Job Overview

We are seeking experienced full-stack engineers to build the user interfaces and services for mission-critical financial applications: visual analytics platforms and data-driven tools used by traders, researchers, and analysts.

You will work on the TypeScript front-ends and the Go services that serve them. We are evolving our front-end applications into a modular, plugin-based platform that other engineers and teams build on—so you will build reusable UI modules, component libraries, and SDKs as much as end-user features, and also the Go services that ingest, process, and serve market and on-chain data to these applications. You will own your work from structured product requirements through to production.

This is a highly collaborative role in a fast-paced environment where clean design, high performance, and responsive UIs are critical to the business.

You don't need a background in trading or finance. We care most about engineering craft and will teach you the domain.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with traders, researchers, and product managers to translate complex workflows into elegant UI solutions.
• Design and implement high-performance, responsive front-end applications using a current-generation TypeScript framework (Svelte, React, or Vue).
• Design, build and operate Go back-end services with security and performance considerations baked into their design.
• Own service boundaries and data contracts end-to-end, from Go services to typed front-end SDKs.
• Build reusable UI modules, component libraries, and SDKs for a modular, plugin-based UI platform.
• Build real-time UIs that ingest and render high-frequency market and on-chain data from multiple streaming sources.
• Develop high-performance data visualizations for large, fast-updating datasets, using canvas-based charting (e.g. uPlot, TradingView Lightweight Charts) and D3.js for bespoke views.
• Integrate the front-end with back-end services through typed SDKs and MCP-based interfaces, including real-time market and on-chain data.
• Drive architecture and performance decisions for modular, extensible systems, with scalability and maintainability in mind.
• Deploy and maintain applications, keeping them reliable and performant under heavy load.
• Write and maintain automated tests and take part in code review to keep the codebase reliable and maintainable.
• Support system maintenance and feature evolution with a high delivery cadence and short iteration cycles.
• Mentor other engineers and promote engineering best practices across the team.
