Front-End Developer – React or Angular (Front Office & Risk Systems)
Join MARGO in the UK (London) – Permanent & Contracting Opportunity
MARGO is a tech-native consultancy delivering high value-added IT expertise to the financial services industry.
We operate in complex Front Office and Risk environments where user interfaces are critical components of trading, risk and decision-making systems. Our consultants design and build high-performance, real-time and maintainable UI platforms used daily by Front Office, Risk and technology teams.
Joining MARGO means working on technically demanding UI platforms, close to business users, while benefiting from a human-sized structure, strong engineering standards and tailored career paths.
Business Context
You will work within Front Office and Risk technology environments, contributing to the design and evolution of modern web-based user interfaces.
These platforms typically support:
· real-time trading and monitoring workflows
· risk and P&L visualisation
· analytics and control dashboards
· operational and decision-support tools
The role requires strong ownership of UI architecture, performance and code quality, with close interaction with backend, production and business teams.
Role Overview
We are looking for a Front-End Developer with deep expertise in either React or Angular to work on complex Front Office and Risk UI platforms.
Candidates are expected to be experts in one of the two frameworks.
We are not looking for profiles with superficial exposure to both.
The role is hands-on, engineering-driven and focused on building scalable, real-time and maintainable front-end applications operating under production and performance constraints.

Real-Time & Performance Considerations
· Manage high-frequency UI updates and rendering efficiency
· Optimise performance under real-time constraints
· Control latency perception, responsiveness and user experience
· Work with event-driven and streaming data sources
Collaboration & Integration
· Collaborate with production, infrastructure and QA teams
· Translate business and user needs into robust UI solutions
· Act as a technical reference on front-end topics within the team
Quality & Engineering Standards
· Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions
