Headquartered in California, Ceryneian is a fintech innovation company dedicated to empowering traders with sophisticated yet accessible tools for quantitative research, strategy development, and execution. Our flagship platform is currently under development. As our Frontend / Full Stack Engineer, you’ll lead the creation of a stunning, intuitive user experience—spanning our landing page, drag-and-drop strategy builder, trading dashboards, and internal tools. You’ll collaborate closely with design, backend, and DevOps teams to build high-performance, secure, and scalable customer-facing applications. This role is central to delivering the reliability, flexibility, and performance our users will rely on in fast-moving financial markets.

We are a remote-first team and are open to hiring exceptional candidates globally.

Core Tasks • Design, build, and deploy customer-facing interfaces, including the strategy builder, dashboards, and marketplace. • Implement reusable UI components based on Figma designs; integrate charting tools like TradingView or Highcharts. • Own the frontend development pipeline, including prototyping, implementation, testing, and responsiveness. • Implement secure authentication and user management (OAuth2, JWT, multi-role access). • Build real-time web experiences using WebSockets, REST, and client-server integrations. • Collaborate with backend and DevOps teams to streamline data flow and deployment workflows.

Top Technical Competencies • Strong foundation in HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript. • Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks such as React (Next.js), Svelte, Angular, Vue, or Phoenix. • Experience with OAuth2 and secure authentication workflows. • Familiarity with server-side rendering (SSR) and modern state management (Zustand, Redux, MobX). • Integration experience with charting libraries such as TradingView, Recharts, or Highcharts. • Deployment experience using platforms like Vercel, Heroku, GCP, or AWS. • Working knowledge of WebSockets, REST APIs, and data streaming models. • 0–3 years of frontend development experience.

Bonus Competencies • Familiarity with Supabase, PostgreSQL, Firebase, or MongoDB. • Understanding of microfrontend architectures or API Gateway patterns. • Experience with WebAssembly and real-time trading interfaces. • Exposure to fintech platforms or trading systems. • Background from Tier-I or Tier-II institutions with strong computer science fundamentals, a passion for scalable system design, and a drive to build cutting-edge fintech infrastructure.

Ideal Candidate You’re a design-minded full stack engineer who builds fast, clean, and modular frontend systems. You thrive on making complex interfaces intuitive—turning strategy logic into drag-and-drop workflows—and can ship high-performance components that integrate seamlessly with real-time APIs. You value design systems, scalable frontends, and cross-functional collaboration.

What We Offer • Opportunity to shape the product interface of a next-gen fintech startup. • A collaborative, technically driven culture. • Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses. • Flexible working hours and a remote-friendly environment. • Exposure to financial modeling, trading infrastructure, and real-time systems. • Collaboration with a world-class team from Pomona, UCLA, Harvey Mudd, and Claremont McKenna.
