Graduate Software Engineer - UI

You'll join the UI team building the front-end of a trading and portfolio management platform, where large volumes of real-time market and position data must be displayed clearly, accurately, and fast. Working alongside experienced front-end developers, you'll help build the live grids, charts, and dashboards that traders and portfolio managers depend on every day. You'll be someone who gets more interested when you hit something you don't understand, who learns by building things and breaking them, and who isn't fazed by complex, messy data. You'll take dense and tangled information and turn it into a screen someone else can understand, sweating the details because in a trading system the details are the whole game.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain user interfaces in TypeScript and React
• Work with streaming, real-time data for live prices, orders, positions, and P&L
• Present large, fast-moving datasets through interactive grids and charts
• Ensure performance and accuracy so the numbers are right and the screen doesn't lag
• Collaborate with senior developers and take part in code reviews
• Take on increasing ownership over time

Requirements

• A degree (or equivalent) in computing, or demonstrable equivalent self-taught ability
• Working knowledge of the web platform: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Some hands-on experience with TypeScript and React, e.g. coursework, personal projects, internships, or self-study
• An understanding of how a modern front-end application is structured: components, state, and rendering
• Evidence of self-driven learning like a side project, a deployed app, or a GitHub
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills to collaborate across cross-functional teams
• A passion for a career in a FinTech environment and a genuine interest in the Crypto / Digital Assets space
• Exposure to Next.js or a modern build tool such as Vite (desirable)
• Experience with data-heavy UI components like grids (e.g. ag-Grid) or charting libraries (e.g. Highcharts) (desirable)
• Exposure to real-time or streaming data such as WebSockets or live updates (desirable)
• An eye for UI performance and rendering efficiently where data changes constantly (desirable)
• An interest in finance, markets, or trading (desirable)
• Familiarity with Git and working in a team codebase (desirable)
