About Lev

Lev is transforming the $600B commercial real estate financing space. We have built a platform that uses AI to match brokers and borrowers with the best-fit lenders for their deals, and automate the most time-consuming parts of the financing process. 

We are the first company to be tackling this problem at scale, which is why top-tier VCs and a who’s who of financial companies have invested more than $100M to help us grab this massive opportunity.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to help us build and scale our next-generation digital financing platform. You’ll be a key contributor to our product development efforts, delivering intuitive, performant, and visually polished user interfaces that power the core workflows of borrowers, brokers, and lenders.

You’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and backend engineering to bring complex workflows to life in a fast-moving, AI-native startup environment.

Our frontend stack is built with React.js, Typescript, using GraphQL to communicate with our Backend services.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop responsive, component-driven UIs in React.js that serve our borrower and lender users.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to implement new products and features, from concept to release.
• Integrate with our GraphQL API layer to build fast, reliable, and maintainable data flows.
• Partner with designers to translate wireframes and prototypes into pixel-perfect frontend experiences.
• Continuously improve performance, usability, and accessibility across the platform.
• Write robust tests and maintain frontend reliability as the product scales.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and team rituals to raise the bar on engineering quality.
• Contribute to shaping frontend best practices, tooling, and UI component systems.
• Embrace and experiment with AI-native developer tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot to move faster and smarter.

The Must Haves

• 5+ years of experience building modern web applications with React.js or similar frameworks.
• Strong understanding of component architecture, state management, and performance optimization.
• Experience working with GraphQL, REST APIs, or similar data fetching patterns.
• Deep appreciation for clean, maintainable, and testable code.
• High ownership mentality – you take initiative and drive projects to completion.
• Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with tight feedback loops.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience working closely with backend engineers and product designers.
• Familiarity with AI-first product interfaces or agent-based tools.
• Experience with tools like Replit, Cursor, Figma, or AI code assistants.
• Exposure to building multi-step workflows or B2B SaaS applications.

The Nitty Gritty

• This is an office-based role in NYC (4 days in office)
• Unlimited PTO
• Excellent health insurance for you and your dependents
• Generous stock incentive plan
• Daily DoorDash credit for lunch and plenty of in-office snacks
