Senior Frontend Engineer

Back to jobs New Senior Frontend Engineer New York City, Hybrid About Monstro Monstro is a governed AI platform for regulated financial institutions. We give banks and wealth managers a way to deliver trusted advice digitally — to every client, not just the top tier. Institutions already have the relationships, data, and context to understand each client. Monstro turns that understanding into advice. It gives every client the experience of a personal advisor: bringing together their full financial picture, identifying what matters, and delivering personalized guidance across investments, tax, retirement, insurance, legal, and more. For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives. For institutions, it means deeper relationships, more clients served consistently, and more of each client's financial life managed in one place. What makes this possible is how the system is built. Every recommendation reflects the institution's own views, policies, and permissions. Every output is auditable, traceable, and reversible, and client data stays under the institution's control. Generative AI shapes how advice is designed; at runtime, execution is deterministic — so every output can be explained and stood behind, not just trusted. The work We are building for a high-stakes industry where the work has real consequences. The challenge is to make advice more personal and more available without making it less trusted — to build AI that institutions can audit, explain, and reverse, in a domain where being wrong carries real cost. That is a hard problem, and it is the reason to be here. You will work on technology that brings real financial advice to people who have rarely had access to it. You will be expected to think clearly, move with urgency, hold a high bar, and take responsibility for work that matters. We are an early team building something ambitious, and what you do here will shape both the product and the company. What You'll Do Responsive Product Development in an AI-powered workflow Build and own features across our React applications, delivering polished experiences for our users and clients.

Frontend Architecture Drive architectural decisions for our frontend stack—component structure, state management, navigation patterns, and API integration strategies. Establish patterns and abstractions that balance developer velocity with long-term maintainability. Quality & Test-Driven Development Champion a test-driven development culture. Design and implement comprehensive testing strategies spanning unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. Ensure the codebase remains reliable and regression-free as we scale.
