Job Description


Create High-Performance, Real-Time Frontend for a Global Crypto Trading Leader


Join one of the world’s leading crypto trading platforms, building mission-critical technology used by professional traders globally. The company operates at significant scale, sits at the forefront of digital asset trading, and has recently been acquired by the largest US-based cryptocurrency exchange, strengthening long-term stability and ambition.


This is a Senior Frontend Engineer role for someone who values technical depth, ownership, and performance-critical systems. This is not a design-led UI role, but real-time frontend engineering where milliseconds matter.


You will work closely with a small, highly experienced engineering team building and evolving the core trading UI and adjacent trading products.


Why join?

• Real-time systems where frontend performance genuinely matters

• Core trading platform with high volume and technical complexity

• Senior environment with autonomy, trust, and ownership

• Strong engineering culture with early adoption of AI coding tools

• Flexible working with the ability to work abroad

• Competitive compensation and long-term security

  • Building and maintaining high-performance, real-time frontend interfaces
  • Working primarily with React and TypeScript on the core trading platform
  • Translating complex trading workflows into robust, intuitive UIs
  • Collaborating closely with backend engineers and product stakeholders
  • Making pragmatic technical decisions in a fast-moving, high-ownership team
  • Continuously improving performance, reliability, and developer experience


Essential experience

  • React: 2–3+ years with strong technical and architectural understanding
  • TypeScript: 5+ years of professional experience
  • Technically strong frontend engineer, not design-only focused
  • Experience in small, fast-moving teams with real responsibility
  • Senior-level independence, accountability, and decision-making


Beneficial experience

  • Node.js exposure
  • React Native experience
  • Interest in trading, finance, or crypto markets
  • Experience working on complex, data-heavy applications


Mindset fit

  • Ambitious and motivated to add value quickly
  • Pragmatic problem-solver who ships
  • Strong work ethic and high agency
  • Comfortable owning problems end-to-end
  • Curious, adaptable, and positive towards AI-assisted development


Package and logistics

Contract: 12 months initially, then permanent

Salary: €80,000-100,000 plus benefits

Location: Hybrid, 3 days in the Amsterdam office and 2 days remote

Work abroad: Up to 60 days every 6 months

Visa sponsorship: Yes

30% ruling: Supported

Relocation: Supported


Hiring process

The process consists of three stages overall, combining practical and conversational elements. It is designed to assess real-world engineering ability, technical depth, and team fit rather than theoretical knowledge.


Due to the expected volume of applications, we are unfortunately unable to provide extensive individual feedback during the CV screening stage.


If you are a Senior Frontend Engineer looking to work on serious, real-time trading systems, this is one of the strongest frontend opportunities in the market.
