A major UK retail bank is seeking a Full Stack React Developer for a remote contract role. You will design and implement a bespoke performance management dashboard used by senior leadership. Strong expertise in React and the ability to create intuitive user interfaces are essential.
We are AMS. We are a global total workforce solutions firm; we enable organisations to thrive in an age of constant change by building, re-shaping, and optimising workforces. Our Contingent Workforce Solutions (CWS) is one of our service offerings; we act as an extension of our clients' recruitment team and provide professional interim and temporary resources.
Our client, a major UK retail bank, provides every day banking services to over 17 million retail customers. The banks expertise and services span across Business Services, Corporate banking, Wealth Management, Group Functions, Retail and Investment Banking.
On behalf of this organisation, AMS are looking for a Full-Stack React Engineer for an initial 6-month contract on a remote first basis (head offices in Edinburgh; very rare attendance may be needed). Work must be completed from within the UK.
Purpose of the Role:
You will work with one of the UK's largest retail banks to deliver a brand new, bespoke performance management dashboard. The current solution, built in Tableau, no longer meets the needs of senior leadership and is being replaced with a more flexible, interactive application.
The new tool will present key business KPIs and allow users to drill down into performance data, playing a crucial role in high-level strategic decision-making. It will be used directly by C-suite stakeholders, so usability, clarity, and responsiveness are key.
This is a hands-on engineering role, primarily focused on frontend development in React, with some backend API work where required.
The team operates on a remote-first basis and fosters a collaborative, delivery-driven environment.
Responsibilities of the role:
Develop and maintain a high-quality frontend interface using React, ensuring excellent performance, responsiveness, and usability
Translate complex business requirements into intuitive, data-driven UI components for C-suite level users
Work closely with designers, product owners, and backend engineers to deliver a seamless user experience
Implement visualisations and drill-down capabilities for performance and KPI dashboards
Contribute to backend API development as needed
Participate in code reviews and knowledge sharing within a collaborative development team
Continuously improve the application through feedback, iteration, and performance tuning
What we require from the candidate:
Proven ability to build clean, responsive, and intuitive user interfaces
Strong communication skills, with the ability to discuss UI/UX decisions clearly
Nice to Have:
Experience building dashboards or data-driven applications (highly desirable).
Familiarity with TypeScript, LESS/SASS, or similar frontend tooling
Previous experience working in retail banking or other regulated environments
Experience delivering solutions for senior stakeholders or executive users
Next steps:
This client will only accept workers operating via an Umbrella or PAYE engagement model.
