We at Raise are hiring a
Senior Front End Developer for one of our top clients. After establishing themselves as an industry leader, they’re now expanding their team to meet rising demand. We’re hiring right now; if you’re interested, apply below for your chance to join a great place to work
Responsibilities
- Audit current Metronic usage (_metronic/layout, partials, shared, kt widgets, jQuery-based behaviors) across applications to identify what's template boilerplate vs. app-specific customization.
- Design and build an in-house shared Angular library (e.g., Nx workspace, Angular library/secondary entry points, or npm-packaged component library) encapsulating navigation, theming, and layout shell, publishable/versioned for reuse across multiple apps.
- Define a migration path off direct Metronic dependency while preserving existing UX, or plan/execute a controlled upgrade to newer Metronic releases (which use Tailwind CSS instead of Bootstrap) - evaluating a Bootstrap-to-Tailwind transition where needed.
- Remove or replace legacy jQuery-based template scripting with native Angular component/directive equivalents.
- Establish a strategy for unblocking Angular version upgrades
- Collaborate with teams owning the other affected applications to coordinate a phased, low-disruption rollout of the shared library.
- Set up tooling for component documentation, visual regression testing, and versioning/release of the shared library (e.g., Storybook, semantic-release, private npm/Azure Artifacts feed).
- Partner with design to ensure the extracted theme/layout remains visually consistent and themeable (light/dark, branding) across apps.
- Write migration guides and support application teams adopting the new shared library.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional Angular development experience, including Angular upgrade/migration work (e.g., major version upgrades, Angular Update Guide usage).
- Strong knowledge of Bootstrap 5 and practical experience with Tailwind CSS, potentially including migrating UI styling between CSS frameworks.
- Experience de-risking dependency on third-party admin templates/themes (Metronic, AdminLTE, CoreUI, or similar) in production apps.
- Solid understanding of removing jQuery/legacy DOM-manipulation patterns in favor of idiomatic Angular (component-driven, reactive) approaches.
- Experience versioning and distributing internal packages via a private registry (npm, Azure Artifacts, GitHub Packages).
- Familiarity with Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions CI/CD for publishing and consuming shared packages across multiple repositories.
- Experience with incremental/parallel migration strategies (feature flags, strangler pattern) for rolling changes out across multiple live applications without big-bang rewrites.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience specifically with Metronic (Bootstrap and/or Tailwind editions).
- Experience building internal design systems or component libraries adopted by multiple product teams.
- Experience with Kendo UI Angular components (used alongside the current template).
- Background in enterprise/regulated environments (financial services) with multiple coordinated Angular applications.
- Exposure to Azure AD/MSAL-based authentication flows in Angular apps
