Senior Frontend Developer

We’re looking for an exceptional Contract Front-End Developer to join a high-performing technology team within a leading bank, where your expertise will help shape modern digital experiences at scale. This is a genuinely hands-on engineering role for an experienced Front-End Engineer who can pick up an existing application, understand it quickly and start delivering high-quality solutions with minimal support. You’ll work with React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES9/2018), HTML5, CSS Modules and RESTful APIs, building responsive, high-quality applications using an internally developed JavaScript/React framework. The initial contract comes with the potential for extension, making this an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door and build a longer-term relationship with the team.

You’ll be joining an environment where experienced engineers are trusted to make a difference and are expected to take ownership. You’ll translate wireframes and visual designs into production-quality applications, make sound technical decisions and solve problems programmatically rather than relying on manual or repetitive approaches. You’ll collaborate directly with Business and Technical Stakeholders, lead and participate in Show and Tell sessions, and act as the Front-End Subject Matter Expert, bringing your experience and ideas to the table. You’ll also help raise the bar across the wider Front-End and UI Development community through knowledge sharing, mentoring and championing engineering best practice.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of delivering modern, production-grade web applications in an Agile/Scrum environment. You’ll have strong, practical experience with React, TypeScript and modern JavaScript, including the ability to work confidently with objects, arrays, data transformation, iteration, sorting and other common programming patterns. You should be comfortable taking an unfamiliar problem, breaking it down and developing a clean, maintainable solution independently. Strong experience with responsive UI development, CSS Modules, build tooling, static and dynamic code analysis and CI/CD pipelines such as Azure DevOps is also expected.

You’ll be confident writing and maintaining automated unit tests using tools such as Jest and Vite, with a genuine focus on clean, scalable, testable and maintainable code. We’re particularly interested in engineers who can demonstrate strong problem-solving ability and sound coding fundamentals, rather than simply having experience with the technologies listed on their CV. Experience within banking, financial services or another highly regulated environment would be highly desirable, particularly if you understand the importance of risk, governance, security and compliance when delivering technology at scale.

This is an opportunity for a developer who wants to be more than a pair of hands. You’ll be surrounded by experienced technology professionals, working on meaningful digital solutions where quality, engineering excellence and innovation matter. We need someone who can contribute from day one, work through technical challenges independently, write efficient and reusable code, and confidently take ownership of Front-End development across the application.

If you’re an accomplished Front-End Developer with strong practical experience, excellent JavaScript and React fundamentals, and the ability to take a problem from requirements through to a robust technical solution, we want to hear from you.

If you’re the kind of engineer who sees a challenge and immediately starts thinking about the best way to solve it - not just how to make it work - this could be your next opportunity.
