About us
Join bonify, Germany’s leading platform for credit scoring and financial management. We are on the mission to revolutionize the FinTech industry and make the credit score and financial data available and transparent for our users. We are seeking a talented Staff Engineer — Frontend (Web & Mobile) to join our dynamic team in Berlin.
We are hiring a Staff / Senior Staff Frontend Engineer to lead the next evolution of our frontend platform, with a primary focus on our React Native mobile apps (iOS & Android) and supporting web (React) surfaces where they add value. This role goes beyond feature delivery: you will modernize frontend architecture, raise engineering standards, and help shape how frontend systems scale over time.
You will act as a force multiplier across teams, setting technical direction while staying hands-on where leverage is highest.
While this is a frontend-focused role, we value engineers with an end-to-end mindset. You’ll work closely with backend, product, and design partners to deliver high-quality, reliable user experiences.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent impact)
- Deep, hands-on experience with React in production environments
- Strong experience with React Native and mobile app development (iOS and Android)
- Solid understanding of frontend system design — beyond UI implementation
- Experience leading large-scale refactors or platform transformations in existing codebases
- Strong understanding of performance, rendering behavior, and optimization techniques on web and mobile
- Experience working with design systems and component libraries at scale
- Practical knowledge of CI/CD for web and mobile applications
- Experience with frontend observability, monitoring, and performance measurement
- Ability to think in terms of platform leverage: shared primitives, safer defaults, tooling, and long-term maintainability
- Strong collaboration skills — comfortable working across teams, closely with backend experts, product and stakeholders
- Ability to balance technical quality with delivery and business constraints
- Strong written and verbal communication — able to explain trade-offs and influence decisions across teams
If you enjoy shaping frontend platforms, improving performance and reliability at scale, and raising the bar across teams — we’d love to talk.
