🌍 About Outpost

What if going global was as simple as going local?

Outpost is building the AI global trade engine. The accumulated knowledge of every rule you'd need to sell internationally, turned into infrastructure. Tell us what you're selling. We'll tell you how to sell it everywhere.

We operate as Merchant of Record or Tax of Record across 58+ tax jurisdictions. Full liability transfer, or just the tax layer. We do the analysis, we handle the setup, we absorb the liability.

Sell anything, anywhere. Without compromise.

🧠 The Role

This is a Frontend Engineer role for someone who wants to build intuitive interfaces for complex financial operations.

You'll work directly with our engineering leadership to create the user experiences that power international commerce. Merchant dashboards, payment flows, tax compliance tools, transaction monitoring, and AI-powered analysis interfaces. You'll make complexity feel simple.

We believe great design is as much about what you leave out as what you put in. A well-designed interface should feel inevitable, where every element has earned its place and complexity is made manageable through thoughtful design.

This isn't just about building beautiful interfaces. You'll tackle challenges like displaying real-time payment flows, building tax compliance tools, and developing merchant analytics. You'll also explore how emerging technologies can enhance our platform, from AI-powered insights to advanced reporting.

🧗 What You'll Get

Yes, the work is intense. But in return, you'll build the interfaces for critical financial infrastructure handling hundreds of millions in volume.

You'll have significant input into product and technical direction, work with a small team of experienced engineers, and shape how merchants experience global commerce. If you want to go deep on fintech product design and frontend architecture, this is the role.
