Senior Front End Software Engineer Charlotte, NC

Debt Book 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 Debt Book.

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 has been waiting for modern infrastructure.

• Our product is built on a Single Page App in React, Type Script, and MUI, talking to a Ruby on Rails JSON API with Postgre
  
  SQL, all hosted in AWS. We ship through Git Lab 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.

• Build and shape our front-end. Write thoughtful React/Type Script 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 Debt Book 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.

• 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
