Kavak - Senior Front End Engineer

• 6+ years of professional experience in React or Angular • UX/UI sensibility: you understand the interface is not cosmetic, it’s functionality and experience • Backend awareness: even as a frontend engineer, you understand architecture, APIs, data flows, and how services integrate • Java + Spring Boot (or a clear willingness to learn quickly) • Frontend-backend integration: working with REST APIs, consuming services, state management • Git and team workflow practices • Active use of AI tools in your daily workflow (Claude Code, Copilot, or others) • The role is remote with availability for occasional office visits. We expect availability for in-person meetings when they accelerate decisions: workshops, hackathons, technical definitions, sessions with Product/Business, or critical delivery moments. • Experience in fintech, lending, payments, credit scoring, or collections. • Core Competencies • Ownership: You take full responsibility for your work. You seek solutions without waiting for permission. • Speed and Resilience: Kavak moves fast. We need people who thrive at a quick pace and don’t freeze. You can deliver even if everything isn’t perfect when the market needs it now. • Autonomy: We work in a small team. You must self-direct, self-evaluate, identify what’s missing, and take action. • Intellectual Curiosity: You ask questions, research, and don’t accept obvious solutions. You care about understanding why things are done a certain way. • Clear Communication: You explain technical decisions to non-technical people. You receive feedback without defensiveness. You document what matters. • Ability to work in ambiguity.
