About Nikolaus Roman
I work on the PayPal JS SDK, which is a fancy way of saying I spend a lot of time thinking about the PayPal Button. A button that’s rendered over 450 million times per day and moves around $175M in payments daily.I build features for the PayPal Button itself, and I also design the patterns that let teams like Venmo, Buy Now Pay Later, and credit messaging ship their work through the SDK. The work is part frontend engineering, part product decision-making, and part translating complexity into something teams can safely build on.Previously, at JPMorgan, I led development of a React component marketplace used by thousands of engineers by building tooling that standardized how teams documented and shared components, and led teams delivering web apps end-to-end.I’ve always worked at the intersection of product, UX, and engineering. Sometimes that intersection is a full-stack web app. Sometimes it’s just a button.
