Additional experience: 

• Experience with micro frontend architecture using NX and Angular or similar 
• Our core software principles: 
• Distributed Development & Microservices - As a core team enabling solutions to be developed across the business, we must provide clear development and orchestration boundaries and relieve the burden of dependency resolution on specific app teams. 
• Test Driven Development - We believe that architecting a solution through the lens of a robust test suite creates focus and purpose in the code we create. It is the primary enabler of continuous delivery. 
• Strict Typing - Simple: types enable you to catch bugs faster, greatly improves IDE assistance and enables predictable outcomes when using code produced by others.
• Continuous integration - Code that sits on a developer’s machine goes stale fast. Short PRs and software switches enable the team to stay current with one “interesting” version of the code.
