Are you an experienced UX Engineer or Frontend Engineer looking to make a big impact at a mission-driven company? Do you thrive in high-autonomy startup environments? Propel is on a mission to build modern, respectful, and effective technology that helps low-income Americans improve their financial health. All of our users deserve first-class experiences in their daily interactions with the social safety net and financial services, and too often, tech leaves this population behind. We’re a passionate team of 100 Propellers – all working towards a vision where all Americans can make it through every month with dignity and abundance. We're looking for a motivated UX Engineer or Frontend Engineer to join our engineering team at Propel to help make this a reality. This role will make an impact and possibly work across several products and stacks, including interacting with government programs, surfacing savings opportunities, healthcare, frontend architecture, and more! We are looking for a passionate, user-centric engineer that is excited about working on meaningful problems and delivering beautiful solutions that have a positive impact on our users’ lives.

Requirements

• 10+ years experience in designing, building, shipping, and maintaining software at scale
• Expertise in at least one frontend language, with a willingness to learn TypeScript and Vue
• Experience working in a startup environment and ability to operate effectively and independently when faced with ambiguity
• Ability to ramp up quickly to our product ecosystem to contribute to large and impactful projects
• Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences and topics, both written and verbal
• Deep expertise working cross-functionally, especially with designers and product managers
• Ability to provide excellent feedback in technical specs, code reviews, and team discussions
• Passion for making a difference in the lives of our users

Responsibilities

• Be a strategic leader in identifying the best technical and product opportunities.
• Whether it’s hopping in to build a product from scratch in a 0-to-1 initiative or advocating for a large refactor of a legacy frontend system, this role will have a strong voice in setting the technical and product direction of the company and be hands-on in making it happen.
• Up-level and set the bar for engineering. You will be a role model for others and establish best practices when it comes to technical decisions, code hygiene, written communication and documentation, and judgment when it comes to shipping high-quality products and projects on a timeline.
• Dive deep into the most important, highest complexity product work at the company. When there is something that needs to be built quickly with high polish and scale, you’ll be someone we lean on to help get it done. You’ll be given both a lot of autonomy and a lot of support in how you want to tackle tough but rewarding challenges!
