Job description

Why Socure?

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

At Socure, we are redefining trust in the digital economy. As a Staff Frontend Engineer on our RiskOS team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the technical direction, architecture, and execution of our next-generation risk intelligence platform. You will not only design and build elegant, performant, and reliable user interfaces, but also influence engineering culture, mentor future technical leaders, and drive alignment across product and engineering teams.

This is a high-impact, senior technical leadership role for an engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, setting architectural strategy, and delivering customer-facing experiences that scale. You’ll collaborate with executives, cross-functional leaders, and distributed engineering teams to define the future of Socure’s frontend ecosystem.

What you'll do

• Define and evolve the frontend architecture, frameworks, and design systems to support large-scale, mission-critical applications.
• Partner with product, design, and backend engineering to establish long-term technical roadmaps and ensure seamless integration across systems.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to senior and junior engineers, enabling them to grow into stronger contributors and leaders.
• Drive engineering best practices across teams, including testing strategies, CI/CD, performance optimization, and accessibility standards.
• Anticipate and solve systemic issues by introducing scalable solutions that raise the bar for reliability and maintainability.
• Translate ambiguous product and business requirements into clear technical strategies and execution plans.
• Lead design and code reviews, ensuring technical excellence and high-quality delivery across the organization.
• Represent frontend engineering in cross-team architecture discussions and influence decisions that span multiple product areas.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and introduce emerging technologies when they create meaningful business or user impact.
• Contribute hands-on to key projects while creating leverage by enabling others to succeed.

What you bring

• 10+ years of professional experience building modern web applications with TypeScript, React, and associated workflows (e.g., Redux, Flux, Recoil).
• Demonstrated experience in leading large-scale frontend systems, including architecture, performance, accessibility, and security.
• Proven track record of mentoring and developing engineers into technical leaders.
• Deep expertise in design systems, reusable component libraries, and cross-application UI frameworks.
• Experience collaborating with product managers, UX designers, and executives to set strategic technical direction.
• Strong background in testing methodologies, continuous integration, and delivery pipelines.
• Experience with cloud-native environments (Google Cloud, AWS, or equivalent) and modern deployment practices.
• Bonus: Experience with graph-based UIs (e.g., react-flow, litegraph.js) and data visualization libraries.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — capable of influencing across functions and levels.
• Passion for driving innovation, tackling ambiguity, and delivering products that delight customers at scale.
