At CheQ, we’re turning the chaos of credit into a journey that’s clear, rewarding, and even a little

fun. With ₹80,000 Cr+ in lifetime payments, a growing tribe of users (30%+ using more than two

products), and $16M raised from marquee investors, we’re fast becoming India’s favorite way to go

from credit-stressed to credit-smart.

Founded by ex-Flipkart leader Aditya Soni and backed by 3one4 Capital, Venture Highway, Ram

Shriram, Lloyd Mathias and more, CheQ isn’t just another fintech, it’s a full-stack credit experience.

What you’ll be doing

We are much more than our job descriptions, but here is where you will begin:

• Lead a small team of frontend engineers building CheQ's web experience, from our

credit dashboard and onboarding flows to AI-driven personalisation surfaces, while

staying hands-on in the codebase (around 50–60% of your time)

• Own the technical design of key features: break down requirements, write design

docs, and set the implementation approach for the team.

Role: Techlead - Frontend

Location: Bengaluru

• Write production-quality React and TypeScript code, and set the standard for

component quality, test coverage and code reviews.

• Drive improvements across our design system, performance (Core Web Vitals, laz

loading, code splitting) and mobile-first web infrastructure, working closely with the

Engineering Manager and senior engineers.

• Own frontend security in your area: apply Content Security Policies, guard against

XSS, CSRF and clickjacking, and keep third-party dependencies safe.

• Partner with product managers, designers and backend engineers to scope work,

estimate timelines and flag technical risks early.

• Mentor engineers through pairing, code reviews and design discussions, and help

interview frontend candidates as the team grows.
