Attributes We Value

We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.

About the team

The Client Risk Team at Airwallex is responsible for proactively detecting and managing client-level financial crime and credit risk across all Airwallex products. Our vision is to deliver a unified and data-driven view of each client by consolidating internal and external insights. We are committed to leveraging advanced machine learning and large language models (LLMs) to enhance decision intelligence, automate operational workflows, and support responsible business growth globally.

What you’ll do

As a Frontend Engineer in Client Risk, you will build and evolve the web applications used by Risk Operations, Compliance, and internal stakeholders to investigate cases, make decisions, and manage client risk at scale. You’ll design intuitive, efficient, and trustworthy user experiences for complex risk workflows, and collaborate closely with backend engineers, data scientists, product managers, and Ops teams.

While this role is primarily frontend-focused, we strongly prefer candidates who have full-stack experience or are willing to take on light backend/BFF tasks when needed—often with the help of modern coding assistants—so you can independently deliver end-to-end features when the backend scope is well-defined.

We value engineers who can “own a feature” end-to-end. If a feature requires a small, well-defined backend/BFF change, we prefer someone who is comfortable exploring and delivering it independently (with appropriate reviews and guardrails), including using coding assistants responsibly.

This role is based in Singapore.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable frontend applications for Client Risk workflows (case management, monitoring, investigations, reporting, and operational tooling).

• Partner with Product and Ops to translate ambiguous operational problems into clear UX flows that are efficient, auditable, and compliant.

• Build reusable frontend foundations (component libraries, shared modules, patterns for state management, access control, and form-heavy workflows) that enable consistent delivery across systems.

• Integrate with backend services via REST and/or GraphQL, ensuring correct data contracts, performance, and reliability for Ops-critical experiences.

• Drive frontend architecture and engineering excellence: performance optimization, observability, testing strategy, accessibility, and maintainable code practices.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with backend engineers, data, and compliance partners to ship solutions that deliver measurable operational and risk outcomes.

• (Preferred / as needed) Contribute to BFF or light backend tasks (e.g., Node.js BFF endpoints, simple API integrations, minor schema changes) to unblock end-to-end delivery where appropriate—always with strong engineering rigor and review.

Who you are

Minimum qualifications

• 2+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, including ownership of complex web applications.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+), with deep understanding of HTML5/CSS3.

• Strong experience with React and its ecosystem (state management, routing, component patterns, performance); experience with Vue/Angular is a plus.

• Experience designing and delivering frontend architecture for large-scale web systems (modularization, build tooling, shared components, maintainability).

• Familiarity with common frontend styling and UI approaches (e.g., Emotion, styled-components, SCSS) and UI libraries/frameworks (e.g., Material UI, Ant Design, Bootstrap).

• Solid understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, browser fundamentals, and API integration patterns; experience building reliable, user-friendly flows on top of RESTful APIs.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills; able to work effectively with Product, Ops, backend engineers, and other stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.

• A strong quality mindset: you care about correctness, user impact, maintainability, and operational safety.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience building BFF services using Node.js (or willingness to pick this up) and understanding how to design pragmatic API aggregation layers for frontend needs.

• Full-stack experience, or strong willingness to take on well-scoped backend tasks (e.g., simple services/endpoints, data modeling changes) when it improves delivery speed and ownership.

• Experience with GraphQL, Next.js, and modern frontend platform patterns (module federation, micro-frontends, monorepos, etc.).

• Experience with performance and reliability in Ops-critical environments: logging, monitoring, error tracking, and incident-driven improvements.

• Familiarity with data tracking and analytics tools (e.g., GA, GTM) and using data to improve product UX and operational outcomes.

• Experience with engineering best practices and tooling: CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, testing methodologies (BDD/TDD), and modern build tooling (Webpack/Rollup/Polyfills).

• Domain experience in fintech, risk, compliance, or financial crime, and/or experience building internal tools for operational teams.
