Senior Frontend Engineer
Remote (UK-based) | Full-Time
About Us 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year ( ). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers. The Role What You'll Work On Type Script and Rust — from trader-facing interfaces to the application services behind them What We Need
Technical:
Type Script / Java Script (ES6+) (5+ years) React and reactive state management (RX, Mob X, or similar) Rust — it's part of our stack and not optional at this level. If your Rust is still developing, a strong track record of picking up new languages to depth quickly is essential
Python for scripting, automation, and tooling is a bonus
How you work:
You ship. You're delivery-focused — you iterate, you improve, you get things into production
You run with things. Give you an ambiguous, complex problem and you drive it to done without being managed through it. Senior here means trusted, not just experienced
You have range. You're not just strong in the familiar parts of the stack — you pick up the unfamiliar and hold your own on the hardest work
You own it. When you build something, you take responsibility for its behaviour in production. You respond to incidents (15-minute acknowledgement SLA during working hours), investigate issues, and close the loop
You raise the bar. You review peers' work thoughtfully, mentor the engineers around you through the craft, and set a standard others calibrate to
You write things down. Documentation is not an afterthought — it's how we scale knowledge across a distributed team. If it's not written down, it doesn't exist
You communicate. We're a distributed team across multiple time zones. Clear, proactive communication — especially when things go wrong — is essential
You embrace AI tooling. We use AI tools (Claude, Gemini) to amplify our engineering capability — from code review and debugging to incident investigation and documentation. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be curious and willing to learn
What You Get
Real problems — trading systems where performance is measured in microseconds, not user clicks

Remote-friendly — work from home with flexibility. We trust our people to deliver
Sustainable pace — we work hard, but we don't burn people out. Balance is how we stay sharp
Growth — career progression to senior roles, performance specialisation, or technical leadership. We invest in people who invest in us
