Angular Developer

Our Angular frontend is core to a fintech platform that is taking over from a legacy system, with significant growth ahead. We’re looking for an Angular developer to take ownership of the architecture and technical direction of that codebase: structure, state and data flow, and how it scales and stays maintainable.

You’ll join our existing Angular developer as a close technical partner on the team. You are bringing and developing the engineering depth in Angular, the team supplies you with strong product knowledge. Together you’ll own authority over the platform’s frontend foundations, implementation of functionality, and technical solutions.

AI-assisted development is central to our work, the team is building out internal agentic systems and tools to aid their work. Our engineers use tools such as Claude Code every day to design, write, review and test code, and we expect you to do the same as well as contribute to the team’s tooling for effective collaborations between agents and developers.

Responsibilities

• Own architectural decisions for the Angular codebase: state management, component structure, performance and testing strategy

• Work closely with our existing Angular developer to shape the application’s design and implementation

• Collaborate with our Python/AWS backend team to get API design and data contracts right

• Use AI coding tools as a core part of your workflow, and help set the conventions and guardrails (reviews, tests, context and prompts) that keep AI-assisted code consistent with the architecture

• Keep the codebase maintainable as the platform grows and replaces the legacy system

• Work with business users to understand requirements and turn them into technical ones

• Estimate, plan and deliver your own work, and explain technical decisions clearly to non-technical colleagues

You’re a sharp engineer who cares about how an application is put together, not just what it does on screen. You have opinions and know what you want to see in the codebase, don’t get fooled by confidently wrong AI agents on Angular problems. You’re comfortable making and defending architectural calls, and equally comfortable working as a close peer rather than a sole authority.

Essential

• Competent with modern Angular (v19+, Signals, RxJS-Signals interop), RxJS and TypeScript

• 1-3 years’ commercial frontend development experience with Angular

• Took ownership of architectural decisions (e.g. state management, component structure, testing) on at least one Angular project

• A 2:1 or above (or equivalent) in a scientific or technical subject

• Daily, hands-on use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar) in your development work, with the judgement to review, test and correct what they produce

• Experience with Git, GitHub and an issue tracker (YouTrack, Jira, Azure DevOps or similar)

Nice to have

• Experience with AWS or another cloud platform, or a Python backend framework (FastAPI, Django or similar)

• Experience inheriting or significantly restructuring an existing codebase

• Frontend testing frameworks (Vitest, Jest, Playwright, Cucumber)

• Working with design systems (Figma or equivalent)

• Object-oriented and/or functional programming experience

• Comfortable on Unix-based systems (macOS)

Why Join?

• Immediate influence over a platform’s technical direction, rather than waiting years for that kind of authority.

• Work in a fast-moving, engineering-led business with the agility of a startup.

• Work in an AI-first engineering team, with the latest AI development tools provided.

• Build a platform with significant growth ahead as it takes over from a legacy system.

• Work directly with the backend team and business users, with clear visibility of the impact of your work.

• Learn how a regulated financial services business operates from the inside.
