• 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.

You’ll thrive in this role if you

• Demonstrated experience building polished public-facing websites, microsites, landing pages, product pages, or other highly visual web surfaces.
• Strong sense of visual design, interaction design, typography, layout, motion, and user experience.
• Ability to translate briefs, design direction, and product messaging into thoughtful, production-ready web experiences.
• Experience with motion and interactivity on the web, using tools such as GSAP, Framer Motion, CSS animations, scroll-driven animation, or similar technologies.
