About the Role
Insight Global is looking for a Senior Front-End Developer to join a leading financial services organization within its Global Asset Management technology team.
This individual will support a major front-end modernization initiative across a portfolio of Angular applications. The team is looking to reduce dependencies on legacy third-party templates, modernize its Angular architecture, and create a reusable internal component library that can be leveraged across multiple applications.
This is a highly hands-on role that combines Angular development, component library/design system engineering, application modernization, and migration planning. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence front-end technology decisions and establish development standards that will be used across 10+ applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Assess existing Metronic usage across Angular applications and identify shared template functionality versus application-specific customization
- Design and develop a reusable, internally owned Angular component library/app shell for common navigation, layouts, and theming
- Create a scalable approach for packaging, versioning, and distributing shared components across multiple applications
- Help define and execute the strategy for reducing direct dependency on Metronic
- Support major Angular version upgrades and migrations
- Evaluate and support UI modernization from Bootstrap toward Tailwind CSS where appropriate
- Replace legacy jQuery and DOM-manipulation patterns with modern, component-driven Angular solutions
- Develop reusable components and establish consistent front-end development standards
- Collaborate with other application teams to coordinate phased migrations with minimal disruption to production applications
- Establish tooling for component documentation, visual regression testing, versioning, and release management
- Partner with design teams to maintain consistent branding, navigation, layouts, light/dark themes, and overall user experience
- Develop migration documentation and provide technical guidance to development teams adopting the new shared library
- Contribute to technical decisions surrounding the organization's broader front-end modernization strategy
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional Angular development experience
- Strong hands-on experience with Angular upgrades and major-version migrations
- Experience building reusable Angular component libraries, shared UI frameworks, or enterprise design systems
- Strong experience with Bootstrap 5
- Practical experience with Tailwind CSS, ideally including UI or CSS framework migrations
- Experience modernizing applications that rely on third-party UI templates or frameworks such as Metronic, AdminLTE, CoreUI, or similar
- Strong understanding of modern Angular architecture, including component-driven and reactive development approaches
- Experience replacing jQuery or legacy DOM-manipulation patterns within Angular applications
- Experience packaging, versioning, and distributing internal libraries using tools such as npm, Azure Artifacts, or GitHub Packages
- Experience with Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- Understanding of phased modernization strategies that allow multiple production applications to migrate without a big-bang rewrite
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work across multiple development and stakeholder groups
Nice to Have
- Direct experience with Metronic
- Previous experience developing an internal design system or shared component library
- Kendo UI for Angular
- Experience migrating from Bootstrap to Tailwind CSS
- Azure AD / MSAL authentication experience
- Experience working within financial services or another regulated enterprise environment
