About The Position

The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will be a foundational contributor within our Core Trade engineering team. You’ll be part of a dynamic, high-performing team building an ultra-high throughput, low-latency trading system and the tools required to run it, all aimed at democratizing investing globally. We are looking for an engineer who values simplicity over complexity, both in architecture and communication. You’ll be leading the charge with modern technologies and AI-assisted development workflows to scale our mission-critical trading stack for hyper-scale growth. You’ll be highly autonomous and hands-on, working cross-functionally across engineering teams and collaborating directly with the business, Quants, stakeholders, and Trade Desk users. As a Senior Engineer, you should bring clear communication, collaborative problem-solving, and a genuine drive to build resilient, high-performance systems for best-in-class trade desk applications. You will design and champion human-in-the-loop development practices to maximize team velocity without sacrificing our uncompromising standard for highly available, scalable architecture.

Requirements

5+ years of software development experience with deep expertise in TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES8+), Java, React, WebSockets, or similar technologies for complex, real-time data streaming, and Browser API and standards.
Proven track record of designing, building, and owning highly available architectures at scale.
Strong familiarity with modern AI coding assistants and a demonstrated ability to leverage them to improve developer productivity safely.
Deep understanding of, and advocacy for, rigorous testing standards, including unit testing (React Testing Library) and E2E testing (Playwright, Cypress).
Exceptional verbal and technical writing skills. You must be able to distill complex architectural concepts and designs into clear, understandable language for both engineering peers and business stakeholders.
A detail and results-oriented mindset with elite analytical abilities and a bias toward action.

Responsibilities

Own the technical design, architecture, and delivery of complex React/TypeScript front-end and Java back-end features from inception to production.
Drive architectural best practices, ensuring solutions are highly secure, scalable, and resilient.
Act as a force multiplier for the team. Mentor mid-level and junior engineers, lead code reviews, and elevate the overall technical bar of the organization.
Pioneer our use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate coding, testing, and documentation, setting the standard for secure and effective AI integration in our workflows.
Architect workflows that seamlessly blend automated decision-making and high-throughput data processing with human-in-the-loop validation for our trade desks and operational teams.
Partner horizontally with key stakeholders including Trade Desks, Quants, Product Managers, and other engineering leads to translate complex business goals into robust technical execution.
Define bold, measurable technical goals for your projects and collaborate with leadership to hit broader organizational targets.
