- AI-augmented development — Leverage Citi's AI tools (CoPilot, Squad AI, Stylus, Citi Assist) to enhance productivity, code quality, and delivery velocity as part of the Engineering Excellence programme.
What we’ll need from you
- Frontend expertise — Proven experience building responsive, scalable web applications using React.js (or Angular), with strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3.

- Containerisation & cloud-native — Hands-on experience writing and deploying services as containers to a Kubernetes environment (e.g. Red Hat OpenShift), with familiarity with Docker and Helm.
- DevOps & CI/CD — Understanding of DevOps automation tools and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub, Maven); experience with secrets management (e.g. HashiCorp Vault) is a plus.
- Code quality & clean code — A genuine passion for writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code; experience with code review practices and engineering excellence standards.
- AI tool adoption — Experience using AI-powered developer tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot or similar) to enhance productivity, code quality, and delivery speed.
- Collaboration & communication — Demonstrated ability to work effectively in distributed, cross-geography teams; clear and concise written and verbal communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
