About the company

Point Predictive is redefining fraud detection and risk decisioning for lenders through large-scale consortium data, machine learning, and real-time systems. We are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to help design, build, and maintain the customer-facing web applications behind our core products - the interfaces lenders use to interact with our real-time APIs, data, and decisioning systems at scale across financial institutions.

In this role you’ll work closely with backend engineers, Data Science, Product, and Design to turn complex risk signals and model outputs into clear, intuitive, production-ready experiences. The ideal candidate brings strong technical depth and execution rigor - a hands-on engineer who takes ownership of the interfaces they build, raises the bar on quality and usability, and leverages modern AI tools to improve engineering velocity and reliability.
