Summary

The Trading Infrastructure team is building a high-performance, front-to-back Trading Platform that supports multi-asset trading. The platform is designed to handle financial instruments with low-latency execution, robust risk controls, and seamless integration across trading, risk, operations, and finance workflows.

The system is built with a modular architecture encompassing core components such as market data feeds, order gateways, execution algorithms, risk engines, UI dashboards, middle office reconciliation, and account infrastructure. We emphasize event-driven, deterministic system design, real-time observability, and strong security.

Our tech stack includes Java (low-latency), Python, Web UI (React/Ag-Grid), Aeron, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD tooling, with a strong focus on automation, scalability, and performance. AI-assisted development tools are also leveraged to boost productivity and quality across the team.

Responsibilities

1. Design, develop, and maintain high-performance WebUIs for trading functions such as order tickets, real-time blotters, position views, and time series charting.
2. Build advanced UI components using React.js, Next.js, and Ag-Grid, focusing on modularity, performance, and responsiveness.
3. Translate complex trading workflows (including options and multi-leg strategies) into intuitive, trader-friendly interfaces.
4. Integrate frontend with real-time backend systems such as AMPS, ViewServer, and custom messaging protocols.
5. Implement and contribute to microfrontend and microservices architectures in a scalable multi-team environment.
6. Collaborate with backend teams working in Java, Python, and scripting tools to develop and support fullstack features.
7. Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, CodeWhisperer) to boost development efficiency while maintaining high code quality.
8. Participate in architectural reviews, code audits, and performance profiling to ensure a robust and maintainable codebase.

Requirements

1. Minimum 5+ years of experience in frontend or fullstack development, preferably within trading or financial systems.
2. Deep expertise in React.js, Next.js, and Ag-Grid, plus strong familiarity with modern state management libraries (Redux, MobX, XState, etc.).
3. Solid experience building UI for trading systems including blotters, risk dashboards, and charting tools.
4. Proven ability to integrate frontend with real-time streaming backends (e.g., AMPS, ViewServer) and WebSocket/REST APIs.
5. Strong understanding of the order lifecycle, market data, and trading of instruments such as spot, futures, and options.
6. Experience with backend development using Java is required — including API integration, business logic, and collaboration with platform teams.
7. Familiarity with microfrontend architecture and UI composition techniques.
8. Comfort with modern frontend tooling, code profiling, testing, and performance optimization.
9. Able to use AI-powered development tools to streamline coding and maintain quality.

Communication & Collaboration

1. Proficient in English (spoken and written); Chinese or other languages are a plus but not required.
2. Comfortable working in a global team with colleagues across APAC, EMEA, and North America.
3. Strong communication skills; able to interface across all levels from senior leadership to developers and cross-functional stakeholders.
4. Able to explain complex workflows to both technical and non-technical audiences and drive alignment across teams with diverse backgrounds.
