Senior Frontend Engineer (m/f/d)

Overview

Moonfare delivers what few others can: the highly sought-after funds and hidden-gem investments that go beyond what most private banks offer. Every opportunity is subjected to a ruthless vetting process; the bar is unforgivingly high. The result? Institutional-quality portfolios for investors who demand more. Our team combines finance veterans with talent from tech, consulting, law and industries you’d never expect. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate from eight offices across Europe, the US and Asia. If you're ready to build what's next in private markets, let's talk.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer within our Engineering team at Moonfare, you will be instrumental in translating complex private-market and regulatory logic (KYC, capital calls, eligibility rules) into clear, intuitive UIs. Our ideal candidate is ready to take on the challenge of ensuring high quality through testing and analytics in critical investment flows, while working under strict compliance and performance constraints.

Responsibilities

• You will lead and contribute to architectural decisions for building scalable, cross-platform components in close collaboration with frontend engineers.
• Design and implement new features across web and native user interfaces.

• Participate in code reviews to uphold high engineering standards and best practices.
• Optimize application performance, accessibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
• Research and experiment with emerging technologies, frameworks, and development patterns.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and introduce new ideas to enhance team efficiency and product quality.
• Develop and maintain reusable, scalable UI components for our unified design system.
• Ensure visual and functional consistency across web and native platforms, with a focus on accessibility.
• Stay current with internal tools, technologies, and programming languages.
• Share knowledge through documentation, peer learning, and collaborative sessions.

What Will Keep You Challenged?

• Handling data-heavy views (dashboards, portfolios, fund comparisons) while keeping the app fast and responsive.
• Integrating securely with backend and third-party services (auth, KYC, payments, e-signature) and managing failures gracefully.
• Maintaining a consistent design system and UX across multiple products and legacy code, while shipping new features quickly.
