Rocketfin Consulting Ltd - London, UK - Full-time - Senior / Lead
Engineering Lead - FX Options Platform
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for an Engineering Lead to own the technical execution of our FX Options Platform - a fast-moving, AI-native trading system where frontend, middleware, and intelligent agents all converge. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll be writing production code, shaping architecture, and setting the bar for how we build AI-powered financial products at Rocketfin.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Lead engineering execution end-to-end - from scoping and architecture through to shipping production-grade systems at pace.
- Build AI-native product experiences - designing UX and systems that put Claude and LLMs at the core, not the periphery.
- Architect middleware and orchestration layers - the connective tissue that links frontend, AI systems, and financial data flows.
- Work hands-on with agents and AI workflows - building, iterating, and owning agentic systems in production.
- Move fast and ship high-quality systems - balancing speed with craft in a trading environment where reliability and precision matter.
CORE STACK
TypeScript - React - Python - Claude / LLM-native development
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You're genuinely AI-forward - not just someone who uses LLMs as a feature, but someone who thinks in agent workflows, orchestration patterns, and AI-native UX. You operate comfortably across the full stack and take pride in systems that are both fast and well-crafted. You've led engineers (or are ready to), and you bring clarity and momentum to a team.
NICE TO HAVE
- Agentic systems - experience building and running agents in production
- Streaming AI UX - designing real-time, streaming AI experiences
- MCP ecosystems - familiarity with Model Context Protocol tooling
- Frontend design systems - component libraries and design systems at scale
- Financial products / trading / FX - options, FX, or trading platform experience
