• Design and deliver high‑performance React interfaces over large‑scale real‑time datasets, replacing an established fat client platform used by traders across global trading desks.

• Demonstrated experience working directly with demanding, time‑poor end users—translating informal requirements and reference implementations into precise, consistent UI solutions.
• Experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• Background in financial services, particularly trading floor technology, equities, or risk management platforms.
• Experience with enterprise design systems such as Salt Design System or similar component libraries, focusing on consistency and usability over novelty.

• Experience migrating users from legacy desktop/fat‑client applications to modern web platforms, with sensitivity to performance parity expectations.
• Familiarity with real‑time data streaming architectures and integration with data platforms such as Deep Haven, KDB, or similar.
