About the Role

Join Morgan Stanley's Investment Banking Division as a React Developer helping build internal tools that support bankers in delivering strategic and financial advice to global clients.

  • Design clean, responsive, and user-friendly interfaces that simplify complex workflows.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and backend developers to deliver end-to-end solutions.
  • Translate business requirements into intuitive UI components and visualizations.
  • Contribute to strategic projects that improve productivity, reporting, and client deliverables.
  • Engage with backend service (Python, APIs, databases) development if interested.


What We're Looking For
  • Strong experience with React and frontend technologies.
  • Familiarity with design systems, component libraries, and UI/UX best practices.
  • Experience working with REST APIs and integrating frontend with backend services.
  • Interest or experience in backend development (Python) is a plus but not required.
  • Comfortable working in English and collaborating with global teams.
  • Interest in finance.
