Front End Web Developer

We are looking for an experienced front-end web developer to join our growing engineering organization (headquartered in Reigate, ~300 engineers) developing a wide range of market leading InsurTech solutions. You will join us at an exciting time as we focus increasingly on cloud/SaaS solutions, upgrading existing products to new technologies and modern UX, as well as developing brand-new applications.

As a front-end web development lead, you will be working across multiple flexible agile squads delivering value on multiple greenfield workstreams in the delivery family. You will play a key role in designing and creating new features and enhancing existing code, whilst ensuring the foundational components continue to meet high levels of reliability, maintainability, usability, and performance.

The Role

• Bring expertise and best practice having worked on professional, production-grade web applications, ideally in a SaaS or cloud-native context.
• Use agentic systems to speed up UI development.
• Work with the Product Manager and/or Product Owner to define, refine, and deliver the product backlog.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of frontend architecture within an NX monorepo, ensuring consistency of approach across the team.

• Collaborate with UX designers working in Figma to iterate on high-quality, accessible GUI implementations from wireframes and design assets.

• Champion and enforce WCAG 2 accessibility standards across all UI deliverables.

• Implement product code following best practices for maintainability, testability, and performance, including unit tests with Vitest and end-to-end tests with Playwright.

• Review and debug code to identify defects, performance bottlenecks, and technical debt within a modern Angular/NestJS stack.

• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives), striving to continuously improve team velocity and engineering practices.

• Address UI governance requirements covering security, accessibility, and performance.

What you’ll bring 

The technology stack is Angular, NestJS (BFF), NX monorepo, tRPC, SCSS, C# and Azure, deployed via Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines.

Candidates must demonstrate:

• Strong proficiency in Angular (v17+), TypeScript, HTML, and SCSS, with hands-on experience in a component-driven, SPA architecture.

• Experience working within an NX monorepo structure, understanding workspace organisation, library boundaries, and build optimisation.
• Actively use AI-assisted development tooling and have contributed to evolving best practices around prompt-driven development workflows.
• Familiarity with NgRx Signal Store or equivalent reactive state management patterns.
• Experience with NestJS or a comparable Node.js BFF layer, and comfort working across a tRPC-based API contract.
• Solid understanding of WCAG 2 accessibility requirements and practical experience implementing them in Angular applications.
• Ability to translate Figma designs into polished, pixel-accurate, responsive UI implementations.
• Experience writing unit tests with Vitest (or Jest) and e2e tests with Playwright.
• Proficiency with Git and GitHub, including branching strategies, pull requests, and code review workflows.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, including authoring and maintaining YAML-based pipeline definitions.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum development in a commercial or production environment.
• Strong appreciation of UX principles and the ability to work collaboratively with a dedicated UX team.

Other highly desirable, but not essential skills are:

• Ability to architect high-performance and scalable web application and supporting infrastructures.

• Ability to coordinate day-to-day development and bug fixing activities.

• Experience in guiding teams in UX strategy, implementations, and reviews.

• Experience using VS Code, Azure DevOps and Git.

• Experience with Azure

• Experience with Cypress and other unit testing tools.

• General knowledge of the Insurance Industry.

• Degree-educated with Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or relevant discipline.
