Sr. Front end developer

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-end delivery & engineering excellence
• Deliver front-end features from discovery to production, including implementation, testing, performance tuning, and operational readiness.
• Build high-quality, maintainable UI code using modern Angular patterns, component-driven design, and strong TypeScript discipline.
• AI-accelerated software delivery (must have real experience)
• Use AI coding assistants effectively (e.g., pair-programming, refactors, test generation, documentation) while maintaining strong engineering judgement and code ownership.
• Apply AI tools to increase throughput and quality: faster iteration cycles, better test coverage, improved readability, and reduced defects.
• Contribute to team AI practices: prompt patterns, guardrails, secure usage, and measurable outcomes (e.g., cycle time, defect reduction, PR quality).
• Modern Angular + React capability
• Lead with Angular for core platform development; use React where needed for specific apps/micro-frontends, shared libraries, or incremental migrations.
• Keep current with modern framework patterns (e.g., state management evolution, component composition, build tooling, monorepo practices) and apply them pragmatically.
• Contribute to shared UI libraries/design systems; ensure consistency across multiple applications.
• Architecture contribution & cross-team collaboration
• Partner with architects, platform, and other teams to implement scalable patterns (including micro-frontend approaches where relevant).
• Collaborate effectively across disciplines (backend, DevOps, UX, QA) to ensure smooth integration and release.
• Proactive ownership & ambiguity handling
• Drive clarity: break down ambiguous problems, propose options, and move work forward without waiting for perfect requirements.
• Identify risks early (performance, security, usability, delivery) and propose mitigations.
• Act as a multiplier: contribute to code reviews, mentor others, and lift team standards through example.

Minimum Requirements (Must Have)

• Front-end leadership & delivery
• Significant experience delivering modern front-end applications in enterprise environments, with deep hands-on Angular expertise.
• Strong TypeScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS/Tailwind; excellent component design and maintainability discipline.
• Proven ability to deliver independently: turning goals into shippable increments, managing ambiguity, and driving outcomes.
• Angular (dominant) + React (capable)
• Strong Angular architecture knowledge (routing, DI, RxJS, state patterns, performance practices).
• Working proficiency in React (Hooks, component patterns, state/data fetching approaches), able to contribute confidently in mixed ecosystems.
• AI proficiency with real delivery outcomes
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools in day-to-day engineering to ship production software (examples: accelerating feature development, refactors, test generation, code review support, documentation automation).
• Ability to apply AI responsibly: secure-by-default practices, avoiding sensitive data leakage, validating outputs, and maintaining accountability.
• Quality, reliability & CI/CD
• Experience with automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and performance profiling/observability practices.
• Strong approach to code review, technical documentation, and maintainable standards.
• Communication & stakeholder engagement
• Excellent communication skills: explain technical decisions, trade-offs, and risks clearly to engineers and non-engineers.
• Collaborative mindset: effective across teams and time zones; able to influence without authority.
• Finance / business acumen
• Strong business thinking in financial services contexts: appreciation for correctness, auditability, resiliency, and performance expectations in regulated environments.
• Financial services domain experience (market data, indices, risk, trading workflows, reporting, compliance).
• Cloud exposure (e.g., AWS)
• Familiarity with production constraints in large organisations.
• GraphQL experience (e.g., Apollo Client)
• or strong API integration experience.
• Micro-frontend architecture exposure and/or module federation experience.
• Monorepo experience (e.g., Nx)
• shared library ownership.
• Design systems / component libraries; ability to collaborate tightly with UX using tools such as Figma.
