Role:  Front End Developer

Location:  Toronto, Canada  (Remote)

About the role: 

As Front End Developer, you'll be responsible for accurately implementing designs from brief to live environment — working across multiple concurrent products, including custom developments and mobile-responsive applications. You'll ensure all code meets quality standards, best practices, and company regulations, work closely with testers to confirm correct functionality, and take ownership of day-to-day bug fixing. Alongside delivery, you'll stay current with emerging technologies and actively explore how new and existing tools can be pushed further for clients.

What you will be doing: 

  • Accurately implement designs produced by the creative and design team across banners, CRM, email, microsites, and other digital projects.
  • Build and maintain projects within WYNG and PRM platforms, alongside custom developments and mobile-responsive applications.
  • Ensure all code conforms to agreed standards, coding methodologies, and best practices — and that all releases to live environments meet company regulations.
  • Produce quality, reliable code and work collaboratively with testers to confirm correct functionality and behaviour.
  • Own day-to-day bug fixing, resolving issues efficiently and communicating clearly with the wider team.
  • Liaise with the creative team to assess the feasibility of concepts and layouts within programme and technology constraints — contributing to the design process early to prevent downstream issues.
  • Research and maintain current knowledge of new technologies and developments, proactively exploring how they can add value for clients.
  • Work effectively within an Agile environment, contributing to sprint planning, reviews, and iterative delivery

What you need to be great in this role: 

  • Proven proficiency in HTML5 and CSS3 (including SASS) — you write clean, well-structured markup and stylesheet code.
  • Strong JavaScript skills with experience in Angular (TypeScript) or comparable frameworks.
  • Experience hand-coding HTML email, with a solid understanding of cross-client rendering and email best practice.
  • Familiarity with NPM, Git, and task runners such as Gulp or Grunt.
  • Working knowledge of WordPress and/or AEM.
  • Experience working with web services and JSON.
  • Familiarity with third-party ad serving platform implementations.
  • Basic design skills and an appreciation for creative direction — you can interpret and execute a creative vision with accuracy and care.
  • Sharp attention to detail and an analytical approach to problem-solving.
  • The ability to learn and adapt quickly to new languages, platforms, and technologies.
  • Strong time management skills and the ability to prioritise effectively across multiple concurrent workstreams.
  • Clear, confident communication — you can articulate technical constraints and solutions to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
  • Experience in financial services is an advantage, though not essential.
  • Proficiency with Gen AI tools relevant to front-end development — including code generation, debugging support, and documentation assistance — to improve output quality and efficiency.
  • Experience building personal AI workflows to accelerate development tasks without compromising code quality or standards.
  • Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code outputs, applying rigorous human review and technical judgement before implementation.
  • Agentic approach to development challenges: you break down complex, multi-component builds systematically and find clear, efficient paths to delivery.
  • Formal qualifications are welcome but not required. Equivalent experience — gained through work, self-directed learning, open source contribution, or other routes — counts equally.
