Descrizione del lavoro

Role purpose You'll build the user interfaces for a multi-year programme modernizing a large portfolio of middle-office applications and moving them to AWS. This is a hands-on senior development role. You'll build data-heavy, real-time ReactJS/TypeScript applications that replace legacy desktop and web UIs. You'll own front-end integration with back-end services over REST APIs, WebSockets and Server-Sent Events (SSE). You'll also set front-end standards and tooling for the team, and use AI coding tools as part of your everyday work.

Key responsibilities

Front-end development

• Design and build complex ReactJS/TypeScript applications for trade processing, reconciliation, settlement and operations monitoring users.
• Build high-performance, data-heavy UIs: large grids (e.g. AG Grid), virtualised lists, filtering, dashboards and live status views.
• Design reusable component libraries, state management (e.g. Redux Toolkit, Zustand, React Query) and accessible, consistent UI patterns.
• Write clean, modern JavaScript (ES6+) and strongly typed TypeScript, and keep API contracts type-safe.
• You will have decent experience of understanding and changing Java backend code

Real-time and API integration

• Integrate with server-side services over REST APIs, including authentication, pagination, caching, retries and error handling.
• Build robust WebSocket clients (native WebSocket, STOMP or Socket.IO) for two-way, low-latency updates. Handle reconnects, heartbeats, back-pressure, message ordering and subscription management.
• Implement SSE streams for one-way server push (e.g. job status, cycle progress, alerts), including reconnection and event replay.
• Choose the right pattern (REST, WebSocket or SSE) for each use case, working with back-end engineers on message design and contracts.
• Make real-time screens perform well under heavy update volumes: batched rendering, memoisation and throttling.

Build tooling and quality

• Set up and maintain front-end builds with npm/pnpm and Vite, including workspaces/monorepos, dependency management, environment configuration and bundle optimisation.
• Work with DevOps on CI/CD pipelines (Harness/GitHub Actions) for front-end build, test and deployment.
• Write unit, component and end-to-end tests (Vitest/Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright or Cypress), and use mock servers for REST, WebSocket and SSE testing.
• Handle front-end security: SSO/MFA integration, token handling, XSS/CSRF protection and dependency vulnerability scanning.

AI-assisted development

• Use GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and/or Devin to speed up component building, refactoring, test generation and legacy UI analysis.
• Review all AI-generated code for correctness, accessibility, performance and security before merging.

Leadership

• Set front-end standards, review code and mentor other developers.
• Work with business analysts and users to turn legacy screens and workflows into modern, usable interfaces.
• Support releases, cutovers and early-life support.

Required Experience And Skills

• 8+ years in software development, with 5+ years building production ReactJS applications.
• ReactJS: expert in hooks, context, component design, performance tuning and state management.
• TypeScript/JavaScript: strong in TypeScript (generics, typing API contracts) and modern JavaScript, including async patterns.
• Build tooling: practical experience with npm, pnpm and Vite (including migrating from Webpack or similar).
• WebSockets: strong experience building and supporting production WebSocket integrations, including reconnection and state recovery.
• SSE: practical experience using Server-Sent Events/EventSource for streaming updates.
• REST APIs: strong experience consuming and designing contracts with server-side services (OpenAPI/Swagger).
• Decent Java knowledge
• Testing: Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library and an end-to-end framework.
• Git, CI/CD and agile delivery.
• Regular use of AI coding assistants in professional delivery.

Preferred

• Working knowledge of Java/Spring Boot back ends (e.g. Spring WebSocket/STOMP, SSE endpoints), to work well with back-end teams.
• Experience with Kafka-backed real-time UIs or streaming gateways.
• Experience replacing legacy UIs (GWT, PowerBuilder, desktop/Citrix applications).
• Experience in financial services, ideally trading, settlement or operations monitoring.
• Familiarity with AWS front-end hosting (S3/CloudFront, API Gateway WebSockets).

Success measures (first 12 months)

• Delivered production front ends for modernized applications, on schedule.
• Real-time features are stable under production load, with reliable reconnection and no data loss for users.
• Shared component library and front-end standards adopted across the team.
• Faster, smaller builds and good test coverage, measured against a baseline.
• Measurable productivity gains from AI tools, with no drop in quality.
