Senior Frontend Engineer Remote (UK-based) | Full-Time Reactive Markets is the 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year ( Risk.net ). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers. We build trading systems that operate at the edge of what's technically possible — where nanoseconds matter and a dropped message costs real money. Our engineering team is small, senior, and deeply invested in the craft of building cutting edge, reliable, high-performance systems. We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to build the trading platform our clients use every day. Despite the "frontend" name, this is not a UI-only role — our Frontend team works across the whole application stack in TypeScript and Rust, from the trader-facing interfaces down to the services behind them. It's distinct from our Backend team, who own the low-latency C++/Go trading engine. You'll own complex, ambiguous, performance-critical work end-to-end — designed, built, tested, deployed, and supported in production. Occasional hours outside the normal working day are required for production releases, scheduled maintenance windows, and Level 3 support during critical incidents. Complex full-stack features in TypeScript and Rust — from trader-facing interfaces to the application services behind them Real-time market-data presentation and high-throughput, low-latency application code across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) for demanding, data-dense trading interfaces Distributed systems and real-time data over REST, WebSockets, and network protocols Observability and monitoring — dashboards, alerting, and metrics that make frontend behaviour visible Strong full-stack engineering ability with deep TypeScript / JavaScript (ES6+) (5+ years) Solid experience with React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) If your Rust is still developing, a strong track record of picking up new languages to depth quickly is essential Strong grasp of distributed systems, API design, and real-time data (REST, WebSockets, network protocols such as TCP/UDP and binary protocols) Python for scripting, automation, and tooling is a bonus Git and Linux fundamentals Experience in financial services or trading technology is a plus but not essential You ship. Senior here means trusted, not just experienced 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. Real problems — trading systems where performance is measured in microseconds, not user clicks Competitive package — up to 30 days leave + bank holidays, private health insurance, pension, life insurance, dental/optical cashback, cycle to work, socials and offsites Remote-friendly — work from home with flexibility. Growth — career progression to senior roles, performance specialisation, or technical leadership. We believe in transparency, honest feedback, and writing things down. We frame AI as empowering people — removing toil, amplifying capability, enabling higher-value work.
