform frees businesses up to instead focus on their core operations.
Through the Synctera platform, businesses can build bank account and card programs, as well as incorporate services such as money movement and lending. The company also provides support and resources surrounding compliance and post-launch management, making it as simple as possible for clients to tap into the growing and fertile fintech market, and do it smartly.
The company faces extensive competition in a global market worth billions, but in helping to oil the wheels of collaboration and Fintech market access, it creates value for businesses across the board and stands well to reap the rewards. Recent funding is cited to fuel geographical expansion as well as grow its operations in Canada as it moves to add support for new credit, lending, and other banking use cases.
