We are looking for Senior Frontend Engineers to join our Client Technology team. We build the digital experiences and services through which clients interact with Scalable Capital-from onboarding and authentication to consent, client data, and client support.

You will use React, TypeScript, Next.js, and GraphQL to simplify complex financial processes and create secure, accessible, and reliable products in a regulated environment. Typical challenges include designing intuitive onboarding and other client journeys, building frontend foundations, and balancing rapid delivery with long-term scalability.

We look for engineers with a strong product mindset who know how to strike the right balance: moving fast to deliver immediate business value while building reusable, scalable architecture for the long term. Additionally, AI is central to how we work, and you will use modern AI tooling in your day-to-day work across our products and engineering workflows.
