About the company
Our client is a fast-growing financial services company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and refine user-facing web applications and the shared component library behind them, working closely with product and operations to turn open-ended problems into shipped interface work. The role suits an engineer who can take an initiative from early scoping through to production with little direction.
What you'll do
- Build and evolve a shared component system and the frontend structure that supports it.
- Work with product and operations colleagues on feature ideas, direction and the user experience.
- Scope new problems, propose solutions and carry projects through to delivery.
- Recommend and introduce improvements to frontend tooling.
- Ship user-facing features that make the product easier to use for everyone involved.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Three to six years of hands-on experience shipping interfaces that end users interact with directly.
- Strong hands-on skill with React, with TypeScript preferred and JavaScript acceptable.
- A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related engineering field.
- Experience at an early-stage or growth-stage startup.
- Clear verbal and written communication with non-technical colleagues.
- Previous frontend engineering at a widely recognised technology company known for strong engineering practice. Experience only at legacy enterprises, agencies or very small startups does not on its own meet this.
Bonus points
- Experience with Storybook or component-driven development.
- Background in fintech or healthtech, such as payments, billing or claims systems.
- Coding bootcamp graduates are welcome, though they are expected to have substantially more work experience.
Benefits
