Your new company
I've been engaged exclusively to recruit a new product team for a global business that specialise in cloud-based technology solutions for financial services customers. They are insistent on working at the sharp edge of technology and will be hiring 20 roles into the team in the coming months. We are currently looking for a Head of Front End Development to drive their architecture and strategy forward, both for their Angular and Native Mobile app teams.

You can be based in their Central Southampton offices (or another UK hub) with hybrid working or can be fully remote in the UK.

Your new role
This is a 70-80% management role driving strategy around Front End. Angular is their framework of choice and the mission statement is to break larger applications into individual journeys (MicroUIs) so you'll help manage this process, working across all projects and Scrum teams. You will have 10+ direct reports and will be involved in appraisals, recruitment and will have direct input into technology choices big scope to influence the architecture.

It's a greenfield environment working for a business that invests over GBP350m into R&D annually. Everything will run through their new Kafka platform in a Kubernetes cluster hosted in the cloud and the team subscribe to the latest coding standards in an Agile environment.

As part of the long-term architecture roadmap the intention is to progress the microservice builds to move to Distributed Ledger Technology on Blockchain (they've already built and run a successful Blockchain which has processed over 250 million transactions) and have been nominated for an award for best use of ML & AI in Finance - so an interest in these technologies will be important.

What you'll need to succeed
We're looking for an existing Head of Front End or Dev Manager that has managed a team of 10 or similar, hungry to push themselves in an global/enterprise microservice-driven software environment.

The product is being built using an Event-Driven approach so you'll get exposure to a range of technologies and will have input into Architectural decisions. Financial services experience is essential.

Currently the team are pushing the latest version of Angular, Material Components with GraphQL, SASS, and use single-spa so that other tools could be used with the right use-case.

You will be responsible for the Mobile Development team as well and will have input into the technology choices for this team, as this is yet to be decided. So it could be Ionic, Flutter, Xamarin etc, but you must have experience in designing/delivering mobile apps in the past.

What you'll get in return
Working here you'll have excellent flexibility and financial rewards. They are flexible on salary and offer a 10% bonus scheme, excellent share options, 6% pension, private healthcare, 4x life and critical illness cover and flexible benefits to opt into specific perks you might want such as dental cover.

There is also an unlimited holiday policy, flexible working hours and an employee-led remote working approach. What's more there has always been a push on social events and team building be it virtual or in person, plus they will fund training courses, exams and conferences which will benefit your career development.
