Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Frontend Engineer to design, build, and maintain large-scale digital banking applications serving small and mid-sized business clients. This role focuses on delivering and evolving Angular- and React-based web applications within a regulated financial environment. You will collaborate closely with product, backend, QA, security, and operations teams and take ownership from feature development through production support.

The ideal candidate is an experienced frontend engineer who thrives in complex, long-lived enterprise codebases, understands digital banking and payments workflows, and consistently delivers secure, scalable, and maintainable solutions.

Role Summary

A senior, Angular-centric frontend engineer responsible for building and maintaining secure, enterprise-scale digital banking applications, with strong ownership across delivery, quality, and production support.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Angular-based single-page applications supporting core digital banking capabilities.
• Build reusable, maintainable UI components using TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3.
• Incrementally modernize existing frontend architectures while preserving backward compatibility and production stability.
• Implement entitlement- and role-driven UI behavior, including conditional rendering, feature gating, and graceful handling of unauthorized or partially authorized user scenarios.
• Integrate frontend applications with RESTful APIs using JSON-based contracts.
• Collaborate closely with backend teams to ensure API contracts, error handling, and data models support resilient and secure frontend experiences.
• Utilize Node.js for frontend-adjacent or backend-for-frontend use cases, as needed.
• Write and maintain unit tests using Jasmine, Karma, or equivalent frameworks.
• Participate in defect triage, performance tuning, and production issue resolution.
• Support release activities, including build generation, validation, and coordination with QA.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and collaborate with product, UX, QA, and platform teams.
• Conduct peer code reviews and mentor junior engineers.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of frontend development experience in enterprise environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with Angular (AngularJS through Angular 10+).
• Advanced proficiency in TypeScript and JavaScript.
• Solid experience with HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and Flexbox.
• Working knowledge of Node.js, npm, and nvm for frontend-adjacent development.
• Experience integrating with RESTful APIs and working from API specifications.
• Experience with modular or micro-frontend-style architectures, including shared UI toolkits and independently deployed feature modules.
• Familiarity with modern build tools such as Webpack, Gulp, Grunt, Vite, Rollup, or Parcel.
• Experience with frontend unit testing frameworks such as Jasmine or Karma.
• Proficiency with Git and Agile development methodologies.
• Experience working in financial services, digital banking, payments, or other regulated industries.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with payments, transfers, bill pay, or entitlement-driven user flows.
• Exposure to hybrid or web-based mobile solutions.
• Experience generating or supporting mobile builds.
• Experience mentoring engineers or serving in a technical leadership capacity.

What Success Looks Like

• Ability to confidently work within existing Angular and React codebases and improve them without disrupting production stability.
• Strong understanding of frontend security considerations in regulated environments, including content security policies (CSP), authentication flows, entitlement-driven UI behavior, and secure handling of client data.
• End-to-end ownership of features from requirements through production support.
• A consistent balance of delivery speed, code quality, maintainability, and operational excellence.
