• Lifecycle Ownership: Manage the front-end lifecycle: design, development,
testing, deployment, and long-term support

• Quality Assurance: Prioritize software quality, performance, and

• Collaboration: Work closely with a fast-paced, agile team; take initiative
and contribute across various aspects of the project

• User Advocacy: Continuously iterate and improve based on feedback, data, and
personal experience to enhance user satisfaction

**What We’re Looking For**

• Familiarity with native system APIs and integrations on Windows/macOS/Linux

• Experience working with design tools and systems—especially Figma

• Deep understanding of UI architecture patterns and scalable component
libraries

• Proactive, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, and relentlessly focused
on delivering value

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset

**Nice to Haves**

• Experience with performance optimization, memory management, or low-level
system integrations

• Background in financial planning, mergers and acquisitions, or data-heavy
interfaces

• Contributions to open source projects or a personal portfolio of relevant
work

**What You’ll Get**

• The chance to shape a flagship product from the ground up

• A team that values autonomy, creativity, and speed
