React Engineer - Data Platform (UI Focused)
Location: Belfast (Hybrid)
Salary: Up to £60,000
We're working with a major global financial services firm on a pivotal role within their Reference Data team, as they rebuild a core internal data ingestion platform. While the title is Data Engineer, the focus here is very much on frontend engineering - specifically a greenfield UI rebuild using React and GraphQL.
You'll join a growing Belfast-based team of five developers and a business analyst, with the team lead based in London. The broader project involves migrating away from a third-party supplier and building out internal capability. The UI rebuild is expected to take around 18 months and is considered a critical strategic priority.
What you'll be working on:
Greenfield UI rebuild using React and GraphQL
Helping define frontend architecture and standards
Collaborating with backend/data engineers and product teams
Supporting the knowledge transfer from third-party suppliers
What we're looking for:
Strong experience with React (hooks, component architecture, modern tooling)
Understanding of containerisation (e.g. Docker/Kubernetes)
Exposure to AWS is a nice bonus
Domain knowledge not essential - strong fundamentals matter most
Why apply?
18-month rebuild of a high-impact internal platform
Informal 1-stage interview process if it's a strong match
Supportive, collaborative engineering team
Belfast-based hybrid model with flexibility
Salary up to £60k
