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.
Requirements
Must Have
7+ years of hands-on full-stack development, with production ownership on both back-end and front-end.
Strong, current TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and one or more modern front-end frameworks (Svelte, React, or Vue), with the adaptability to work primarily in the framework a team has chosen rather than staying tied to one.
Strong, current Go experience, able to design, build and operate production Go services independently.
Experience building reusable, well-structured UI components and shared abstractions.
Proven experience handling large datasets and real-time updates from back-end sources (WebSockets, Server-Sent Events).
Strong understanding of performance optimization and rendering strategies in data-heavy applications, including a solid grasp of the…
