About Wayflyer

Today's small businesses need a capital provider that keeps pace with their growth ambitions. Traditional financing options are slow, cumbersome and often out of reach. That's why we built Wayflyer.

Our technology allows us to assess businesses in minutes, generate financing offers that reflect their growth potential and send funds in as little as 24 hours. To date, we've deployed over $6bn to thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by Tier 1 banks like J.P. Morgan.

You'll be collaborating with ambitious colleagues from around the world. We have offices in Dublin, London, New York, Charlotte, Berlin and Sydney.

The challenge

When a founder logs into Wayflyer, what they see, and how easily they can make sense of it, directly affects whether they trust us with their business. We're building financial products that need to feel effortless.

What you'll actually do

• Lead the design and implementation of complex frontend features using TypeScript and React, ensuring high-quality, reusable components that scale across our financial products

• Provide technical leadership in architectural decisions and establish best practices for frontend development

• Partner with product and design teams to define and implement intuitive interfaces that help ecommerce brands access and manage their funding

• Drive improvements in performance, accessibility, and user experience across our platform

• Mentor junior developers and conduct thorough code reviews to maintain high code quality standards

• Collaborate with backend teams to design and implement robust API integrations

• Lead technical discussions and contribute to the team's technical strategy

• Identify and proactively address technical debt and system scalability challenges

Who thrives here

You should be comfortable making and defending technical decisions, while remaining open to feedback and alternative approaches. You'll need to balance technical excellence with business needs and help guide the team toward pragmatic solutions.

You excel at stakeholder management and can effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You're proactive in identifying and addressing potential issues before they become problems.

We look for candidates with most or all of the below traits that can point to real experience applying them.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of professional experience in software development, with deep expertise in frontend development

• Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and extensive experience with React and modern frontend architectures

• Expert knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript fundamentals with a focus on performance optimisation

• Strong experience designing and implementing RESTful APIs and managing complex state

• Experience contributing to and working with design systems.

• Solid understanding of Python and Django, with the ability to mentor others

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and maintaining high-quality testing practices

• Proven track record of leading technical initiatives and mentoring junior developers

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex problems

• Excellent communication abilities and experience managing stakeholder relationships

Given what we do, experience in financial services, fintech and business-to-business organisations is particularly interesting to us.

We hire for range

What you're like as a person and how you treat people is a big deal for us. People love working with you. You're helpful and generous with your time and knowledge. People love helping you back. People know where they stand with you.

You're always looking to learn and grow, on a personal and professional level. And you're always looking to help others learn and grow by sharing your own knowledge and experience.

You know why diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging matters, and speak up when we can do better.

What this role could turn into

Frontend engineers here tend to grow into broader technical leadership - shaping architecture across multiple products, moving into staff or principal engineering tracks, or taking on more direct influence over how we build and scale the team. The direction depends on where your interests are strongest.
