## Description

We are looking for a mid-to-senior Frontend / UI Developer to join the Risk Navigator technology team and help lead the UI development for our Risk modernization journey.

As a Front End / UI Engineer, Associate, you will:

- Lead and contribute to the development of modern, responsive, and maintainable user interfaces using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, HTML, CSS, and related frontend technologies.

- Take a leading role in shaping the UI for Risk modernization, including frontend architecture, component design, usability, performance, accessibility, and consistency across the application.

- Work closely with business analysts, product stakeholders, developers, testers, and architects to translate complex Investment Risk workflows and requirements into intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly solutions.

- Collaborate with backend developers and contribute where appropriate to Java and Spring-based services, including API design, integration, data exchange, troubleshooting, and end-to-end solution validation.

- Create reusable UI components, patterns, and development practices that improve delivery speed, quality, maintainability, and the overall user experience.

- Support the full delivery lifecycle, including refinement, design discussions, implementation, peer reviews, testing, release preparation, deployment support, and post-release improvements.

- Act as a collaborative technical owner for the UI area by sharing knowledge, guiding development choices, supporting colleagues, improving engineering standards, and contributing to a culture of learning, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with strong hands-on experience in modern frontend development using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, HTML, CSS, and related tooling.

- Strong understanding of React application architecture, component design, state management, routing, testing approaches, performance optimization, and maintainable frontend code structures.

- Good design sense and the ability to create clean, intuitive, and user-friendly interfaces for complex business applications; experience working with design systems or reusable UI patterns is a plus.

- Backend development experience with Java and Spring or Spring Boot, including REST APIs, service integration, data exchange, debugging, and collaboration on end-to-end technical solutions will be a plus.

- Experience integrating frontend applications with backend services, APIs, authentication flows, data models, and asynchronous processing patterns.

- Practical experience with development tools and engineering practices such as Git, CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, automated testing, agile delivery, and secure software development.

- Ability to understand complex business domains, ask good questions, and work closely with analysts and users to create practical technology solutions.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the willingness to work closely with colleagues across locations and contribute actively to shared designs, decisions, and delivery outcomes.

- High level of ownership, curiosity, quality mindset, and willingness to take responsibility for improving the UI, engineering standards, and the way the team works together.

- Experience guiding other developers, reviewing frontend designs, introducing reusable patterns, or taking technical leadership for a UI workstream is a strong advantage.

- Fluent in English, both written and spoken; German is a plus.

- Proven ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, optimise workflows to solve business problems, while applying critical judgment to ensure responsible and ethical use of data and AI outputs.
