Contract Front-End Developer

We’re looking for an exceptional Contract Front-End Developer to join a high-performing technology team within a leading bank, where your expertise will help shape modern digital experiences at scale. This is more than a hands-on coding role — we’re looking for an experienced Front-End Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems, enjoys having technical ownership and wants to make a genuine impact in a fast-moving, highly regulated environment. You’ll work with React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES9/2018), HTML5, CSS Modules and RESTful APIs, building responsive, high-quality applications using an internally developed JavaScript/React framework. The initial contract comes with the potential for extension, making this an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door and build a longer-term relationship with the team.

You’ll be joining an environment where experienced engineers are trusted to make a difference. You’ll take ownership of Front-End solutions, transform wireframes and visual designs into exceptional working applications, and help shape technical decisions across the delivery team. You’ll collaborate directly with Business and Technical Stakeholders, lead and participate in Show and Tell sessions, and act as the Front-End Subject Matter Expert, bringing your experience and ideas to the table. Just as importantly, you’ll help raise the bar across the wider Front-End and UI Development community through knowledge sharing, mentoring and championing engineering best practice.

We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of delivering modern, production-grade web applications in an Agile/Scrum environment. You’ll have strong experience with responsive UI development, React and TypeScript, as well as build tooling, static and dynamic code analysis and CI/CD pipelines such as Azure DevOps. You’ll also be confident writing and maintaining automated unit tests using tools such as Jest and Vite, with a genuine focus on clean, scalable, testable and maintainable code. Experience within banking, financial services or another highly regulated environment would be highly desirable, particularly if you understand the importance of risk, governance, security and compliance when delivering technology at scale.

This is an opportunity for a developer who wants to be more than a pair of hands. You’ll be surrounded by experienced technology professionals, working on meaningful digital solutions where quality, engineering excellence and innovation matter. If you’re an accomplished Front-End Developer who wants to bring your expertise into a major banking environment, take ownership of challenging work and potentially extend beyond the initial contract, we want to hear from you.

If you’re the kind of developer who sees a challenge and immediately starts thinking about how to build it better, this could be your next opportunity.
