Frontend Engineer, Pensions Team – React

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Develop and sustain customer-oriented pension journeys utilizing React and TypeScript.

• Take full ownership of features from the refinement stage through to production, ensuring the web is deployed in tandem with backend development within the same sprint.

• Collaborate with backend engineers and designers to establish API contracts, state management, and error handling procedures.

• Create intricate, multi-step forms for tasks such as account openings, transfers, and declarations.

• Implement unit and component tests, ensuring safe releases behind feature flags.

• Oversee features in production and address issues promptly.

• Navigate a substantial, enduring codebase while adhering to the established frontend architecture documentation.

• Leverage AI coding tools (like Claude Code and Codex) regularly and evaluate their outputs.

• Establish frontend review and testing methodologies within the team.

• Facilitate the onboarding of the next frontend engineer.

• Work collaboratively with Product, Design, QA, Operations, and the broader frontend team.

• Manage the frontend aspects of pension web journeys, which encompass a pension administrator migration, new account opening flows, updates to legal documents, and in-app modifications for existing clients.

⛳️ Requirements

• At least 2 years of commercial experience using React and TypeScript as primary tools within a large, long-standing codebase.

• Practical experience with a state management solution beyond component state (such as Effector, Redux, or similar).

• Proficient in REST API integrations, including handling loading and error states.

• Experience collaborating closely with backend engineers to discuss and refine API contracts, rather than merely consuming them.

• Proven track record in developing intricate or multi-step forms for production environments.

• Involvement in unit or component testing as part of your routine tasks (using Jest, React Testing Library, or similar tools).

• General knowledge of web accessibility principles (including semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and ARIA).

• Experience working within a well-documented frontend architecture.

• Strong sense of ownership: you seek clarification on ambiguous requirements before commencing work and ensure features are delivered to production.

• Effective communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Proficiency in English at B2+ level and fluent in Russian.

• Practical backend experience through commercial or personal projects.

• Familiarity with establishing a Backend for Frontend (BFF) layer.

• Skills in planning frontend architecture and breaking down tasks for fellow engineers.

• Experience with Effector.

• Knowledge of Playwright or other end-to-end testing tools.

• Familiarity with feature flags and error monitoring tools (like GrowthBook, Sentry, or similar).

• Experience with React Native.

• Background in fintech or another regulated sector is advantageous, though not mandatory; we will provide the necessary training.
