Original job description
ABOUT THE ROLE
Build and scale the core user experience for a retail trading platform. You will own key frontend systems end to end, turning real-time market data into fast, clear, and intuitive tools for traders while partnering with design and backend engineering.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and maintain accessible, scalable web applications and reusable UI libraries.
- Create high-performance interactive charts and real-time visualizations that support trading decisions.
- Improve application speed and reliability through caching and performance optimization.
- Integrate REST APIs and WebSocket streams, and manage 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 products for trading, gaming, or casino use cases.
- Hands-on trading experience in crypto, perpetuals, or other markets, or frontend experience building for a trading firm or exchange.
- Experience with REST APIs, WebSockets, and frontend testing tools such as Jest, Vitest, or Cypress.
- A recent public GitHub history and polished live frontend work, such as a deployed product, personal site, or live demos.
- Ability to write production-quality code independently and use AI tools to complement, not replace, core engineering work.
