Frontend Engineer (React/Next.js) - Corporate Finance Platform

🔷 About StrategyBridge

Who we are

We're setting new standards in corporate finance. With a focused team of 30 — one in four of us a former founder — we combine deep expertise in finance, data science and AI to build THE platform for deal & advisory teams, strategy departments, auditors and banks. We're one of the fastest-growing startups in the DACH-region and now scaling internationally. Our ambition is clear: to set the global standard.

Our Culture

• Ownership. You own your topics end to end, from idea to shipped.
• Strong opinions, loosely held. We argue hard about the right solution, then commit together.
• Simple beats clever. The simplest thing that solves the problem wins. We'd rather ship clear code than impressive code.
• Leave it better than you found it. Speed is a priority, but we don't trade it for technical debt that kills future velocity. We build simple, modular systems that are easy for the next person (or future you) to understand.
• Mistakes are a gift. We make mistakes and learn from them. The one thing we avoid is making the same one twice.
• Serious about the work, not about ourselves. We take our goals seriously, ourselves less so.

🔷 The role: Frontend Engineer (React/Next.js)

Small team, high bar. You'll help shape how our product looks and behaves for corporate finance teams who use it every day — taking features from idea to production with the motivation and ownership of a founder. We're looking for someone with at least 2 years of professional experience. Your responsibilities will include:

• Challenge the 'why' behind a feature. You think about the edge cases of an M&A workflow and how a user will actually interact with data-heavy dashboards.
• Design and build high-performance features in React / Next.js.
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers to define clean, efficient APIs and data flows.
• Shape frontend architecture and contribute to key product decisions.
• Collaborate with clients and internal teams to build the best UX.
• Bring an eye for design and usability: you know what “good UI” feels like and how to get there.
• Maintain a clear overview of our systems, addressing technical debt while ensuring performance, accessibility, and long-term scalability.
• Take ownership from concept to deployment, continuously improving our stack.

🔷 Qualifications - to be successful in this role, you will need:

Must-haves

• We expect the motivation and ownership of a founder. You own problems end-to-end and care more about the user outcome than your ticket description.
• 2+ years of professional experience with proven track-record designing & developing scalable and reliable software.
• Technical fluency, including TS / React / Next.js and TailwindCSS. You understand what’s happening "under the hood" of your framework and state management (Zustand/React Query).

• Experience handling complex, data-heavy frontends. You know how to keep a UI responsive when dealing with large datasets or complex filtered views.
• You use AI/LLM tools to move faster, but you have the technical depth to audit their output and maintain high code quality. No "AI slop".
• You've built with LLMs in production — and know the difference between a demo and something users can actually rely on. 
• Strong communication and structured problem-solving skills.
• Degree in CS, Math, Physics, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience in fintech and data-intensive applications
• Familiarity with backend technologies (Python, databases, REST/GraphQL APIs).
• Founding-experience - entrepreneurial drive, resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity.

🔷 What we offer

• Responsibility from day one: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and the room to actually shape the product.
