Frontend Engineer - Angular

The job in short

Build, create and implement the future of engagement capabilities for banks around the world that extend to over 100 million end users.

Meet the job

At Backbase you'll be joining one of our teams of highly skilled front-end developers building components, frameworks, libraries and management consoles. With these tools, you will empower developers and their agile teams to fully utilise the potential of the Backbase Engagement Platform. As a Frontend Engineer you'll be using Angular and TypeScript to create the best web interfaces, administration panels, and omni-channel user experiences.

We love clean, testable, and maintainable code that is cross-browser compatible. You get to be part of a multidisciplinary team that is end-to-end responsible for analysis, design, implementation and delivery of production-ready software. We like to keep work interesting and we encourage our engineers to develop their personal strengths.

Here's what you'll get to do with us:

• Driving growth by building new features and improving existing features in our enterprise SDK for our clients and enhancing the customer lifecycle of their end users;
• Own and build out key frontend components, features and architecture within the Backbase frontend Library;
• (unit) Test, test, test and test to make sure our components are secure, safe and user friendly;
• Flawlessly run CI/CD Pipelines to ensure smooth, automated delivery;
• Collaborate with the frontend guild of 200+ to stay on top of new tech, tools and workshop how to implement them with us;
• Participate in agile and scrum ceremonies while building clean, maintainable, testable and scalable code;
• Work with your mentor and education budget to become a Senior Frontend Engineer and beyond!

How about you

FinTech is one of the trends that is here to stay. This is a great opportunity for you to jump in by developing at the heart of the banking experience. Our R&D Product teams are at the center of a global transformation, creating interfaces that impact the banking experiences for more than 100 million people on a daily basis. We use goal-driven design methodology and collaboration across the Backbase frontend community to drive efficient development practices and ways of working.

If you're up for pushing the boundaries of our domain, enriching user centred services and redefining what it means to be a bank, then this is the job for you! We're building things that haven't been built before, improving features that are not just nice to haves, but needs to have in modern day financial services - all while enjoying a steady work life balance.

Here's what we think you'll need to have to get the job done:

• Hands on technical experience with microservices architecture and REST;
• A strong belief that writing clean, maintainable and scalable code is the best way to work;
• You have strong Angular and Typescript skills (for this role we're also flexible if you've got react/javascript skills but a drive to learn Angular)
• Bonus points for RxJS and knowledge of different design patterns. A background in node and npm, and the Angular CLI would be an advantage.
• You know the ins- and outs- of effective CI/CD processes and how to make an effective branching strategy.
• Understanding of the value of proper documentation, automation and other aspects of a modern software development lifecycle;
• Experience writing libraries used by other developers and understanding of the inherent challenges;
• Expert knowledge, confidence, and efficiency in debugging issues,

The following are nice to have:

• Experience with SASS and HTML,
• In-depth knowledge of broader web application architecture topics, such as:
• HTTP specs (common headers, response statuses, etc...)
• JWT tokens
• Security topics (CORS, XSS, CSP),

Your team knows when to work hard and when to relax with a beer, and is looking forward to doing both with you!

(Currently, we do not relocate candidates to the Netherlands for this role)
