Senior Frontend Product Engineer building AI-powered revenue platform for finance teams.
Responsibilities
- We care deeply about the quality of the product we're building. We're looking for engineers who are ambitious and take ownership end-to-end: from identifying what to build, through shipping, to making sure it works for real customers.
- Here’s what you might work on:
- AI-powered workflows. Our customers spend hours on repetitive busywork - chasing approvals, sending payment reminders, routing exceptions. You'll build flexible systems that customers configure in natural language - "require VP approval for deals over $100k with annual terms" - and that needs to translate into something they can understand, trust, and debug.
- Human-in-the-loop systems. Automation only gets you so far. You'll build the interfaces that bring the right people in at the right time, with the right context: approval chains that flex to each company's rules, escalation flows that surface what matters, and dashboards that make complex workflows legible at a glance. It requires the obsessive attention to detail that makes our customers genuinely love using the product.
- We're a lean team growing to 20+ engineers. You'll have real influence on what we build and how we build it. Early enough to shape fundamental architecture. Late enough that customers depend on what you ship.
Conditions
- Salary: $180,000 - $230,000
- Equity: Meaningful share options
- 20 days vacation plus national holidays
- Competitive healthcare and 401K
- Visa sponsorship available
How to apply
- We move fast - typically 2 weeks start to finish. We've written a detailed blog post about the process with tips for how to prepare.
Other
- If you join Sequence, you'll help build the platform that lets companies get paid - we’re already processing $1bn+ in annual invoice volume and growing fast.
- We're building the AI-powered revenue platform for modern finance teams, replacing fragile spreadsheets and legacy systems with software their teams love using.
- Cognition, incident.io, MoonPay, and 100+ other high-growth companies trust us to handle their entire revenue cycle across quoting, billing, and revenue recognition.
- Founded by repeat entrepreneurs, we hit 10x ARR growth last year and just closed a $20M Series A led by 645 Ventures, alongside a16z and exceptional founders and CFOs from companies like Decagon, Klaviyo and Wise.
- Small team, big opportunity, real ownership. You'll do work that matters, have direct access to customers, and grow alongside the company.
- If you want to do the best work of your career at a company that's scaling fast, we'd love to meet you.
- Watchtower: our command center for AI agents. As we introduce agents that automate financial workflows, customers need visibility and control. This included building our first agent - a contract intake system that extracts customer and pricing information from uploaded or emailed contracts, taking customers from signed contract to automated billing in minutes.
- A fully integrated e-signature experience for quotes. When a customer is closing a deal, friction kills momentum. We rebuilt the signing experience - including embedded authentication and branded emails - into a seamless signing experience used by teams at the top tech companies every day.
- Role-based access controls across the product. Different companies have different structures, but they all need tight control over who can approve deals or access sensitive data. This meant designing a flexible RBAC model that handles resources across surfaces.
- See more of what we’ve shipped in our public changelog .
- You're a builder who wants to solve problems end-to-end:
- You’ve built and shipped high quality web apps in product-lead businesses
- You have experience with modern front-end development (e.g., React, Typescript)
- You have a keen attention to visual detail and can faithfully bring UX to life
- You care about customers - you want to understand why you're building something, not just what
- You’re comfortable with ambiguity. You thrive in early ideation stages, share work-in-progress to gather feedback, and adapt easily based on input
- You communicate clearly. Thoughtful communication is a superpower that sharpens how we collaborate and build
- We're a small team moving fast on hard problems. That might not be a fit if you:
- Enjoy larger organisation structures and staying only within your area of expertise. Taking ownership here means doing whatever the problem needs
- Want a traditional engineering team set up, with a predictable roadmap and clearly scoped out tickets provided for you
- Prefer a slower pace. Customers are depending on what we ship
- Aren't comfortable with production responsibility. We're revenue-critical infrastructure - on-call matters here
- We hire for ability, not a specific tech stack. Here’s what we use:
- Frontend: TypeScript, React, Tanstack Query, Jotai, Playwright
- Backend: Kotlin, Postgres, BigQuery
- Infrastructure: Google Cloud, Vercel, Terraform
- Monitoring: Google Cloud Monitoring, Sentry, PostHog
- Tools : GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear
- Read our engineering principles
- We’re based in London and New York and love spending as much time with our colleagues as possible. We spend three days together in the office, with team lunch on Wednesdays.
- You'll join a cross-functional product team working directly with design and product. We get together twice a year for company offsites.
