Valiant is an innovative, award-winning platform connecting Australian business owners with the finance they need to kick goals. With pioneering tech, a diverse lending panel, and a talented team, we've revolutionised the business lending game.

We bring the human touch to finance, making it accessible to Aussie SMEs and streamlining the (traditionally tedious) application process.

Our global Enterprise arm provides embedded finance orchestration to top-tier clients across the US, Australia, and the UK. As we scale, we are looking for a visionary Frontend Lead to spearhead our UI architecture and mentor a high-performing engineering team.

The Role: What You'll Be Doing

- Quality Governance: Take full ownership of Valiant's end-to-end testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines to ensure 24/7 reliability.
- Technical Mentorship: Lead design and code reviews, fostering a culture of high engineering standards and supporting the growth of junior/mid-weight engineers.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product and Design to translate complex financial workflows into seamless, "human" user experiences.
- Optimisation: Drive performance strategies, including Core Web Vitals, code-splitting, and cross-device compatibility.
- Integration: Orchestrate complex integrations with backend systems and third‐party APIs.
