Junior Software Engineer

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing financial services company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and refine customer-facing web pages and marketing site features, working alongside a marketing team to test changes and improve conversion. The role starts frontend-focused with a path toward broader full-stack ownership.

What you'll do

• Build and launch responsive pages and visual updates for a company website using React-based tooling and utility-first styling.
• Maintain and extend the content management data model so marketing can publish changes with less engineering involvement.
• Partner with marketing on site experiments, split tests and improvements to the conversion path.
• Improve loading speed and core page performance across mobile and desktop devices.
• Expand gradually into full-stack work and ownership of larger parts of the site.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• Prior hands-on experience taking front-end screens or product features from development to release in a public-facing web product.
• Working knowledge of modern React and core web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Ability to build responsive, precise layouts that work well across many screen sizes, with mobile traffic being the majority.
• High ownership and curiosity, with comfort driving problems to completion independently.
• Interest in growing from frontend work into full-stack engineering rather than a design-focused career.
• Able to travel up to four times a year for company and team gatherings.

Bonus points

• Evidence of self-directed initiative through independent projects or public code work.
• Experience at a fintech, health technology or e-commerce company.
• Degree from a strong computer science or technical program.
• Experience with a utility-first CSS framework, a headless content management system or a modern hosting platform.
