Capital Now is looking for a hands-on Frontend Engineer to take full ownership of their web platform in Hyderabad. If you are a React expert who thrives in a high-ownership environment where your code directly impacts the bottom line, this role is built for you.
The Role: Ownership Over Everything
This isn’t your standard corporate gig. Capital Now is currently rebuilding, which means there is no “bench” and no hand-holding. You are the architect and the builder. You will be responsible for the end-to-end revamp of their website using Next.js, meaning you make the architectural calls, not just implement someone else’s design.
You will manage critical customer-facing loan application funnels. We are talking about KYC forms, eligibility flows, and disbursal tracking. Because this is fintech, if a component breaks, it costs the business real money and hurts user trust. You will handle direct API integrations with Node.js backends, including payment gateways like Razorpay, PayU, and Cashfree.
What You Need to Bring
The technical bar is high, and they mean it. You need to be more than a tutorial-follower.
- Deep React & Next.js Expertise: You must explain why you choose SSR, SSG, or ISR for a specific page. If you can’t justify your choices, you won’t survive the interview.
- TypeScript Mastery: Strict mode is the baseline. You should be comfortable typing complex API responses and intricate forms without breaking a sweat.
- Performance Obsession: Core Web Vitals aren’t just buzzwords here. You need to know exactly how to debug a slow page, optimize bundle sizes, and keep the application snappy.
- State Management Strategy: You know the difference between using Context, Redux, Zustand, or React Query, and you can explain why you picked one over the other for a specific problem.
- Production Ownership: You ship it, you monitor it, and when something breaks at 2 AM, you are the one who fixes it.
They are looking for people who have shipped real products, handled production incidents, and understand the nuances of working with PII (Personally Identifiable Information) in a fintech environment.
Why This Role Matters
In the current landscape of IT jobs in India, many roles feel like small cogs in a massive machine. Capital Now offers the opposite. You will be working directly with the backend team and taking responsibility for the user experience of a lending product. Whether you are looking for a shift from traditional IT or a new challenge in the fintech space, this is a role for someone who wants to prove their mettle in a fast-paced environment.
