About the Role
We are seeking an experienced UX Engineers to join our front-end engineering team within the investment banking and global markets divisions. This role will focus on designing, developing, and evolving large-scale Angular applications that power critical trading, analytics, and AI platforms.
You'll work closely with UI/UX designers, product owners, and back-end engineers to deliver modern, high-performance web applications using the latest versions of Angular, TypeScript, RxJS, and supporting tooling.
We're looking for a developer who combines technical excellence with creativity and curiosity—someone who loves exploring new technologies, challenging assumptions, and driving best practices in an enterprise-scale environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop complex, modular Angular applications using best practices for performance, maintainability, and testability.
- Collaborate with architects to define application structure, state management, and integration patterns.
- Leverage RxJS, Signals, Apollo GraphQL, Angular CDK, and modern build tooling (Nx, Vite, ESBuild) for scalable front-end architectures.
- Partner with UX teams to deliver clean, accessible, and intuitive interfaces for high-volume, data-rich applications.
- Contribute to code reviews, architectural discussions, and technical design sessions.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt modern Angular ecosystem enhancements, including new language features, build optimizations, and design patterns.
- Mentor junior developers and help shape a culture of learning, innovation, and craftsmanship.
- Champion improvements in tooling, CI/CD pipelines, and front-end development standards across the organization.
Required Qualifications
- 4+ years of professional experience developing web applications using Angular (v19+ preferred).
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript, RxJS, HTML5, CSS3 (or Tailwind/SCSS).
- Proven experience in large enterprise or financial systems development.
- Understanding of component-driven design, module boundaries, and state management.
- Familiarity with REST and GraphQL APIs, authentication flows (OAuth2/OIDC), and secure coding practices.
- Experience with unit and integration testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, PlayWright).
- Ability to work collaboratively in agile, cross-functional teams.
Preferred Skills
- Exposure to Nx monorepos, Angular Signals, or hybrid SSR setups (e.g., Angular Universal).
- Experience integrating with Spring Boot, Node.js, or other enterprise APIs.
- Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Bamboo, GitHub Actions) and code-quality tooling (SonarQube, ESLint).
Who You Are
- Curious and adaptable: You love exploring new technologies and continuously improving how things are built.
- Collaborative and influential: You communicate ideas clearly, advocate for better practices, and drive positive change.
- Technically passionate: You enjoy building things right—clean code, elegant architecture, and maintainable design matter to you.
- Impact-driven: You want your work to directly improve how professionals make real-world financial decisions.
