Frontend Engineer
Engineering · London, United Kingdom
Job description
11:FS is on a mission to change the fabric of financial services. Our Ventures practice builds challenger propositions globally, like we did for Natwest with Mettle. Our Pulse team creates a benchmarking tool used by the likes of Monzo, Starling, Natwest and Tesco Bank. On top of all of that, we’re a media company, our Growth team generate a stream of content that supports our brand and changes the conversation - not necessarily in that order. Our Foundry team is creating a fintech building machine by leveraging our experience and history of building multiple fintech banks and other propositions.
We truly live our values at 11:FS, and they are critical to your entire journey here. ‘Cultural Add’ is as, if not more, important as pure technical fit, and as part of your interview process we’ll deep dive into our values and your beliefs. Everyone at 11:FS fits our 4 core values: Team, Attitude, Communication and Impact, and this remains at the core of our growth.
11:FS Foundry enables businesses to embed finance into their products in weeks, not years. We call it our Financial Services Operating System - we’re building the finance workflows and user journeys so our clients can focus on making game-changing intelligent digital services. Whole financial products can be created with pure configuration, with payment and identity provider integrations ready to go and comprehensive APIs for creating rich user experiences.
About Us
We’re big believers in autonomous teams and iterative development. We’re crazy about continuous improvement and knowledge sharing, and we want people who share our enthusiasm. We strive to always build the right thing and build the thing right, so we place great emphasis on code quality and testability, test driving, continuously integrating and pairing as we go.
We make designing the product everyone’s business - what we are going to do and how we do it are team decisions. And we focus on meeting exactly what the customer needs now, always aiming to build the minimum lovable product. We strongly believe that you grow a system, rather than build it, so our architecture and infrastructure is designed to allow us to roll small bits of code to production really fast. And really often.
We build our platform with tech like:
- React, React Native, TypeScript & Javascript, Next.js, Node, HTML, CSS
- GraphQL based APIs - we use Apollo on the client side
- Cloud deployments - GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Github
- Observability - Sentry
About You
We are looking for skilled Frontend engineers to help build Foundry. You’ll be a key player in our team, building out new products and features of the frontend platform, which includes multiple web and native apps. We choose a strongly typed approach to building our front end applications, so experience with TypeScript is great to have.

- Build, test, deploy and own TypeScript web, Reactive Native, and native applications as part of a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional team.
- Iterating on our existing internal design system, building testable and reusable components to use across our web and native products.
- Fully test your applications using unit, integration and e2e testing.
- Participate in regular showcases of new work to the product owners and other business stakeholders.
- Collaborate with your team via pair programming, code reviews, knowledge sharing and demonstrations.
As a Frontend Engineer you have:
- Experience with some or all of the technologies in our platform or equivalents
- Strong TypeScript and React Native experience
- Background and/or enthusiasm for the ways we work:
- Test Driven Development - we use jest and react-testing-library across our codebase
- Build automation, continuous integration and continuous deployment to production systems
- Agile/iterative development processes
- Shared code ownership & cross-functional teams
- Collaborative design and development
- Pair programming
- It would be a bonus if you have experience with:
