Front-End Developer (FinTech), Hybrid/Remote, Limassol

About the position

Emerald Zebra is partnering with a well-established FinTech company to find an experienced Front-End Developer who can take ownership of their marketing websites and landing pages. This is a hands-on role for someone who writes clean, production-ready code — not someone who relies on page builders or one-click templates. You can join the company at their Limassol, Cyprus office on a hybrid basis or work on a remote basis if not based in Cyprus. You will build and maintain fast, accessible, secure, and compliant marketing websites and landing pages in a regulated financial services environment. From converting Figma designs into pixel-perfect responsive pages to engineering custom WordPress themes and blocks, this role demands genuine front-end craftsmanship combined with a strong understanding of performance, security, and accessibility. If you take pride in semantic HTML, fluid typography, Core Web Vitals scores, and clean Git history — and you want to do that inside a fast-moving FinTech — we want to hear from you.
