Proudly founded in Melbourne, we have a team of over 2,200 of the brightest and most innovative people in tech across 26 offices around the globe. Valued at US$8 billion and backed by world-leading investors including T. Rowe Price, Visa, Mastercard, Robinhood Ventures, Sequoia, Salesforce Ventures, DST Global, and Lone Pine Capital, Airwallex is leading the charge in building the global payments and financial platform of the future. If you're ready to do the most ambitious work of your career, join us. Attributes We Value We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you're motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor. You're humble and collaborative; turn zero-to-one ideas into real products, and you "get stuff done" end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you'll tackle complex, high-visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let's build what's next. About the team The Regulatory Reporting team builds and operates Airwallex's automated compliance reporting pipeline across 10+ jurisdictions globally. Beyond data pipelines, we build the internal tools that compliance and operations teams use daily - regulatory calendars, submission dashboards, AI-powered review interfaces, and data investigation workbenches. Good tooling directly reduces compliance risk and operational burden. What you'll do You will own the frontend layer of Airwallex's regulatory reporting platform - building the interfaces that compliance analysts, finance teams, and operations staff use to review, validate, and manage regulatory submissions. Responsibilities - Build and maintain internal web applications for regulatory report review, submission tracking, and compliance calendar management. - Design and implement data-heavy UI components: tables, charts, and drill-down views for financial data at scale. - Build AI-assisted review interfaces - workbenches where compliance teams interact with LLM agents for regulatory interpretation and gap analysis. - Collaborate with backend engineers on API design and data contracts; own the BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) layer where needed. - Contribute to shared component libraries and design system conventions used across Core Banking tooling. - Implement client-side data validation and error handling appropriate for high-stakes compliance workflows. - Set up and maintain frontend testing practices (unit, integration, E2E) and CI/CD pipelines. Who you are Minimum qualifications - 5+ years of frontend development experience. - Proficient in React and TypeScript; comfortable with modern state management patterns. - Experience building complex, data-intensive web applications - tables, filters, charts, drill-down views. - Strong understanding of API integration (REST, GraphQL). - Detail-oriented about UI correctness and data presentation accuracy. Preferred qualifications - Experience building internal tooling or operational dashboards in a fintech or data-heavy domain. - Familiarity with data visualisation libraries (e.g., Recharts, D3, AG Grid). - Experience with Node.js/BFF patterns for backend-for-frontend service layers. - Exposure to LLM-powered UI patterns - chat interfaces, streamed responses, tool-use feedback loops. - Experience with micro-frontend architecture or multi-team frontend platforms. - Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines and cloud deployment.
