You’ll work side-by-side with our product, design, and engineering teams to build polished, scalable, and user-friendly interfaces that make accessing education funding simple and intuitive.

You’ll have the opportunity to contribute on the design side as well. From shaping how our product looks and feels to refining user flows, you’ll have a say in both the design and engineering of our platform.

This role is a great fit for an engineer who wants to grow quickly, have real influence in product and design decisions, and see their work directly impact families across the country.

• Build and maintain responsive, accessible, and performant web features using React + TypeScript.

• Partner with our designer (and contribute design ideas yourself) to deliver beautiful, production-ready experiences.

• Write clean, maintainable CSS (or modern frameworks like Tailwind) to create polished and consistent UI.

• Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate APIs and data into smooth frontend flows.

• Participate in code reviews and share ideas to continuously improve our frontend architecture.

• Help refine our product by giving input on usability, design, and technical feasibility.

About You:

• 3-5 years of professional experience as a frontend engineer.

• Proficiency with React and TypeScript (or another modern framework, with willingness to learn React).

• Solid experience with CSS (and/or frameworks like Tailwind, Styled Components, etc.).

• Strong sense for clean design, accessibility, and polished user experiences.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Excellent communication skills and a team-first mindset.

• Excited to grow, take ownership, and contribute to a mission-driven startup.

Bonus Skills (nice to have):

• A portfolio or examples of past frontend/UI work that demonstrate design and implementation skills.

• Figma, design systems, or UX/UI experience.

• Experience in payments, eCommerce, or marketplaces.

Additional Details:

• This role is a hybrid position out of our NYC office in Tribeca.

• Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

• We believe that everyone at Odyssey should be compensated fairly. We set our salary bands based on compensation data from hundreds of companies at our stage. The salary range for this role is $160,000 - $180,000 depending on experience, interview performance and location.
