Bipsync is a fast growing, venture-funded SaaS startup with a product obsessively designed to help financial organizations manage their research. Our customers are multi-billion-dollar financial institutions, based all over the world.

As a Front-end Developer you’ll define and develop the core product features on a range of platforms, including web, desktop and mobile. Our full tech stack includes many modern technologies and learning opportunities, and you’ll have the opportunity to work on green-field projects atop the Bipsync platform.

You will join our experienced product engineering team, working out of our modern and spacious Cardiff office in Stadium Plaza, a stone’s throw from Cardiff Central train station. We also have an office in New York with the potential for international travel.

You must have extensive experience with JavaScript and web technologies in general. You should have an eye for good user-experience and high attention to detail. Ideally you’ll have been heavily involved in the design or prototyping of other products or applications.

We offer a competitive salary and significant benefits in an exciting, friendly and flexible work environment. We are an equal-opportunities company that values diversity, and welcome all qualified applicants.

About the Front-end Developer Role

You will join the product development team, which is responsible for all aspects of the Bipsync product. This includes web, desktop and iOS apps, a browser extension and a suite of plugins.

As a Front-end developer, you will help define and develop new features and iterate existing ones, always taking into account end-user needs and product vision. You’ll enjoy a short feedback loop through our continuous integration and deployment system and our dedicated QA team will assist in validating your work.

• Plan, prototype, build and deploy software features in collaboration with the product team.
