Senior Frontend Engineer, Spend

How you'll make impact

You'll build and improve frontend experiences that simplify expense management for businesses, from real-time expense tracking and automated receipt capture to approvals and integrations.

• Build maintainable, scalable web interfaces using React and TypeScript, contributing to a domain-based Micro Frontend architecture.
• Partner with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to clarify requirements, iterate quickly, and deliver high-quality experiences in production.
• Integrate frontend applications with backend services through Apollo GraphQL and a Backend-for-Frontend layer, while contributing to shared UI components and the team's design system.
• Raise engineering standards through code reviews, testing, documentation, bug triage, frontend performance improvements, and participation in Frontend Guild discussions, technical spikes, and experimentation.

You'll work from our San Francisco office three days a week.

What we're looking for

Essentials

• 6+ years of professional frontend software development experience.
• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong experience with JavaScript or TypeScript, React, HTML/CSS, and modern web development practices.
• Experience integrating frontend applications with APIs and improving frontend performance.
• A track record of writing well-tested, maintainable code and contributing to technical documentation.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and design.

Preferred

• Experience with GraphQL, design systems, or Micro Frontend architecture.
• Exposure to CI/CD, monitoring, and frontend observability tools.
• An interest in product development and a user-centric mindset.

You'll thrive here if

• You're comfortable owning the roadmap yourself.
• You own the outcome and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken.
• You're not precious about your ideas. You push hard for what you believe in, but you pivot fast when the data says otherwise.
• You say what you mean. You're direct, but you lead with respect.
• You simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.

Learn more about your team

The Spend team builds Airwallex's financial operating layer for modern businesses, bringing together corporate cards, expenses, bills, and procurement on top of our accounts, payments, and issuing infrastructure. We're building AI that makes real decisions about expenses, policies, and payments, aiming to get 95%+ of submissions down to one click, while every workflow still has to hold up across multi-entity businesses, currencies, and audit trails. This is a team for people who want broad ownership across product, data, and AI, while the roadmap is still being defined.

If you want to build production AI for real financial workflows that directly change how businesses operate, this is where that work happens.
