Front-end Developer

In breve

Capco is a global technology and business consultancy that serves the financial services sector. The Milan office is expanding rapidly, offering a clear path for growth as the firm broadens its consulting team in Italy. As a Front‑end Developer you will join a diverse, inclusive environment that values individuality and encourages you to bring your unique perspective to the work. In this role you will collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver modern, cloud‑based platforms for some of the world's largest banks. Your day‑to‑day tasks will involve writing clean JavaScript or TypeScript code, building responsive user interfaces, and applying best‑in‑class Agile practices. You will handle asynchronous requests, manage state with tools such as Redux, configure build pipelines with Webpack or similar task runners, and ensure robust testing using frameworks like Jest or Mocha. Deployments will be containerised and integrated into CI/CD pipelines, while you also mentor junior developers and troubleshoot application issues. To be considered, candidates must demonstrate strong JavaScript/TypeScript expertise, including modern ECMAScript versions, and be comfortable with at least one major front‑end framework (React, Angular, Vue or Svelte). Proficiency in CSS, including preprocessors (SASS/LESS) and UI libraries (Bootstrap, SemanticUI, MaterialUI), as well as responsive design techniques, is required. You should understand security standards such as OAuth2, OpenID Connect and JWT, and be adept at handling AJAX and partial page updates. Experience with state‑management libraries, task runners, testing frameworks, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD deployment, and cloud design concepts is also essential, along with a proven ability to coach junior team members and debug complex issues. Additional assets include familiarity with a broader range of front‑end frameworks beyond the primary one, deeper knowledge of security protocols (TLS, encryption, networking), and experience with alternative task runners or testing tools. The position is based in Milan's Piazza Gae Aulenti, offering a hybrid work model and easy access to public transport. Capco provides a people‑first benefits package that includes comprehensive health coverage, meal vouchers, a welfare allowance, and access to internal and Tier 1 learning platforms. Compensation starts at a minimum gross annual base of €29,000, with the potential for higher offers and a discretionary bonus.
