We're partnering with a leading quantitative trading firm that's continuing to invest heavily in its engineering teams. They're looking for a talented Software Engineer to help build the next generation of high-performance trading applications used by traders, quants, and researchers across global markets. This is an opportunity to work on complex, data-intensive applications where performance, usability, and reliability are critical. You'll be building sophisticated web-based platforms that process and visualise large volumes of real-time financial data.

Working as part of a highly collaborative engineering team, you'll design and develop modern frontend applications that power trading workflows. You'll work closely with traders, product specialists, and backend engineers to deliver intuitive, high-performance user interfaces.

You'll be involved in:

  • Building complex, interactive data grids and financial dashboards
  • Developing responsive, performant web applications handling real-time market data
  • Creating reusable UI components and internal frontend libraries
  • Optimising rendering performance for large datasets
  • Collaborating with backend teams to integrate low-latency APIs
  • Influencing architecture and frontend best practices

We're interested in engineers with strong experience building sophisticated web applications rather than simple websites.

You'll ideally have experience with:

  • JavaScript and TypeScript
  • React
  • AG Grid (or similar enterprise data grid technologies)
  • State management (Redux, Zustand or equivalent)
  • Performance optimisation and rendering large datasets
  • WebSockets or real-time data streaming
  • RESTful APIs
  • HTML5 and modern CSS
