Our core team develops and supports the essential tools that allow traders to interact seamlessly with our systems and the markets. You will also be responsible for managing our react-based GUI platform and some of its key applications, while facilitating the integration and use of this platform by a diverse group of primarily Java-focused backend developers. These developers will rely on the platform to be able to quickly visualize various parts of our trading systems, ensuring broad utility across our technological landscape. You will play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the platform and the developers who leverage it to enhance our system's capabilities.

• Proven track record in UI/UX design, with a focus on creating intuitive interfaces for complex data sets and workflows.
• Proficiency in automated testing—unit, integration, and end-to-end—to ensure robustness and reliability of frontend components.
• Willingness to travel to our Amsterdam office annually for team collaboration and knowledge exchange, our existing react developers are primarily based in our office there.
• Excellent communication skills, able to interact effectively with technically skilled traders and integrate feedback into frontend solutions.
• Interest in data visualization and financial markets, we do not require experience in these ahead of joining, but you should be excited to understand the needs of your users and stakeholders.
• Experience with CI/CD tools such as TeamCity, Azure DevOps, Gitlab-CI, or Jenkins, and familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes are advantageous.
