MORE ABOUT THIS JOB:

Product Development in the Investment Banking Division (IBD)

The Investment Banking Division (IBD) at Goldman Sachs works on some of the most complex financial challenges and transactions in the market today. Whether advising on a merger, providing financial solutions for an acquisition, or structuring an IPO, we handle projects that help a diverse range of clients achieve major milestones.

The IBD Digital Product team builds and maintains the very applications our bankers use day-in day-out to make those achievements a reality. The systems we support present unique and sophisticated challenges not often found in other businesses. As such, our environment relies on thoughtful, strategic thinkers to push the boundaries of what we build and how we build.

Our team believes that innovative, thoughtfully-designed, and well-built applications shouldnt be reserved for consumer products, and we believe in the impact that design and technology can make on the enterprise software our business runs on.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS:

We are looking for a front-end UI developer who is passionate about building modern, sophisticated, and scalable user interfaces. You will collaborate closely with our designers to define, interpret, and enhance the experience, and will equally need to be comfortable working independently to ensure that flexible and reusable solutions are implemented.

You should have experience working with popular responsive front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap, and a strong desire to build and maintain such a framework for our suite of products. You should be very comfortable developing such components using the latest versions of React, HTML, CSS, and Javascript without the need to rely on third-party frameworks yourself.

You should have an understanding of cloud services and APIs, and be mindful about how they will integrate with your front-end code. You will collaborate often with our broader engineering team to ensure these services are easily deployed without disruption to the intended user experience.

You should be comfortable with ambiguity and asking questions from either designers or other engineers to form an understanding of the best way to solve a problem before solving it.

In this role, you will have a large degree of autonomy and ownership over the final product experience. Our environment can be very fast-paced at times, and you should feel confident in your abilities to meet tight deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Build mobile-responsive components and pages using ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

Basic Qualifications

At least 3 years of professional software development experience with front end web development (ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3)
A proficiency with the required development languages without the need to rely on libraries
Experience developing responsively for mobile, tablet, and desktop
An understanding of major browsers, the special considerations required for each, and experience debugging cross-browser/cross-platform compatibility issues

Strong written and verbal communication skills

An incredibly strong attention to detail and organization, both in the UI and in your codebase
