About the company
Our client is a financial technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the browser-based experience for a fast-moving, data-heavy consumer application. Partner with design and backend colleagues to release improvements often, focusing on speed, polish and dependable behavior.
What you'll do
- Create and maintain rich web applications along with shared interface components that stay quick, accessible and easy to scale.
- Produce responsive, interactive charting and live data displays that help people make timely choices.
- Tune load speed and reliability through smart caching, targeting very fast page loads.
- Connect the interface to backend services over request-based and streaming APIs, and manage cached state in the browser.
- Maintain automated delivery pipelines covering builds, preview environments, tests and quick reversions.
- Work side by side with designers and backend engineers to iterate continuously on the product.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Solid front-end engineering depth with React, TypeScript and JavaScript.
- Hands-on personal trading in crypto, derivatives or other markets, or past front-end work at a trading firm or exchange.
- Commercial background delivering interfaces where low latency and live updates are critical, for example in trading, gaming or casino products.
- Strong command of CSS and browser animation APIs.
- Visible, deployed front-end projects that show strong visual craft, such as a live product, portfolio site or demos.
- A GitHub profile with recent, genuine coding activity.
- Authorization to work in the US without sponsorship (TN visas are the sole exception) and willingness to work on-site in New York.
Bonus points
- A history as a front-end developer within a trading business or trading product rather than a general consumer app.
- Familiarity wiring interfaces to request-response and streaming data sources.
