Join Our Team-Where Values Drive Secure, Scalable Digital Experiences

We're seeking aSenior Web Engineer to help design, build, and maintain secure, high-performing web applications that support our customers, internal teams, and long-term digital strategy. This role plays a meaningful part in delivering reliable, accessible, and well-architected solutions within a regulated financial services environment.

As part of our continued commitment to strategic focus and accountability, First Carolina Bank and BM Technologies are guided by our core values: Intentional, Responsive, Enterprising, and Considerate. These principles shape how we build technology, collaborate across teams, and deliver solutions that are trustworthy, stable, and thoughtfully designed.

Why You'll Love This Role

• This is a front-end-focused role. While you'll collaborate closely with backend and platform teams, this position does not involve backend API development, mobile development, or DevOps responsibilities.
• This role is best suited for engineers who:
• • Identify primarily as front-end specialists
  • Want to deepen expertise in React and front-end architecture
  • Prefer building and owning UI systems rather than backend services
• Work on modern, full-stack web applications using React and server-side rendering
• Contribute to secure, accessible, and highly reliable digital platforms in a regulated environment
• Collaborate closely with product, UX, QA, compliance, and engineering partners
• Own features end-to-end-from design through deployment and support
• Influence development practices, tooling, and performance standards
• Mentor and support other developers through code review and collaboration
• Thrive in a steady, structured environment that values quality, consistency, and thoughtful execution

Candidates whose recent experience is primarily backend, mobile, or DevOps-focused may find this role less aligned.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Steady, thoughtful engineer who values precision, quality, and well-defined processes
• Comfortable working within established standards, frameworks, and regulatory requirements
• Collaborative and supportive team member who enjoys mentoring others
• Exercises good judgment and balances delivery speed with risk awareness and reliability
• Enjoys building deep technical expertise and continuously improving systems
• Communicates clearly in structured, async-friendly environments
• Patient, methodical, and dependable-focused on long-term success, not shortcuts

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain secure, high-performing web applications
• Lead development of React-based frontends with server-side rendering using Express
• Deliver complex frontend features aligned with business and product requirements
• Collaborate with Product, UX, Compliance, Infrastructure, and QA teams
• Ensure platforms meet accessibility (WCAG), privacy, and security standards
• Review code and provide guidance to promote clean, maintainable solutions
• Improve performance, reliability, and cross-browser compatibility
• Build and maintain reusable UI components and structured design systems
• Support automated testing, deployment workflows, and documentation
• Monitor production systems and respond to issues as needed
• Mentor junior developers and contribute to a supportive engineering culture

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in modern web development
• Deep, hands-on experience building complex React applications, including:
• • Hooks, controlled/uncontrolled state, and side-effect management
  • Component architecture and reusability strategies
  • Performance considerations (render behavior, memoization, hydration)
• Familiarity with server-side rendering concepts (e.g., React SSR).
• Experience with Express.js is a nice-to-have, but this role is primarily focused on front-end application architecture and delivery.
• Advanced JavaScript and TypeScript skills
• Strong experience with CSS-in-JS solutions, ideally Emotion or Styled Components, including:
• • Theming and design-system alignment
  • Co-location of styles and components
  • Managing styling complexity at scale (SCSS or CSS Modules experience is a plus.)
• Strong understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2, ARIA)
• Experience with testing tools such as Jest or React Testing Library
• Proficiency with Git workflows and collaborative development practices
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in remote, async teams

Preferred

• Experience with Vite or Webpack customization
• Contribution to internal component libraries or design systems
• Exposure to Docker, Azure, or cloud-based services

Risk Management Requirements

• Adheres to workplace policies, code of conduct, privacy, and information security standards
• Complies with all applicable regulatory requirements, including AML, BSA, and USA PATRIOT Act policies
• Acts within authorized limits and delegated authorities
• Follows established development, security, and change-control processes to protect customer and shareholder interests

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings plans with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development and technical growth opportunities
• Employee assistance programs
• Opportunity to work on meaningful, customer-impacting platforms
