- Integrate UI components with distributed backend systems and real -time data services, understanding the full lifecycle of the data

- Drive front -end engineering best practices, performance optimization, maintainability, and architectural consistency
- Collaborate closely with cross -functional engineering, product, and business teams to deliver client -facing capabilities and enhancements
- Contribute to the evolution of reusable UI frameworks, component libraries, and developer tooling
Qualifications: - Exceptional analytical skills and a natural curiosity to understand how complex, distributed systems work from the backend to the user interface
- Proficiency in TypeScript and React, with a solid foundation in modern web development
- A well -rounded, adaptable engineering mindset with the flexibility and willingness to contribute across the full stack when necessary
- Experience building front -end applications, with a strong appetite for scaling your skills and tackling large -scale, production -grade challenges
- Understanding of UI architecture, state management, and rendering performance
- Product -oriented mindset with the ability to work closely with stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver scalable solutions
- Strong UX instincts with experience designing applications that simplify complex workflows and present real - time information clearly and efficiently
- Ability to operate effectively in environments without dedicated UI design support
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Experience in financial services, electronic trading, market data, or other high -performance software environments is a plus, but not required
Why Join Us : - Build the next generation of client -facing platforms used by leading institutional investors around the world
- Work on business -critical products that deliver best -in-class electronic trading experiences
- Collaborate with exceptional engineers, quantitative researchers, product managers, and business leaders
