Job Summary & Responsibilities
Technology is crucial to driving revenue for the firm as we develop applications that offer unmatched features. Our flagship trading platform is used by our clients to trade Foreign Exchange and Commodities on a daily basis. This application is currently built using .NET and we are rebuilding it from scratch as a web-based trading platform using modern web UI frameworks, without sacrificing the native performance and features our clients rely on.
We are looking for a strong and creative Web Developer/Architect to help with this effort. As part of our team, you'll work with the latest web technologies like WebSockets, Web Workers, Webpack 2, PostCSS, Electron, TypeScript, and more. We are looking for people who can take all these technologies and help us create the fastest, most-reliable, and full-featured trading platform in the industry.
If you have experience building and designing high-performance web applications using JavaScript and modern web UI frameworks, we'd love to hear from you. Server-side Java experience is a plus, but definitely not necessary.
