Job description - the role
The UI Engineer will join the FIC Sales Technology team, playing a key role in designing and building modern, intuitive and high-performance user interfaces that directly support our client's Fixed Income & Currencies (FIC) sales organisation.

What you'll do:
- Build high-performance, scalable software components using modern engineering practices and contribute to complex technical problem solving.
- Support the design and implementation of distributed, service-oriented architecture, ensuring reliability and maintainability.
- Create intuitive and responsive user interfaces using React, improving how salespeople access insights and manage client workflows.
- Contribute to the development of data-driven application features that enhance sales workflows and client interaction.
- Integrate with existing systems and contribute to the development of a cohesive sales technology platform aligned with strategic direction.
- Work closely with sales, product, data, and engineering teams to gather requirements, shape solutions, and ensure successful delivery.
The skills you'll need:
- Strong engineering background delivering complex web applications in fast-paced environments, with a solid grounding in modern software engineering practices and proven use of XP/agile methodologies including TDD, acceptance testing, pair programming, code reviews, and continuous integration.
- Expert-level proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, HTML, and CSS, with experience building scalable, maintainable, and accessible user interfaces for business-critical applications.
- Experience building microfrontend-based platforms for real-time applications, including patterns for distributing streaming data, managing shared client context, coordinating cross-application communication, and maintaining UI performance under high-frequency update scenarios.
- Understanding of frontend architecture concerns such as state management, performance optimisation, observability, resilience, security, and browser compatibility.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, monitoring, and operating production systems at scale.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working closely with product managers, designers, backend engineers, and business stakeholders to deliver cohesive user experiences.
Desirable:
