Senior Frontend Engineer - Angular

We are looking for a Senior Frontend Developer with deep Angular expertise to join the team powering an e‑banking platform for a BFSI client. You will be a key contributor to the web banking application across all four of Switzerland’s national languages, building secure, performant, and accessible user experiences that meet the rigorous demands of a regulated financial environment.

• Lead the design and evolution of Angular application architecture – module federation, standalone components, lazy loading, and state management patterns
• Own and extend the shared component library and design system built with Angular Material and custom SCSS tokens
• Define coding standards, review guidelines, and architectural decision records (ADRs) for the frontend chapter
• Drive migration and upgrade paths across major Angular versions with minimal disruption to delivery squads
• Evaluate and introduce new Angular features (Signals, Deferrable Views, SSR with Angular Universal) where they bring clear benefit

• Implement complex banking features: payment flows, account overviews, transaction history, document centre, and secure messaging
• Build secure authentication and session management UIs integrating with OAuth2 / OpenID Connect and MFA flows
• Develop and maintain multilingual (DE/FR/IT/EN) interfaces using Angular i18n and ngx‑translate, respecting Swiss linguistic and formatting conventions
• Collaborate with backend teams to design and consume RESTful and Graph
  
  QL APIs with strong typing (OpenAPI codegen, Apollo)
• Ensure pixel‑perfect implementation of UX designs from Figma, maintaining consistency across breakpoints and devices

• Profile and optimise Angular application performance: bundle size, Core Web Vitals, change detection strategy, virtual scrolling
• Write comprehensive unit tests (Jest / Jasmine / Karma) and integration tests; contribute to E2E test suites (Cypress / Playwright)
• Enforce accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) across all components, supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation
• Conduct thorough code reviews and contribute to a culture of quality and continuous improvement

• Apply OWASP Top 10 mitigations in frontend code: XSS prevention, CSP headers, secure cookie handling, and CSRF protection
• Implement Content Security Policies, Subresource Integrity, and other hardening measures required in a banking context
• Support security audits and penetration testing remediation cycles
• Maintain awareness of FINMA digital banking guidelines as they apply to frontend data handling and user consent

• 3+ years of professional frontend development with Angular (v12 or later)
• Strong Type Script skills – you write strict, well‑typed code and understand the Angular compiler
• Expert‑level RxJS knowledge: you design reactive data flows and handle complex async scenarios confidently
• Experience building and maintaining large‑scale, production Angular applications (not just greenfield projects)
• Solid understanding of web security fundamentals relevant to frontend: XSS, CSRF, CSP, secure authentication
• Experience with NgRx or equivalent state management in non‑trivial applications
• Strong sense of UI quality: accessibility, cross‑browser compatibility, responsive design, and performance
• Collaborative mindset with demonstrated experience mentoring or leading frontend engineers

• Experience in financial services, banking, or another security‑sensitive regulated industry
• Familiarity with micro‑frontend architecture (module federation, single‑spa)
• Hands‑on experience with Nx monorepo tooling for multi‑app/multi‑lib work spaces
• Contributions to open‑source Angular projects or internal design systems
• Knowledge of Angular Universal (SSR) or static pre‑rendering for web banking performance
• Experience integrating Angular apps with OAuth2/OIDC providers (Keycloak, Azure AD B2C)
