Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Build and scale the core user experience for a retail trading platform. You will own major frontend systems from architecture through performance, working closely with design and backend engineering to make real-time market data clear and useful for traders.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and maintain full-featured web applications and reusable UI libraries that are fast, accessible, and scalable.
- Develop high-performance interactive charts and real-time visualizations that support trading decisions.
- Improve application speed and reliability through caching and performance engineering.
- Integrate REST APIs and WebSocket streams while managing robust client-side cached state.
- Maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, previews, testing, and rollbacks.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- One to ten years of professional frontend engineering experience.
- Strong skills in React, TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, and the Web Animations API (WAAPI).
- Experience building latency-sensitive, real-time interfaces, such as trading, gaming, or casino products.
- Hands-on experience with trading markets or frontend development for a trading firm or exchange.
- Experience integrating REST APIs and WebSocket streams, and familiarity with Jest, Vitest, Cypress, and CI/CD.
- An active GitHub with recent code and live frontend work that demonstrates polished visual quality.
- Ability to write production-quality code independently and use AI tools to complement, not replace, core engineering work.
