Front-end Developer

The organisation

High performance, low latency, financial markets… You know where this is going right? Yup, trading. Business is booming right now and this company is looking to make the most of it. Which is where you come in.

The Netherlands has always been at the forefront of financial trading and this company is looking to keep it that way. As a High-Frequency trading firm, it breathes technology. For every trader on the floor, there are at least two engineers. Make no mistake, IT is their core business, because, in such a highly competitive market, performance, speed, and reliability are key. Which is where you come in.

The position

Speed is crucial to everything the organization does, but with a company full of back-end geniuses and mathematical wizards, they’ve never had attention for designing user-friendly front-ends. Front-ends that actually show you the information you’re looking for in a meaningful format. Imagine the world’s most complex trading systems only being accessible through a command-line interface. This is your opportunity to not only show them the light but also define and develop their global front-end technology stack.

Candidate profile

Of course, you’ll need to bring the right set of tools to turn things around. A solid background in Computer Science or a closely related field is essential. As is, a few years of experience in Front-end Development in React. A few years of relevant experience with Angular and Vue, or even some NodeJS on the back-end, will also definitely come in handy, though we’re mainly focused on the willingness and ability to learn. Ultimately, a lot will come down to your mindset and attitude. Being pragmatic, proactive, and always user-focused is key.

The offer

Pretty damn well, to be honest. Starting with a base salary between € 70.000 and € 95.000 gross a year, excluding the secondary benefits. And those secondary benefits, are second to none. From a fully catered lunch every day and flexible working to a royal end-of-year bonus.
