Senior Front End Software Engineer

Charlotte, NC

Sr. Front End Software Engineer

WHO WE ARE

DebtBook is the financial platform powering treasury and capital markets across the public sector. State and local governments, public universities, health systems, and the bankers and advisors who serve them run trillions of dollars in debt, cash, and investments on DebtBook.

We've built the most sophisticated treasury platform in public finance — sitting at the intersection of treasury management and a $4 trillion fixed income market that's been waiting for modern infrastructure.

HOW WE WORK

  • Our product is built on a Single Page App in React, TypeScript, and MUI, talking to a Ruby on Rails JSON API with PostgreSQL, all hosted in AWS. We ship through GitLab pipelines and use feature flags for continuous integration.
  • Our engineers are full-stack — most lean one direction or the other, but everyone is comfortable across the stack.
  • We have a small dedicated infrastructure team.
  • Engineers work hand-in-hand with product managers, designers, and subject matter experts.
  • Engineers lead projects before they're Senior. We coach people into leading planning, breakdown, and execution.
  • Leaders don't do all the work — they do enough to know how to do it well, then coach and delegate.
  • We don't expect perfect execution. We expect a willingness to try new things and to improve over time.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Front-End Engineer at DebtBook, you'll be a specialist on a team of full-stack engineers — owning the quality, patterns, and direction of our front-end while keeping it deeply connected to the rest of the stack. You'll:

  • Build and shape our front-end. Write thoughtful React/TypeScript code, contribute to design and usability decisions, and stay close to the middle stack — Rails controllers, simple queries, glue logic, and basic Rails testing — so the front-end never feels like a mysterious box to the rest of the team.
  • Be a force multiplier. The measure of success for the front-end at DebtBook isn't what you ship — it's what you enable the whole team to ship.
  • Improve how front-end work gets done. Sharpen our processes, tools, and patterns so we move faster without trading away quality.
  • Coach and onboard. Train teammates on front-end best practices and help new engineers ramp up on the trickier parts of our UI.
  • Drive AI-assisted development on the front-end. Use AI tools yourself across the SDLC, figure out what works best for our codebase, and help spread those practices across the team.
  • Find simple patterns the whole team can adopt. We avoid complexity, even behind abstractions — back-end engineers should be able to read and reason about front-end work without surprises.
  • Help us hire well. Partner on recruiting for engineers and designers, and flag the front-end and design skills the team is missing.
  • Speak up when things aren't going well. We'd rather hear it early.

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 4+ years of software engineering experience
  • Professional experience with React
  • Comfort touching the back-end — even as a front-end specialist, you should be willing to dip into Rails controllers, queries, and tests when the work calls for it
  • Experience with Ruby on Rails or SQL is a plus
  • Experience with AI-assisted development, or genuine enthusiasm to go deep
  • Comfort operating in a high-growth environment where priorities shift and scope evolves

OUR “GOAT” VALUES

GROW Continuously

  • We believe in continuous improvement, never accepting the status quo as good enough, and iterating to move quickly without compromising on quality.
  • We are energized by the fast-paced rate of change that growth demands and see new challenges as opportunities for resilience and personal development.
  • We are driven by curiosity to think creatively, innovate, and experiment, and we humbly incorporate lessons learned from success and failure along the journey.

OWN Your Outcomes

  • We hold ourselves accountable for exceptional effort, execution, reliability, professionalism, and results that add tremendous value for customers.
  • We are all individual contributors, responsible for delivering value to our customers, team, and company with every action we take. 
  • As managers, we lead by example in both what we do and how we do it, and stay personally familiar with the work as we coach our teams.
  • We follow through on our decisions and commitments with action.

ABOVE & Beyond 

  • We create moments of magic, surprising and delighting our customers at every touchpoint.
  • We run towards problems and enthusiastically jump in to help colleagues however we can be valuable.
  • We take pride in proactively doing the extra little things that set us apart, even when no one is watching.

TEAM Over Ego

  • There is no task needed at DebtBook that is beneath any of us.
  • We work hard to be the teammate others want on their team.
  • We have the courage to have hard conversations and the grace to receive honest feedback in pursuit of excellence.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
