At a glance

ABN AMRO Clearing is a global leader in clearing, operating across Europe, the US, and APAC. IT is at the heart of our organisation, with a large global engineering community driving innovation, reliability, and performance for our clients.

We operate in a chapter-based engineering model, where craftsmanship, leadership, and continuous improvement are key to delivering high-quality software at scale.

As a Chapter Lead TypeScript / Angular, you are responsible for the “how” within the frontend engineering capability—combining people leadership, technical excellence, and standardisation of ways of working.

You will lead a chapter of highly skilled engineers and act as a thought leader in Angular and TypeScript, while remaining hands-on in engineering work.

This is a hybrid leadership role:

• ~70% contributing to engineering and delivery
• ~30% focused on coaching, people management, and chapter leadership

Your job

1. People Management & Chapter Leadership (Primary focus)

• Lead, coach, and develop a chapter of 4–15 engineers (internal and external)
• Drive performance management, growth conversations, and career development for chapter members
• Build a strong engineering culture focused on craftsmanship, ownership, and continuous learning
• Act as a mentor and coach, supporting both soft and hard skill development
• Ensure employee engagement, retention, and professional development within the chapter

2. Technical Leadership (Angular / TypeScript)

• Act as a thought leader in Angular and TypeScript, setting direction and standards
• Define and enforce frontend architecture, design principles, and coding standards
• Ensure delivery of high-quality, scalable, and secure frontend applications
• Guide teams in modern frontend engineering practices (testing, CI/CD, performance, accessibility)
• Contribute hands-on to complex technical implementations

You are expected to have deep expert-level knowledge in:

• Angular (enterprise-scale applications)
• TypeScript (frontend and potentially backend APIs)
• Frontend architecture, design systems, and usability

3. Way of Working & Standards

• Define and implement best practices, frameworks, and development standards across the chapter
• Establish knowledge-sharing structures, communities of practice, and guilds
• Ensure alignment with global engineering standards and compliance requirements
• Drive continuous improvement in engineering maturity and developer experience

4. Workforce Planning & Talent Strategy

• Perform strategic workforce planning together with the Chapter Area Lead
• Identify skill gaps and define training and upskilling initiatives
• Actively contribute to recruitment (interviews, selection criteria, hiring decisions)
• Balance capacity, skills, and demand across squads and initiatives

5. Collaboration within the Product Grid

• Work closely with Product Owners, Architects, and other Chapter Leads
• Contribute as an active engineer in delivery squads
• Ensure that technical and non-functional requirements are embedded in delivery
• Facilitate alignment across global teams and regions
