Position Overview

Our client is seeking experienced and driven Front-End Software Engineers and Senior Front-End Software Engineers to join their team. In this hands-on engineering role, you will help modernize legacy application architectures, design scalable micro-frontends, and build high-performing, user-focused web applications for large-scale digital platforms. You will work across modern front-end technologies (Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, NgRx) while collaborating closely with back-end technologies (Node.js, NestJS, Java/Spring Boot) to deliver clean, maintainable, and highly resilient software.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and scale responsive web applications using Angular (Angular 10 to 20 /22), TypeScript, RxJS, and NgRx/Redux.
• Architect and implement micro-frontend patterns, standalone components, feature modules, and shared design component libraries.
• Modernize legacy front-end applications by refactoring outdated modules, eliminating anti-patterns, and adopting modern architectural standards.
• Build and integrate front-end applications with Node.js, NestJS, GraphQL, and Java (Spring Boot) microservices and APIs.
• Design clean API contracts and state integration layers using RxJS pipelines and HTTP interceptors.
• Implement advanced Angular performance techniques (e.g., OnPush change detection, zoneless patterns, lazy loading, and route-level code splitting).
• Drive test-first development and write automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests using tools like Cypress, Playwright, Jest, Storybook, or Jasmine/Karma.
• Enhance CI/CD pipelines with automated linting, test validation, and build processes.
• Support deployment strategies including A/B testing, feature toggles, and blue-green deployments across cloud platforms (e.g., AWS S3, CloudFront, Lambda).
• Utilize Generative AI and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate code creation, testing, and documentation.
• Participate in architecture reviews, troubleshoot complex production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and mentor junior/mid-level engineers (Senior level).

Required Qualifications

• 8 years of software development experience with proven expertise in technical design and front-end architecture.
• Deep expertise in Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, and state management (NgRx, Redux, or Component Store).
• Strong working knowledge of Node.js and/or NestJS for building supporting services or middleware.
• Hands-on experience integrating front-end systems with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and microservices.
• Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, and micro-frontend architecture patterns.
• Demonstrated proficiency with automated test frameworks (Cypress, Playwright, Jest, or Storybook).
• Experience working with CI/CD automation and deployment workflows.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience collaborating with Java (Spring Boot) back-end service layers.
• Familiarity with AWS cloud technologies (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, API Gateway).
• Experience with AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows.
• Domain knowledge in Financial Services or other highly regulated industries.
