Senior Frontend Developer (Parsippany)

About Virtual F&I :

We are challenging the traditional car-buying experience. Gone are the days of consumers spending hours at a dealership, navigating unclear pricing and high-pressure sales tactics. The days of F&I managers who miss family dinners and are unable to attend their childrens games on the weekends are a thing of the past with remote F&I. Instead, we have created an innovative SaaS platform that brings the dealership experience to consumers fingertips wherever they may be. At Virtual F&I, we are not just another automotive software vendor. We are a group of passionate individuals with decades of automotive and technology experience who have come together with a singular vision : transform how people buy cars. We invite you to experience a new way of engaging with consumers. A way that respects their time, values transparency, and puts them in the drivers seat of the buying process. At Virtual F&I, we are not just helping dealers sell more cars and F&I products. We are championing a movement to make car buying what it should be : simple, transparent, and enjoyable. Welcome to the future of car buying. Welcome to Virtual F&I.
