The Impact You’ll Drive
We’re looking for a Tech Leader for our Frontend team who can own the architecture, quality, and scalability of our frontend systems. This role goes beyond coding - you’ll shape how our products feel, perform, and evolve.
You’ll work closely with product, design, and backend teams to build intuitive, high-performance applications while mentoring a team of engineers and setting strong frontend engineering standards.
The Hats You Will Wear
- Lead the design and architecture of scalable frontend systems using React
- Drive engineering best practices across code quality, performance, and security
- Mentor and manage a team of frontend engineers (code reviews, hiring, coaching)
- Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to deliver seamless user experiences
- Own end-to-end delivery of frontend features—from design to production
- Improve application performance, responsiveness, and usability at scale
- Establish and enforce frontend standards, design systems, and reusable components
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks across browsers, devices, and environments
- Stay updated with evolving frontend ecosystem and drive adoption where relevant
The Perfect Fit
- 7 - 10 years of frontend development experience with at least 2 years in a leadership role
- Strong expertise in React JS, Hooks, state management (Redux/Zustand, etc.)
- Deep understanding of JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, and modern UI patterns
- Proven experience in frontend architecture and scalable system design
- Experience working with REST APIs and complex backend integrations
- Strong grasp of performance optimization, caching, lazy loading, and rendering strategies
- Experience with build tools (Webpack, Vite, Babel, etc.)
- Strong understanding of cross-browser compatibility and responsive design
- Hands-on experience with code reviews, testing, and debugging
- Excellent problem-solving, stakeholder management, and communication skills
Your Edge Over the Rest
- B2C fintech / consumer internet experience (strong preference)
- Experience with TypeScript
- Exposure to testing frameworks (Jest/Cypress)
- Experience with mobile-first or React Native ecosystems
The Problem We’re Solving
Financial institutions today are held back by legacy systems that are slow, rigid, and expensive to scale. Launching or evolving credit, lending, and UPI products often takes months, requires heavy engineering effort, and limits the ability to create personalized customer experiences.
At the same time, customer expectations have changed - speed, flexibility, and tailored financial products are no longer optional. Banks and fintechs need infrastructure that allows them to innovate quickly, adapt continuously, and scale without friction.
This is where we come in.
At Vegapay, we are building modern, configurable fintech infrastructure that enables banks, NBFCs, and enterprises to design, launch, and manage credit and payment programs with ease. Our platform brings together flexibility, speed, and control - helping our partners unlock new growth opportunities and deliver personalized banking experiences at scale.
The Opportunity Ahead
- Build 0 → 1 and scale fintech products
- Own systems end-to-end, not just features
- Work directly with founders & leadership
- Solve real scale + performance problems
- Strong focus on engineering quality & velocity
