Frontend Engineer London, England
Job description
About TradingHub
Founded in 2010, we have grown from a united vision shared between two people to a team of over 140 across London, Toronto, New York and Singapore. We have achieved scale by building the best-in-class surveillance tooling, where our analytics bring the front office risk mindset to the compliance function.
Though we have developed in the trade surveillance arena, we have always been more than that. At heart, we are a finance-focused big data firm. Our goal is to continue creating the world’s leading financial markets analytics platform.
The Role
We're embarking on a complete rewrite of our web framework, refreshing the entire stack from back to front. As a result, we are seeking a hands-on Frontend Engineer to help deliver our goal of modernising all aspects of our platform and to become a key figure within our growing engineering department, working closely with the Head of UI.
This platform will be used internally at TradingHub to allow our product teams to build state-of-the-art financial crime detection websites. It will be built utilising ASP.NET and Blazor, a front-end framework developed by Microsoft for developing UIs using C#, along with the wider .NET ecosystem in partnership with standard web foundations such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Working in this team would see your initial responsibility focusing on our in-development library of UI components, which will be put into use across all TradingHub’s product offerings. This provides a reusable library of widgets to allow our teams to rapidly build websites from reusable components. You'll also be helping TradingHub develop the tools to allow clients to build their own dashboards using our components.
