• With the opportunity to influence and direct the performance of thousands of colleagues across the bank, you can really make your mark in this role

What you'll do

You'll hone your skills to create beautiful web applications in React+Redux+GraphQL and leverage tools like D3.js, working closely with experts across the business to make sure they’re relevant, purposeful and on-brand.

You'll also bring:

• Demonstrable examples of complex frontends that you've either created, or made a significant contribution to its features
• Experience working in an Agile environment, such as Scrum or Kanban, or the ability to work with rapid, iterative processes
