About the Role
As a Frontend Developer, you’ll work on the frontend of an established recruitment platform, covering the ATS, careers sites and job board used every day by schools, trusts and candidates. This is a live product with real traffic rather than a new build.
A significant part of the platform currently runs on AngularJS and is being migrated to Angular 21. You’ll work across both sides of this transition: maintaining the existing AngularJS application, translating it into the new stack and developing new Angular 21 features.
You’ll also have a real say in the direction of the frontend, contributing to engineering decisions around performance, staged delivery and keeping the live platform stable throughout the migration.
Responsibilities
Maintain and support the existing AngularJS codebase while it remains live.
Translate AngularJS components and features into Angular 21 in stages, without breaking what is in production.
Build new features in Angular 21, using standalone components, signals for state, OnPush and sensible boundaries within the Nx monorepo.
Turn business requirements into technical work, breaking features down, providing estimates and raising problems early rather than at the end of a sprint.
Work in sprints and keep tickets up to date so the team has clear visibility of progress.
Review pull requests and have your own pull requests reviewed.
Keep track of Angular’s direction and identify when new developments are worth adopting.
Requirements
3+ years of overall professional experience.
Strong AngularJS skills, with the confidence to read, maintain and rewrite a live AngularJS codebase.
2+ years of experience building and shipping Angular applications using Angular 20 or above.
Strong TypeScript skills.
Strong knowledge of modern Angular, including standalone components, signals, the new control flow syntax and RxJS where it is the right tool.
Experience with Git and CI/CD pipelines.
Ability to prioritise your own work without being chased.
Clear written and verbal communication skills.
Nice to Have
Previous experience migrating a legacy frontend to a modern framework.
Experience with Nx monorepos, PrimeNG, Angular Material and Vitest.
Experience with C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET MVC, Web API and Entity Framework.
SQL Server experience, with the ability to read and write a good query.
Experience with IIS and Windows Server.
Experience with Bitbucket, JIRA, TeamCity and Octopus Deploy.
