Frontend Engineer - Handelsbankens nye digitale enhet

About Handelsbanken's new digital unit

Handelsbanken's new digital unit is established as a modern, digital organization, having ambitions to build the best digital-first mobile and web banking applications for the retail banking market. To succeed with this, we need experienced Frontend Engineers to help shape and ship the product and define the culture of the new digital unit.

We have ambitious goals, fast pace, lots of energy and knowledge of what this means in terms of investments and willingness to change. In the digital unit, you will play a crucial role in creating the customer experience, while also shaping a great team culture, product, features, and customer journey. Handelsbanken's new digital unit wants to continuously work for improved gender balance. We want diversity among our employees in terms of gender, nationality, religion etc.

What will your role be as a Frontend Engineer?

As a Frontend Engineer, you will work with a team of designers, product owners, DevOps experts, and fellow Frontend and Backend Engineers on creating an amazing digital experience.

Your day-to-day will consist of implementing stories from the backlog in a modern, agile work environment, taking ownership and pride in writing well-crafted and tested code. You will build a new banking application from scratch, integrating with the existing core banking system.

As we are in a start-up phase, you will also get to think creatively and continuously evolve the development process and ways of working by actively participating in planning and retrospectives.

To thrive in this position, we imagine that you are someone with product acumen, high attention to detail, and quality. You need to be able to collaborate with agile product owners to refine requirements and break these down into tasks, and this takes strong communication and collaboration skills. The unit is still in the early stages, and you need the flexibility to apply start-up methodology and speed in a corporate, regulated environment.

Most importantly, we want someone who is motivated by making a positive impact on a traditional industry together with the rest of your team.

We would love to hear from you if you have (some of) the following qualifications:

• 3+ years experience as a frontend engineer, frontend developer, or equivalent position
• Experience with Typescript and React
• Experience defining interface contracts and integrating with REST APIs
• Experience writing own unit, integration and/or end-to-end tests
• Experience working in an environment employing modern development methodology (automated test coverage, peer code review, etc.)
• Experience in a cross-functional, full-stack setup with end-to-end feature delivery (joint squads combining product, backend, frontend, quality engineering and testing)
• BSc or MSc in a technology-related field or relevant work experience

It would also be great (but not necessary) to have hands-on experience building React Native mobile applications.

We are recruiting for roles of different seniority and character at the moment, so do not hesitate on applying based on missing experience on a bullet point. We will take a look at your background and decide where you could fit in - give it a try!
