Senior Software Engineer (Frontend)

Footprint builds an agentic platform for financial crime compliance teams. The Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) will build and own user-facing product features, developer SDKs, frontend platform tooling, performance and observability, and the design system.

Responsibilities

• User-facing features, end to end. From spec to build to deploy to iterate, making the product and design tradeoffs along the way. The analyst-facing surfaces are the newest part of the product and the least settled
• The SDKs external developers use to embed Footprint. Clean APIs and good docs here shape our customers' integration experience directly, and those decisions are hard to take back once someone has shipped against them
• Platform and tooling. CI/CD, releases, and our pnpm monorepo. This work has been carried alongside product work, which is why it's on this list
• Performance and observability. You own the performance budgets and the monitoring for screens people sit in all day
• The design system. Own and evolve the component library, keeping the UI consistent, accessible, and fast to build on
• Customer empathy. Talk to the people who use what you build and turn what they struggle with into the product

Skills

• 4+ years shipping production frontend in modern React and TypeScript - fluent in both, and comfortable moving fast in a large shared codebase
• You ship end to end, prioritize outcomes, and make smart tradeoffs between speed, polish, and scope
• Genuine design sense - you sweat the details, and the interfaces you ship show it
• You write readable, well-structured code and can lead technical decisions without over-engineering
• You've owned the lifecycle of what you ship: the release, the performance budget, and the alert that fires when it regresses
• You use AI to move faster and raise quality, and you read every line you ship
• Experience building or maintaining SDKs or developer-facing APIs
• A strong eye for accessibility and web performance
• Familiarity with KYC, identity, fraud, or compliance
• Comfort dipping into a Rust backend

Benefits

• Equity packages
• Free lunch and dinner (after 7pm)
• Monthly wellness stipend
• Unlimited PTO
• Fully covered health, dental, and vision insurance
