Frontend Engineer

We know that people want great value combined with an excellent experience from a bank they can trust, so we launched our digital bank, Chase UK, to revolutionise mobile banking with seamless journeys that our customers love. We're already trusted by millions in the US and we're quickly catching up in the UK – but how we do things here is a little different. We're building the bank of the future from scratch, channelling our start-up mentality every step of the way – meaning you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact. 

As a Frontend Engineer in Nutmeg, at JPMorgan Chase within the International Consumer Bank, you will be responsible for the web applications that make Nutmeg run. You will deliver product features end-to-end within a cross functional team made up of Engineering and Product. We have a fully aligned Tech stack across the web ecosystem with a collection of team-owned mono-repos - all powered by an internal React Design system which allows us to deliver at scale. You’ll have plenty to learn and will join a friendly and collaborative group of talented engineers who are always willing to discuss/share ideas via various internal or external meetings/guilds/pairing sessions. All of this contributes to our primary focus; to build great user-friendly experiences for our customers.

Our web team is at the heart of this venture, focused on getting smart ideas into the hands of our customers. We're looking for people who have a curious mindset, thrive in collaborative squads, and are passionate about new technology. By their nature, our people are also solution-oriented, commercially savvy and have a head for fintech. We work in tribes and squads that focus on specific products and projects – and depending on your strengths and interests, you'll have the opportunity to move between them. 

While we’re looking for professional skills, culture is just as important to us. We understand that everyone's unique – and that diversity of thought, experience and background is what makes a good team, great. By bringing people with different points of view together, we can represent everyone and truly reflect the communities we serve. This way, there's scope for you to make a huge difference – on us as a company, and on our clients and business partners around the world
