Job description

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy with extensive experience implementing intelligent enterprise systems across multiple industries, with particular depth in financial services and banking.

Our team combines deep expertise in data science, statistical modeling, AI/ML technologies, workflow automation, and systems integration with a practical understanding of complex business operations.

Role Overview

As a UI Engineer, you will focus on building responsive, accessible, and performant web interfaces for internal banking platforms and customer-facing products. While your core passion lies in crafting flawless user experiences, you will also contribute to backend services in Node.js and Python. Operating at the intersection of design and data engineering, you will work closely with UX designers, backend engineers, and product owners to deliver end‑to‑end features.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain reusable React JS component libraries for consistency and scalability across applications.
• Translate Figma/XD designs into responsive, pixel‑perfect UIs using Flexbox, CSS Grid, and mobile‑first principles.
• Build complex, data‑heavy dashboards featuring charts, tables, and real‑time widgets.
• Manage complex application state using Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or Context API, and optimize frontend performance through lazy loading, memoization, code splitting, and bundle size management.
• Ensure robust cross‑browser compatibility and strict adherence to WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.
• Write comprehensive unit tests utilizing Jest and React Testing Library.
• Integrate REST APIs, handling loading, error, and empty states gracefully.
• Build and maintain backend RESTful APIs using Node.js (Express / NestJS).
• Develop Python‑based backend services or data pipelines using FastAPI or Flask.
• Collaborate directly with AI/ML squads to seamlessly integrate model outputs into frontend interfaces.
• Participate in design reviews and contribute to UI/UX and architectural decisions.
• Maintain clean, documented code and support a rigorous development culture through structured Git branching and thorough Pull Request workflows.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands‑on experience building and deploying React JS applications in production environments.
• Proven track record of working collaboratively within Agile/Scrum delivery teams alongside UX designers and backend engineers.
• Experience building analytical dashboards or interfaces that display complex, real‑time data structures.
• Deep mastery of React JS (functional components, hooks, optimization, advanced patterns).
• High proficiency in Tailwind CSS, Material UI, or shadcn/ui, paired with expert command of HTML5, CSS3, semantic markup, and accessibility standards.
• Advanced ability to design state‑management architectures (Redux Toolkit/Zustand) and handle complex asynchronous REST API integrations.
• Strong development capabilities in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript to ensure scalable, self‑documenting codebases.
• Solid capability to design and develop REST APIs using Node.js (Express/NestJS) and Python (FastAPI/Flask).
• Basic schema design and querying within PostgreSQL or MongoDB, and understanding of secure JWT and OAuth 2.0 authentication patterns.
• Experience with Next.js (SSR, SSG, ISR) or micro‑frontend architectures (Module Federation) is a plus.
• Deep domain knowledge within banking or fintech environments, particularly on internal platforms or trading/analytical dashboards.
• Experience with advanced data visualization libraries such as D3, Chart.js, or Recharts.
• Experience with Python data pipelines, LLM API integration (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI), or exposure to LangChain and RAG pipelines.
• Familiarity with WebSockets for real‑time UI updates, or cross‑platform mobile experience via React Native.
• Basic operational familiarity with AWS/Azure, Docker, and CI/CD automation pipelines.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Comprehensive personal health insurance
• Visa sponsorship for the successful individual
• Professional development and certification support
• Subscription reimbursement related to your role
• Opportunity to work on cutting‑edge AI projects
• Monthly employee incentive program
• Career advancement opportunities in a rapidly growing AI company
