Senior Frontend Engineer (m/f/d)

As a Senior Frontend Engineer within our Engineering team at Moonfare, you will be instrumental in translating complex private-market and regulatory logic (KYC, capital calls, eligibility rules) into clear, intuitive UIs. Our ideal candidate is ready to take on the challenge of ensuring high quality through testing and analytics in critical investment flows, while working under strict compliance and performance constraints.

You will:

• You will lead and contribute to architectural decisions for building scalable, cross-platform components in close collaboration with frontend engineers.

• Share knowledge through documentation, peer learning, and collaborative sessions.

What Will Keep You Challenged?:

• Handling data-heavy views (dashboards, portfolios, fund comparisons) while keeping the app fast and responsive.
• Integrating securely with backend and third-party services (auth, KYC, payments, e-signature) and managing failures gracefully.
