I’m currently working on a Senior UI engineering opportunity within a global financial markets environment, building a next-generation trading platform used by Sales, Trading, and institutional clients.

What you’ll be working with:

  • WebSockets / Server-Sent Events
  • High-performance data-heavy UIs and trading blotters
  • Market data, pricing, RFQ, order entry and trade capture
  • Front-end architecture, reusable components and design systems
  • Performance optimisation and low-latency rendering
  • Automated testing, CI/CD and observability
  • Secure UI development within a highly regulated environment

The role would suit someone with experience across:

  • Front Office / Trading technology
  • Real-time financial applications
  • Market data, pricing or execution workflows
  • High-performance React/TypeScript applications
  • Reactive programming / RxJS
  • Capital Markets – FX, Rates, Credit, Equities or Commodities

You’ll work closely with Product, UX, Quant, Pricing, Execution and Risk teams, while helping shape the architecture and technical direction of the platform.
