Frontend Engineer - Fintech

🔷 About StrategyBridge Who we are We're setting new standards in corporate finance. With a focused team of 30 — one in four of us a former founder — we combine deep expertise in finance, data science and AI to build  THE  platform for deal & advisory teams, strategy departments, auditors and banks. We're one of the fastest-growing startups in the DACH-region and now scaling internationally. Our ambition is clear: to set the global standard. Our Culture Ownership.  You own your topics end to end, from idea to shipped. Strong opinions, loosely held.  We argue hard about the right solution, then commit together. Simple beats clever.  The simplest thing that solves the problem wins. We'd rather ship clear code than impressive code. Leave it better than you found it.  Speed is a priority, but we don't trade it for technical debt that kills future velocity. We build simple, modular systems that are easy for the next person (or future you) to understand. Mistakes are a gift.  We make mistakes and learn from them. The one thing we avoid is making the same one twice. Serious about the work, not about ourselves.  We take our goals seriously, ourselves less so. 🔷 The role: Frontend Engineer (React/Next.js) Small team, high bar . You'll help shape how our product looks and behaves for corporate finance teams who use it every day — taking features from idea to production with the  motivation and ownership  of a founder. We're looking for someone with at least 2 years of professional experience. Your responsibilities will include: Challenge the 'why'  behind a feature. You think about the edge cases of an M&A workflow and how a user will actually interact with data-heavy dashboards. Design and build high-performance features in  React / Next.js . Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define  clean, efficient APIs and data flows . Shape frontend  architecture  and contribute to key product decisions. Collaborate  with clients and internal teams to build  the best UX . Bring an  eye for design and usability : you know what “good UI” feels like and how to get there. Maintain a clear overview of our systems, addressing technical debt while ensuring  performance, accessibility, and long-term scalability . Take  ownership  from concept to deployment, continuously improving our stack. 🔷 Qualifications  - to be successful in this role, you will need: Must-haves We expect the  motivation and ownership  of a founder. You own problems end-to-end and care more about the user outcome than your ticket description. 2+ years  of professional experience with proven track-record designing & developing scalable and reliable software. Technical fluency,  including TS / React / Next.js and TailwindCSS. You understand what’s happening "under the hood" of your framework and state management (Zustand/React Query). Experience handling  complex, data-heavy  frontends. You know how to keep a UI responsive when dealing with large datasets or complex filtered views. You use  AI/LLM tools  to move faster, but you have the technical depth to audit their output and maintain high code quality. No "AI slop". You've built with  LLMs in production  — and know the difference between a demo and something users can actually rely on.  Strong  communication  and structured  problem-solving  skills. Degree  in CS, Math, Physics, or equivalent practical experience. Nice-to-haves Experience in  fintech  and  data-intensive applications Familiarity with  backend  technologies (Python, databases, REST/GraphQL APIs). Founding-experience -  entrepreneurial drive , resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity. 🔷 What we offer Responsibility from day one : flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and the room to actually shape the product.
