AddressAbout the role
As a Staff Engineer, you will be responsible for building innovative web applications for our end users, using best-of-breed network technologies, and modern software development practices.
The mission of the web team is to provide the best web experience for customers to help them manage their money and save. To achieve this, we have gone back to first principles when thinking 'how do we write web applications’ and started a web platform using modern and flexible technologies.
Our team is composed of multiple squads. Some are focused on products, aiming at delivering new experiences to our users, for instance in the web banking space or helping users with mortgage applications. Other are focused on the platform itself and help solving common problems to the delivery squads, such as design systems, analytics, deployment automation, authentication…
What will your day look like
- Become an advocate for the Web platform at the scale of the program and beyond. We are keen for the platform to be recognised globally and becomes a reference in the bank.
- Guide engineers, help them improve their skillset and become better developers.
- Work closely with third-party teams, helping to ship shared requirements. This covers very various teams, such as marketing, delivery, or back-end teams, as well as the other web squads.
- Be key in developing your squad roadmap, aligning you squad with the objectives of the business and of the web team.
- Help smoothing differences of technical opinions between the web engineers, discussing the platform evolutions with the whole web team.
- You will work with your squad, understand the business needs, and help to remove any blockers.
- Deliver outstanding functionality as part of your squad. Depending on your squad, it might be UI-focused or more platform-centric.
Engineers in the web team work independently, using their judgement to decide where to spend their effort, either delivering new features or making technical improvements. As such, you are empowered to decide where you should spend your time, delivering value in places which matter.
The web platform uses exciting new technologies, and it is a great exploration playground for all our engineers. It runs in nx, using react and next.js 13, and our own design system. One big focus for the team is continuous deployment, all pull requests are pushed automatically to production after unit testing and end-to-end testing. This enables high-level of code quality and a smooth and stress-free process.
You will be working day to day with a helpful, inclusive team, that comes together to support you and make sure everybody succeeds together. New ideas and perspectives are always valued, and we place a strong premium on acknowledging great work. We all want to help each other to become the best engineers we can be.
What will you bring?
- Previous experience with the below points is important:
- Experience working with JavaScript tooling and build systems (NPM, Babel, TypeScript…)
- Proven experience and interest working with React/Next.js, or similar JavaScript framework.
- Strong understanding of delivery pipelines and agile principles.
- Strong understanding of Software Engineering principles, including secure development and quality.
- Understanding of Docker and Google Cloud Platform.
- A good understanding of WCAG Accessibility 2.0, Level AA or higher.
- Experience with mentoring and guiding engineers.
- Ability to manage various groups of stakeholders.
These are not required. What we are looking for are people who have strong opinions that are weakly held. If there are any areas where you do not have the experience, the team is there to support you and help you develop.
What we want from our engineers is to bring passion, and a drive to continually improve and grow with the team. You will need to bring strong communication skills, as that is at the core of what we do as a growing team. We want to be the best engineering team, and to do that we rely on hiring the best people.
