Description
Responsibilities:
1) 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.
2) 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).
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) 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.
Requirements:
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.
Preferred, but not required:
- GraphQL experience (e.g., Apollo Client) and/or strong API integration experience. [
- Micro-frontend architecture exposure and/or module federation experience.
- Monorepo experience (e.g., Nx) and shared library ownership.
- Design systems / component libraries; ability to collaborate tightly with UX using tools such as Figma.
- Cloud exposure (e.g., AWS) and familiarity with production constraints in large organisations.
- Financial services domain experience (market data, indices, risk, trading workflows, reporting, compliance)
