Role

Who you are

Deep expertise in modern frontend engineering, ideally with Angular and TypeScript
Significant experience designing and maintaining large‑scale component libraries and/or shared UI platforms (open-source community management is also a plus)
Strong grasp of CSS architecture, accessibility (a11y), performance optimisation and UX consistency at scale
Experience working closely with UX/UI designers to turn design systems into robust engineering solutions
Strong experience with automated frontend and platform testing (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, component testing, contract testing)
Good understanding of backend systems and APIs, with hands‑on or prior experience in Java‑based environments (e.g. Spring‑based services)
Strong appreciation of frontend‑to‑backend contracts, API evolution and backwards compatibility
Exposure to containerised environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud‑native delivery models
Understanding of DevOps / SRE principles in production‑grade systems

What the job involves

AFC Technology (AFC Tech) is responsible for designing, building, and operating the technology platforms that enable Deutsche Bank’s Anti‑Financial Crime (AFC) function
This includes delivering secure, resilient, and compliant solutions for transaction monitoring, case management, alerting, and data, while meeting regulatory expectations
AFC Tech partners closely with business, risk, and operations teams to reduce financial crime risk through scalable platforms, strong engineering standards, and continuous modernization
You will join the AFC Technology organisation in Berlin as a Lead Full Stack Engineer (f/m/x) with a strong focus on UI and frontend architecture
You will co‑lead a UI Platform team responsible for building and evolving a shared frontend platform used across multiple AFC product teams
This is a senior, hands‑on technical leadership role focused on creating scalable UI foundations rather than delivering a single product
While the role includes backend exposure (primarily Java), its primary focus is on modern frontend technologies
You will drive platform‑level frontend solutions, including Angular component libraries, design systems, Node.js build toolchains, micro frontends, performance, accessibility, and long‑term maintainability
> You love this job but feel you cannot tick 100% of the boxes
Send us your CV anyway!
Co‑lead the UI Platform team, providing hands‑on technical leadership in close collaboration with the Architect / Lead Engineer
Design, implement and evolve a scalable Angular‑based UI platform, including a large reusable component library and shared frontend capabilities
Ensure the platform addresses non‑functional requirements such as performance, accessibility, security, usability and long‑term maintainability
Partner with downstream product teams to enable adoption, gather feedback and continuously improve the platform
Ensure all platform development complies with bank standards, security requirements and SDLC best practices

Our take

Deutsche Bank is one of Europe's biggest banks, operating in around 60 countries. It has a long history but hasn't struggled to keep up with the changing times. Like launching Vert, a digital payments service for small and medium businesses, and focusing on investments that are good for the environment and society.

The banks performance in 2025 has been impressive too. In the first nine months, pre-tax profit reached €7.7B (up 64% from last year) and net profit climbed to €5.6B (a 76% increase). And all business divisions delivered double-digit profit growth, supported by revenue gains and disciplined cost management.

If this wasn't impressive enough, the bank is also making strong progress in ESG, reporting €23B in sustainable financing in the third quarter of 2025 alone. With these healthy finances, a clear strategic direction, and a focus on responsible growth, Deutsche Bank is in a very promising position for the future.
