Job description

We are looking for a Senior Angular Developer to join a banking Rewards portfolio and contribute to the delivery of customer-facing digital solutions within a large-scale banking environment.

The successful candidate will work across a portfolio of initiatives, helping to build new solutions, enhance existing applications, and support delivery teams in achieving key business outcomes. While Angular development is the primary focus, the environment rewards individuals who are curious, proactive and willing to investigate problems beyond the immediate scope of front‑end development.

This role suits an experienced developer who enjoys working independently, solving complex problems and contributing to delivery outcomes rather than simply completing assigned tasks.

You will work in a technology environment that includes modern Angular development, Java‑based backend services, RESTful API integrations, Jira and Confluence, Agile and hybrid delivery practices, and enterprise‑scale digital banking platforms.

2. Responsibilities / What Success Looks Like

Core responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain modern Angular applications.
• Deliver high‑quality, scalable and maintainable front‑end solutions.
• Contribute to greenfield development as well as existing platform enhancements.
• Participate in technical design discussions and solution reviews.
• Investigate, diagnose and resolve application defects and production issues.
• Collaborate with Business Analysts, Quality Engineers and back‑end teams.
• Contribute to code reviews and development best practices.
• Support delivery across multiple initiatives within the banking Rewards portfolio when required.
• Escalate technical risks, dependencies and blockers appropriately.
• Contribute to continuous improvement across the engineering environment.

What success could look like in the first 90 days

• Develop a strong understanding of the banking Rewards platform, delivery teams and business priorities.
• Become productive within the team’s Angular codebase and delivery practices.
• Successfully deliver assigned features, enhancements and defect resolutions.
• Contribute to new platform capabilities and customer‑facing functionality.
• Identify and raise technical risks, blockers and improvement opportunities early.
• Build effective working relationships with developers, testers, analysts and business stakeholders.
• Work across projects and contribute wherever delivery capacity is required.

How you will need to operate

• Own delivery outcomes, not only assigned tasks.
• Work independently while collaborating closely with the wider team.
• Investigate problems thoroughly and seek solutions proactively.
• Escalate blockers, risks and technical concerns early.
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities across multiple initiatives.
• Communicate clearly with technical and business stakeholders.
• Look for ways to improve solution quality and team effectiveness.

RequirementsEssential

• Strong commercial Angular experience.
• Proven delivery of production‑ready front‑end solutions.
• Experience building applications and features from the ground up.

• Advantageous Banking or financial services experience.

• Exposure to Java‑based backend environments.
• Understanding of API integrations and distributed systems.
• DevOps exposure (deployment, troubleshooting or release support).
• Experience on platform modernization or greenfield initiatives.
• Exposure to cloud‑based environments.
• Direct banking or Rewards experience is useful.
• Strong Angular capability, problem‑solving and evidence of delivering high‑quality software in a complex environment matter more.

What will distinguish a strong candidate

• Deep practical Angular experience, not just framework exposure.
• Delivery of greenfield or large‑scale customer‑facing applications.
• Clear explanation of technical decisions and trade‑offs.
• Ownership mindset and accountability for outcomes.
• Experience in complex enterprise environments.
• Problem‑solving beyond the immediate area of responsibility.
