Job description

Senior Angular Developer

We are looking for an experienced Senior Angular Frontend Developer to serve as the technical owner and frontend gatekeeper for the MPS2 platform. The application is a large enterprise Angular system (~900+ TypeScript files, 120+ routes) developed by multiple contributors over time. The primary objective is to lead the structural modernization of this codebase: decomposing a monolithic root module into domain-driven lazy-loaded feature modules, establishing reusable UI components, remediating architectural tech debt, enforcing robust quality gates, and standardizing patterns to prepare the application for AI-assisted SDLC workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Refactoring & Modularization: Progressively decompose the oversized root module (AppModule) and routing configuration into clean, domain-driven, lazy-loaded feature modules (e.g., Programme Authoring, Payments, Vehicle Inquiry, Batch Runs). Enforce clear boundaries between Core, Shared, and Feature layers, eliminating boundary leaks (such as direct HttpClient calls in UI components).
• UI/UX Standardization & Reusable Components: Design, build, and maintain a centralized library of reusable UI components and shared layout/form patterns. Standardize UI styling, design tokens, and user flows across disparate screens created by different contributors.
• Reactive Stream & State Management Governance: Overhaul RxJS subscription handling across 150+ components - introducing strict teardown patterns (takeUntilDestroyed, DestroyRef, async pipe) to eliminate memory leaks. Rationalize state management and transition away from scattered, ad-hoc localStorage/sessionStorage dependencies toward predictable reactive services.
• Code Quality, Standards & Gatekeeping: Serve as the frontend gatekeeper by conducting rigorous PR reviews for contributions made by other engineers. Establish and enforce strict linting, TypeScript typing, and naming conventions to clean up multi-author drift and folder anomalies. Activate meaningful unit test baselines (Jasmine/Karma), restoring automated test coverage and CI build/lint validation gates.
• AI-SDLC Enablement: Clean, standardize, and document coding patterns and component templates to allow effective adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools across the team.

Experience

Experience: 5 to 8 years of professional frontend development, with at least 4+ years dedicated to modern Angular (Angular 14+, Angular 17 strongly preferred) and TypeScript.

• Large-Scale Architecture: Demonstrated experience restructuring large monolithic Angular codebases into lazy-loaded feature modules and core/shared libraries.
• RxJS Mastery: Advanced command of RxJS operators, observable lifecycle management, leak prevention, and change detection optimization (ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush).
• Design Systems & Component Design: Hands-on experience building modular, reusable component systems, accessible forms (Reactive Forms), and scalable SCSS structures.
• Quality & Testing: Strong proficiency in writing robust unit tests using Angular TestBed, Jasmine, and Karma, along with configuring ESLint/Stylelint rules.
• Engineering Discipline: Strong PR review etiquette, technical leadership, and clear communication skills to guide and mentor non-frontend-focused developers.
