What You'll Do (Job Description)

Are you a hands-on Senior Front-end developer with a passion for creating great customer experiences? If so, we’d love to tell you more about the opportunities in our Core Services and Investors teams.

Core Services - In this role, you will work across a number of domains in Core Services. The areas of focus would be: creating a central customer view (WebHub dashboard and customer management functionality), creating centralised components for key areas such as how customers interact with payments, how customers create accounts and user authentication. You will own several core front-end components and work closely with each of the product teams across the business.

Investors - In this role you will be leading a team of middle-weight front-end developers within the Investors Tribe. The areas of focus would be everything from how customers browse for products, account onboarding, fund their investment, manage their investment on an ongoing basis including dashboard reporting, and how to sell their investments in both web and mobile. You will work closely with designers, analysts, copywriters and back end developers who all sit within the tribe as well as share best practice with other front end teams across Zopa.

Our Tech: We currently use or are looking to use the following technologies in our stack: React, Webpack, Sass, Styled-Components in our front-end stack. We are also investing in React Native in our mobile team.

As a rapidly expanding company in the heart of London – we are looking for a passionate developer who wants to expand their skill set and deliver products that delight users.

What You Need to Be Successful (Skills)

Must Have

Solid understanding of JavaScript is important and experience working with another front-end JS framework such as Angular, Vue or Ember. You should be able to understand the mental model of component-based frameworks or libraries
Knowledge of React is beneficial
You should understand the importance of testing your code and how it reduces risk in making changes and refactoring
You should be pragmatic and realise when a solution is over-engineered as well as knowing when to spend time on creating the right abstraction that allows us to move faster in the long run
Comfort with the JS tooling landscape is beneficial – being able to use modern tools such as Webpack and Babel is beneficial although having a solid understanding of how tooling can work and being quick on the uptake is key
Good understanding of at least one of the following: CSS, SCSS, SASS or Styled-Components
Solid understanding of version control tools (ideally Git)
Passion for your work and striving to do things “the right way” (semantics, validity, flexibility, maintainability, …)
An interest in innovation and fin-tech

About Our company

Hello there. We’re Zopa the Feel Good Money company.

In 2005 we built the first ever peer-to-peer lending company to give people access to simpler, better-value loans and investments. Since then we’ve helped hundreds of thousands of customers take the stress out of money by building our business on honesty, transparency and trust.

It works so well that we want to give our customers access to other great products and tools, empowering them to better manage their money. That’s why, in December 2018, we launched a different type of bank, allowing us to bring a greater range of smart finance products to even more people.
