Job Description
We’re hiring a Frontend Engineer to help build a brand-new execution platform within a private, proprietary trading environment. This role sits close to the trading desk, building real-time, performance-sensitive interfaces used directly by traders. You’ll be working on greenfield systems with high technical standards and immediate impact.
What you’ll be working on
- Designing and building trader-facing web applications
- Creating responsive, high-performance UIs for live execution workflows
- Collaborating closely with backend engineers and trading teams
- Contributing to architectural discussions and system design
What we’re looking for
- Strong JavaScript fundamentals
- Experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
- Solid understanding of software engineering principles
- Comfort working across the stack (not a purely UI role)
- Interest in finance or trading systems (deep domain knowledge not required)
Why this role stands out
- Greenfield platform — no legacy rewrite
- Direct exposure to live trading activity
- High-impact work in a proprietary environment (no clients)
- Strong engineering culture with a high technical bar
Location & setup
- Hybrid role: minimum 3 days per week onsite in Connecticut
- Remaining days flexible (NYC office or WFH)
- Relocation support available
