We're seeking a full-time Staff Frontend Engineer with experience in Fintech or marketplaces to shape the direction of our front-end practice. You'll be at the center of our engineering organization — not only building user experiences yourself, but owning technical architecture across the team, mentoring senior engineers, and driving decisions that influence multiple teams as we deliver an ambitious roadmap of banking and SaaS products.
Deep technical craft and domain mastery will be core to how you lead — architecting for scale, connecting fintech and healthcare domain knowledge to product strategy, and setting the standard for what good engineering looks like. (📍 Taipei-based Only)

Scope & Ambiguity

Leads company-wide technical initiatives spanning roughly 6 months (e.g., a security roadmap).
Communication & Collaboration
Builds org-level consensus in highly ambiguous situations, even amid conflicting stakeholder interests.
Technical Influence
