Your tasks

Where ambition meets opportunity

FDM is a global technology consultancy that partners with leading organisations to deliver cutting-edge IT solutions. We are currently looking for a skilled Senior Software Engineer to join our client in the financial sector. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape and deliver modern, scalable software solutions in a global, regulated environment.

As a Senior Front-End Engineer, you'll take part in the full software development lifecycle — from story pointing and design through to coding, testing, and deployment. You'll build responsive, modern UIs using React, TypeScript/JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, and CSS/SASS, and collaborate with backend engineers on RESTful APIs, services, and data integration.

You'll write unit and integration tests, using TDD where appropriate, and contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and continuous improvement practices. Using tools like Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, Git, and cloud services, you'll help deliver reliable, scalable solutions that meet business needs.

In addition, you'll lead project execution within your squad — ensuring scope, timelines, and quality standards are met while driving collaboration and technical excellence across teams.

FDM offers a supportive environment and clear development path to help you grow your technical and professional skills.
