Product Engineer (Frontend) - Investments Team

The Role

We're hiring a Frontend Engineer to join the Investments team — the stream responsible for making workplace pensions and retirement savings feel as intuitive as the best consumer apps.

Your team owns everything employees and employers see when it comes to retirement: contribution dashboards, fund selection flows, pension provider integrations, and the data surfaces that help people actually understand and engage with their savings. It's genuinely complex, financially meaningful work — and most of it is crying out for great frontend thinking.

You'll work closely with our Product Lead and backend engineers to ship high-quality, performant UIs that make one of the most important financial decisions in people's lives feel simple.

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 — contributions, fund performance, provider configurations — into clear, elegant interfaces
• 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

What We're Looking For

• 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

Bonus: Experience in FinTech, pensions, or financial services; familiarity with Vercel; experience building design systems or accessibility-first UIs
