About Setu

India’s economic infrastructure needs a complete overhaul. Today our digital economy rides on rickety monolithic legacy systems built in the mid-90s. It takes months to do a simple bank integration and launch a fintech product. This inefficiency cannot continue.

If our economy has to grow, we need killer API infra for financial services that rivals the likes of Stripe, and AWS.

We are fixing this for good, by abstracting away the complexity of working with legacy financial infrastructure and replacing it with a developer platform that offers clean, high-performance API bundles to embed finance into any application.

So that developers can do what they do best, build amazing products that improve people’s lives.

Importance of the role
We’re a small, high-output crew. To move faster and raise quality, we need senior frontend engineers who can own experiences end-to-end: tighten feedback loops with backend, build resilient UI systems, and push our dev velocity (and DX) up and to the right. Mission-critical.

Description of the role
You’ll own the full lifecycle of user-facing products and dev-facing consoles/docs.

• Architecting — Choose the right stack (React/React Native/Flutter), state patterns, and module boundaries. Design design-systems, theming, and accessibility from day one. Plan for offline, latency, and failure modes.

• Implementation — Write clean, testable UI code; obsess over performance (bundle size, FPS, TTI), accessibility, and pixel parity. Document components, flows, and decisions for engineers, PMs, and external devs.

• Orchestration & Integration — Wire your work into CI/CD, visual regression, E2E tests, feature flags, analytics, and error reporting. Collaborate tightly with backend to define sane API contracts and versioning.

• Mentorship — Level up designers and engineers via reviews, pairing, and pattern libraries. Be equally open to being mentored—keep the learning loop alive.

• Product Thinking — You’re not “just implementing.” Scope, question, prototype, measure. Own the UX of our APIs, dashboards, and docs—where the builder is the end-user.

• Operational Excellence — Own what’s in prod: error budgets, logging, session replay, rollout/rollback plans, and postmortems.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Have shipped complex web/mobile apps at scale (auth flows, real-time updates, payments, forms with gnarly edge cases).
• Are deep in React or Flutter (bonus if you’ve done both) and comfortable with TypeScript/Dart.
• Care about accessibility, performance budgets, and micro-interactions as much as shipping quickly.
• Communicate crisply, think in systems, and sweat the DX of everyone who touches your code.
