About the Role

We’re looking for a Full Stack Developer (UI Specialization) to join our team on a transformative cloud modernization program. This is a rare opportunity to work on a mission-critical initiative that is reshaping how mortgage applications are processed, underwritten, and delivered across the bank.

You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team rewriting a monolithic application into a cloud-first, event-driven, microapp architecture. If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy working with world class software architects and have a passion for building cutting edge web applications, this role is for you.

Is this role right for you? In this role you will:

Develop and maintain robust, reusable components using Java (SpringBoot), React and TypeScript.

Build robust, reusable UI components and integrate them with backend services and APIs.

Implement responsive and accessible designs using CSS/SCSS and modern layout techniques.

Develop and maintain observability features including monitoring, alerting, and analytics to ensure system health and performance.

Integrate test automation across the stack using frameworks for unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

Optimize applications for performance, scalability, and reliability in a distributed cloud environment.

Collaborate with architects, product owners, and cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and deliver high-quality features.

Participate in agile ceremonies, code reviews, and continuous integration/continuous delivery workflows.

Apply accessibility standards to ensure inclusive digital experiences.

Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across UI and backend layers.

Stay current with full-stack development trends, advocate for best practices, and contribute to a culture of learning and innovation.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We’d love to work with you if you have:

Java (Spring Boot) – 5+ years of experience building scalable backend services and APIs.

React & TypeScript – 5+ years of hands-on experience developing dynamic, component-based web applications.

CSS/SCSS – Deep understanding of responsive design and advanced styling techniques.

Strong knowledge of HTML5, JavaScript (ES6+), and modern front-end tooling (Webpack, Babel).

Practical understanding of design patterns, SOLID principles, and clean code practices.

Experience with RESTful APIs and integrating front-end with backend services.

Familiarity with observability tools (Dynatrace preferred) and implementing monitoring and alerting solutions.

Experience with test automation frameworks (e.g., JUnit, Jest, Cypress, React Testing Library).

Proficiency with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development workflows.

Extensive knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.

A proactive mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and a passion for clean, maintainable code.

Comfortable working in an Agile environment and familiar with Agile development practices.

Must be a self-starter, fast learner with a positive attitude and team player.
