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

• 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.
