Frontend Engineer

JOB DESCRIPTION

Entry Level Frontend Engineer

Caava Group · Group Technology · Evolve Platform

Reports To

Technical Lead of the assigned Evolve team

Works With

Frontend and Backend Engineers, QA Engineers, Product and the Shared Experience squad

Scope

Assigned Evolve screens, user journeys, bug fixes, testing and release support

Tech Stack

TypeScript, Angular, Next.js, HTML, CSS, REST APIs and Git

Growth Path

 Associate Software Engineer, based on performance and business need

Role Purpose

Evolve is Caava Group’s insurance management platform, built on Spring Boot services with Angular and Next.js frontends, and used by AIICO for its insurance operations. Working with experienced engineers, you will build clearly scoped screens and user journeys, test and debug them, and build practical knowledge of insurance workflows and dependable engineering practice.

This entry-level role suits candidates with internship, academic or personal project experience. Technical decisions, code reviews and production changes are supported by experienced team members. Growing towards full-stack work is encouraged.

Career Path

Progression to Associate Software Engineer depends on consistent delivery against these measures, growing independence on larger tasks, code and test quality, and business need.

Core Accountabilities

Build and maintain Evolve screens

• Build assigned features and bug fixes in Angular or Next.js to agreed designs, coding standards and acceptance criteria.
• Use the shared design system and components rather than rebuilding them; raise gaps with the Shared Experience squad.
• Integrate REST APIs and handle validation, loading, empty and error states. Build responsive, accessible forms and journeys with guidance.

Test changes and work through code review

• Write and maintain unit and component tests for your changes, covering normal, boundary and failure cases. Work with QA on cross-browser checks, defect reproduction and fix verification.
• Submit small, reviewable changes through Git branches and pull requests. Explain your approach, apply feedback and keep technical documentation up to date.

Investigate issues and communicate clearly

• Investigate issues using browser developer tools, logs and test environments. Record evidence and escalate unfamiliar, high-risk or production-impacting problems promptly.
• Clarify requirements and API contracts with backend engineers, Product and QA before implementation. Estimate tasks with support, share progress and raise blockers or risks early.

Apply secure practices and support releases

• Follow secure frontend practices: keep credentials and customer data out of client code, logs and URLs, and use approved test data and access permissions.
• Support release preparation and deployment checks under guidance, and learn how changes affect Evolve’s users and insurance processes.

Key Performance Indicators

KPI

Measure

Target

Sprint delivery

Original sprint items Done by sprint end ÷ items committed at sprint start × 100.

≥85% each sprint.

Test completeness

Agreed unit, component and browser checks executed for each change.

All agreed cases run; failures resolved or accepted by the Technical Lead before merge.

Release quality

Own released changes linked to a production defect or rollback ÷ own released changes × 100.

Proposed: ≤10% over a rolling 4 weeks; 0 critical defects.

Code review

Peer PRs reviewed and time to first response on assigned reviews.

3–5 reviews per sprint; <6 working hours.

Docs and handover

Changes affecting screens, components or setup with notes updated before handover ÷ such changes × 100.

100%.

 

Review weekly with your lead: sprint measures are scored per sprint and release quality over a rolling 4 weeks. Snapshot scope at sprint planning and record changes separately. Report N/A where no work is eligible. Proposed targets are confirmed after the first quarter of data.

Experience and Working Style

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent practical training supported by relevant projects.
• Foundational TypeScript or JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills, with a component framework (Angular, React or Next.js) used in coursework, an internship or a working project.
• Understanding of component structure, state, forms and responsive layout, plus basic debugging with browser developer tools.
• Basic knowledge of REST APIs, HTTP and JSON, and version control with Git.
• Ability to write basic automated tests, explain your code and use documentation to solve problems.

Working Style

• Attention to detail and care for how users experience a journey.
• Clear communication, a collaborative approach, and willingness to act on feedback and ask for help early.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to both Angular and Next.js; experience in both is not expected.
• Basic accessibility knowledge such as WCAG, semantic HTML and keyboard navigation.
• Exposure to Playwright, Cypress or Jest, basic Java/Spring Boot, or an interest in insurance systems.
