Frontend Developer

Key responsibilities

Build and evolve Angular (v15+) applications using TypeScript, following strong engineering and UX practices.

Design and implement reactive UIs using RxJS and an agreed state management approach (e.g., NgRx, ComponentStore, Signals-based patterns where appropriate).

Own application structure and technical design: modules/components, shared libraries, dependency management, and performance optimisation.

Implement and maintain routing, including route guards, and HTTP interceptors for cross-cutting concerns (auth headers, error handling, telemetry, etc.).

Produce high-quality automated tests (unit/integration) and maintain healthy test coverage and quality gates.

Collaborate with APIs and back-end teams to integrate services and define contracts (OpenAPI where applicable).

Contribute to CI/CD ways of working: branching strategies, code reviews, static analysis, and release practices.

Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and drive preventative improvements.

Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on front-end engineering practices.

Required technical skills (core)

Strong commercial experience as a TypeScript developer.

Proven hands-on experience with Angular v15+ (components, modules, DI, change detection, forms).

Solid knowledge of reactive programming (RxJS) and state management approaches.

Experience implementing Angular Routing, Guards, and Interceptors.

Strong experience with testing frameworks in Angular/JavaScript (e.g., Jasmine/Jest, Karma, Testing Library) and best practices for testable design.

Ability to design/architect independently: make sensible trade-offs, document decisions, and drive implementation.

Proficient with Git (branching, PR workflows, resolving conflicts).

Beneficial (nice-to-have) skills

OpenAPI v3 modelling and working contract-first with API definitions.

Java 8+ development exposure (helpful for full-stack collaboration and troubleshooting).

BDD with Cucumber (JVM) and writing executable specifications.

UI test automation using Selenium (Java).

CI/build automation with Jenkins.

Automated deployment using Ansible.

Non-technical skills / behaviors

Clear communicator who can explain technical choices to both engineers and non-engineers.

Strong ownership mindset: proactive in identifying risks, improving quality, and unblocking delivery.

Collaborative team player who values inclusive working and constructive feedback.

Comfortable working in agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban) with continuous improvement.
