Exciting opportunity to work at a tech-centric prop trading fund which trades a wide range of financial products, with offices across the globe. Looking for a software engineer who is passionate about front‑end development, user‑interface design, and typed functional programming. You would take part in the design and implementation of the next generation of browser‑based tools for operating trading infrastructure. You’ll be building for expert users, which means the UX bar is high, and at the same time create tools that are flexible and powerful enough to satisfy the needs of deeply engaged users. Beyond working on the individual tools, the successful candidate will be someone who can find opportunities to create libraries and abstractions that capture common interaction idioms, and to sharpen development practices and firm‑wide approach to UI development.
Responsibilities:
- The role will provide opportunities to work in multiple parts of the stack, including front‑ends, back‑ends, middleware, and databases.
- The job will also involve working closely with traders and other end‑users to better understand their needs.
Qualifications:
- A strong background in web technologies, including browser fundamentals like CSS and the DOM, and an understanding of the principles of UI frameworks like Vue, Angular, React, and Flutter.
- Practical experience building sophisticated UIs in the browser.
- Someone who loves the detailed polishing that's needed to build elegant and highly usable UIs.
- An interest in and appreciation of typed functional programming as an approach to UI construction.
- Experience with languages like Elm, ReasonML, Purescript, and Typescript is a plus (OCaml experience is useful, but not expected).
About The Company:

Today, they have nearly 2,000 employees across five global offices, trading a broad range of asset classes on more than 200 venues in 45 countries.
