Mid-Level Frontend Engineer - Investments Team

About the Role

We're hiring a Frontend Engineer to join the Investments team at Kota, a company dedicated to making insurance and retirement benefits accessible through modern software. This Frontend Engineer remote position offers you the chance to work on the world’s first fully integrated benefits platform, helping to transform workplace pensions and retirement savings into intuitive experiences.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain employer and employee-facing UIs for pension and retirement products using React and modern frontend frameworks.
• Translate complex financial data and workflows into clear, elegant interfaces that enhance user experience.
• Contribute to frontend architecture decisions to ensure scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability across the Investments stream.
• Create reusable components and design patterns that can be shared across Kota’s broader platform.
• Collaborate with design, product, and backend engineers to ship features quickly and reliably.
• Own your code in production — debug issues, respond to incidents, and continuously improve reliability and experience.
• Participate in code reviews and technical planning, helping us maintain high standards without slowing things down.

Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience building production web applications with React, and familiarity with frameworks like Remix.js, Next.js, or React Router.
• Strong instincts for UX and design — you care about how things feel, not just how they work.
• Comfortable working with TypeScript and TailwindCSS.
• Experience consuming REST APIs and working with structured financial or transactional data is a big plus.
• You thrive in small, fast-moving teams where ownership is real and the feedback loop is short.
• Comfortable with some ambiguity — we’re growing fast and figuring things out as we go.

Nice to Have

• Experience in FinTech, pensions, or financial services.
• Familiarity with Vercel.
• Experience building design systems or accessibility-first UIs.

What We Offer

• Meaningful work — pensions are one of the most under-loved and underfunded parts of people’s financial lives. What you build here genuinely matters.
• Modern stack — React, Remix.js, .NET 8, PostgreSQL, and clean infrastructure. No legacy baggage.
• Craft-driven culture — we care about clean design, quality, and thoughtful experiences.
• Autonomy and trust — we hire people and give them the space to do their best work.
• Impact from day one — we’re a small, focused team. What you ship matters immediately.

Our Values

• Care deeply — our products are our story; we look at the details and go the extra mile to delight customers.
• Integrity — we care deeply about our why and it won’t jeopardize our how.
• Fearless — we exist because we decided to say no to the norm; now we do this every day.
• Raise the Bar — we push past good enough — expect more, move faster, raise the standard.
• Ownership — ask why, do the work, get the data, solve the problem, be an owner.
