Frontend Developer
Summary
Apata, a fintech building fraud-prevention and authentication solutions for card issuers, is hiring a Frontend Developer in Dublin to build the UIs issuers and merchants use to configure cardholder transaction flows. Day to day: ship features across a React SPA, a Next.js app, and the marketing site in a pnpm/Turborepo monorepo.
Apata is a fintech company building a new generation of flexible fraud-prevention solutions for card issuers. Our platform authenticates more than 30 million e-commerce transactions a month for cardholders worldwide, and is trusted by around 100 financial institutions globally. We're growing fast, and the frontend is central to how issuers and merchants experience what we do - so this is a great time to join a small, experienced team where your work ships and matters.
What you'll work on
Our customers configure every part of the cardholder experience - the flow each cardholder moves through at transaction time - through the UI our team builds. The frontend isn't the transaction engine, but it's the surface that decides how those millions of transactions behave. You'll work across three frontend surfaces:
- A merchant-facing single-page app - React on Vite, TypeScript throughout, part of a pnpm/Turborepo monorepo, talking to a backend-for-frontend (BFF).
- A Next.js application - TypeScript, tRPC, and TanStack Query.
- Our public marketing website - the front door for prospective customers.
The two product apps are TypeScript-first and share tooling and patterns across the monorepo. You'll get exposure across all three, and to a range of frontend work as you grow with the team.
What you'll do
- Build and ship frontend features - writing reliable, reusable, well-tested code.
- Take part in code reviews and technical discussions, and grow your skills with support from the senior engineers on the team.
- Work with backend and platform engineers on the APIs your features rely on.
- Work closely with design to turn wireframes and mock-ups into high-quality components.
- Care about the performance, quality, and responsiveness of what you build.
- Contribute to technical design discussions for the features you work on.
What we're looking for
- 4+ years of professional frontend experience, comfortable working independently on well-scoped features.
- Solid, hands-on experience building with React and TypeScript - the core of both products.
- Experience with single-page apps, and either exposure to or genuine eagerness to learn server-rendered / Next.js-style applications.
- Good testing habits - writing unit and component tests for your work.
- A good understanding of how frontend work gets built and shipped.
- A collaborative approach and real eagerness to grow - you take ownership of your work, ask good questions, and level up with the team.
Nice to have
- Experience with BFF / API layers, or with tRPC.
- Domain exposure to payments, 3DS, or fintech more broadly.
What we offer
- Competitive salary and equity in a fast-growing startup.
