You will join our BFSI practice as a Senior Front-End Engineer on a flagship digital platform for a leading global asset management client. This is a client-facing role where how you work matters as much as what you know. You will take real ownership of the frontend of a large-scale, customer-facing web platform built on React and Next.js, work directly with client stakeholders, and help set the standard for quality, performance and delivery across the team.

Who you are:

• Proactive by nature – you spot problems and opportunities early, raise them, and take ownership of seeing them through without waiting to be asked
• A clear, confident communicator – you can explain technical decisions, trade-offs and risks in plain language to engineers, product owners and senior business stakeholders alike
• Strong at managing stakeholders – you build trust with the client, set and manage expectations, push back constructively when needed, and keep everyone informed on progress and blockers
• Accountable and delivery-focused – you care about getting quality work into production on time
• A team player who lifts others – you share knowledge, review code thoughtfully and support less experienced engineers

What you’ll be doing:

• Build and evolve a large-scale, customer-facing asset-management web platform using React, Next.js (SSR/SSG) and TypeScript
• Take ownership of features end to end – from technical design and estimation through build, testing and release
• Act as a key point of contact for client product owners, designers and content teams, translating business and regulatory requirements into technical solutions
• Contribute to and maintain reusable UI component libraries shared across teams within a monorepo setup
• Drive web performance, Core Web Vitals and technical SEO / structured data improvements
• Work with AWS-hosted infrastructure (S3, CDN caching) and GitLab CI/CD pipelines with Docker
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to accelerate delivery
• Take part in sprint planning and Agile ceremonies, proactively flagging risks and dependencies
• Review code, mentor engineers and promote clean, secure, well-tested code

You’ll have:

• Bachelor’s or higher in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience)
• Minimum 10 years of front-end / web application engineering experience
• Strong commercial experience with React, Next.js, TypeScript and modern JavaScript (ES6+)
• Experience building large-scale web applications and reusable component libraries
• A good understanding of web performance optimisation and Core Web Vitals
• Experience with state management (Redux, Context API) and build tooling (Webpack, Babel)
• Solid testing practice with Jest, React Testing Library and Cypress (or similar)
• Experience with CI/CD (GitLab or similar), Docker and AWS
• A track record of working directly with business or client stakeholders in an Agile environment

Bonus points for:

• Experience with Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
• Experience in financial services, ideally asset management or banking in an FCA-regulated environment
• Technical SEO and Schema.org / structured data implementation
• Monorepo tooling (RushJS, Nx, Turborepo) or micro-frontend architectures
• Practical use of AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code)
• Node.js, GraphQL and REST API integration
• Frontend security practices (RBAC/entitlements, OWASP)
