Job Location: Nigeria (Hybrid)

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Frontend Engineer with a strong focus on public-facing web experiences, motion, interactivity, and high-quality frontend craft.
This role is for someone who can take a brief and turn it into a polished, production-ready web experience end-to-end. You should be comfortable working from early concept through implementation, shaping interaction patterns, translating visual direction into expressive web surfaces, and shipping experiences that are beautiful, accessible, fast, and reliable.
You will work on some of Paystack’s most visible web properties, including our main website, product pages, launch surfaces, educational pages, microsites, and other public-facing experiences. The ideal person combines strong frontend engineering fundamentals with a sharp eye for design, interaction, motion, and detail.
You’ll collaborate closely with design, product, marketing, content, and engineering teams to create clear, engaging, and memorable web experiences for merchants, developers, partners, and businesses across Africa.
This role is hybrid and requires working from the Paystack office closest to you for at least two days a week.

Translate briefs, product narratives, visual direction, and design explorations into polished, interactive web experiences.
Design and build responsive, accessible, motion-rich, and high-performing interfaces using modern frontend technologies.
Shape interaction patterns and web experience ideas, especially where the solution is not fully specified upfront.
Collaborate closely with design, product, marketing, content, and engineering teams to create web experiences that communicate clearly and feel distinctively Paystack.
Build reusable patterns, components, and interaction systems that improve the quality and speed of future web work.
Bring strong judgment to frontend implementation decisions, including animation approach, rendering strategy, performance tradeoffs, accessibility, and maintainability.
Partner with other frontend engineers to improve our web architecture, development workflows, deployment processes, and frontend standards.
Mentor engineers through code reviews, implementation feedback, and technical guidance.
Help raise the overall quality bar for craft, interaction, accessibility, and polish across Paystack’s web surfaces.

6+ years of frontend engineering experience, with strong proficiency in React, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frontend tooling.
Demonstrated experience building polished public-facing websites, microsites, landing pages, product pages, or other highly visual web surfaces.
