Fullstack UI Developer

The Digital Software Engineer Intm Analyst is a seasoned professional role. This individual will apply in-depth disciplinary knowledge of modern web technologies to contribute to the development of new user-facing features, the optimization of frontend architectures, and the improvement of development workflows.

The ideal candidate is a highly skilled, full-stack-capable UI Developer with deep expertise in Angular, React, and Node.js. You will integrate subject matter and industry expertise to design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and accessible digital applications. This role requires an in-depth understanding of how frontend applications integrate with backend microservices, as well as how engineering teams coordinate to achieve overall business objectives.

You will evaluate moderately complex and variable technical challenges, weigh architectural alternatives, and balance performance, security, and usability requirements. Strong analytical, communication, and diplomacy skills are required to collaborate with cross-functional teams, mentor junior developers, and influence technical decisions.

  • Performance Optimization

• Problem Solving: Act as a key resource for analyzing, troubleshooting, and resolving complex coding, application performance, and design challenges across the frontend and Node.js BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) layers.
• Root Cause Analysis: Conduct deep-dive research into the root causes of development bottlenecks, rendering issues, memory leaks, and API latency, and drive the resolution of defects.
• System Dependencies: Maintain a comprehensive understanding of runtime properties, build dependencies, and environmental configurations (e.g., Webpack/Vite configurations, Node.js runtime, containerization, and upstream/downstream API integrations).
• Technical Leadership &
  • Collaboration

• Design Leadership: Participate in and lead technical design discussions, playing a key role in driving architectural decisions based on your deep knowledge of the codebase, industry trends, and team capabilities.
• Vendor &
  • Partner Integration: Partner with industry vendors and internal UX design teams to implement digital design systems, evaluate third-party components, and align implementation roadmaps to increase development velocity.

• SDLC Lifecycle: Participate in the full Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), identifying dependencies between Agile and Waterfall delivery models, executing comprehensive test plans, and ensuring rigorous software quality standards.
• Knowledge Sharing: Proactively share knowledge with the team through engineering forums, brown bags, and technical documentation, demonstrating a commitment to continuous learning and industry certifications.
• Risk, Compliance &
  • Governance

• Risk Assessment: Appropriately assess risk when technical and business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding assets by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
• Secure Coding: Adhere to secure coding practices (e.g., OWASP Top 10, prevention of XSS, CSRF, and SQL injection) and ensure robust authentication/authorization flows (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT) are implemented across UI and Node.js layers.
• Process Optimization: Continuously assess development processes, test automation, and deployment pipelines to streamline or eliminate redundant processes across the build, delivery, and production environments.
