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. This is where you come in.

The position

You have my curiosity

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. This is where you come in.

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 to 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 with React at its core. As well as designing fully responsive web applications for the Engineers, Traders and Business Support teams. You will create smooth, modern, and future-proof front-ends for a wide range of our proprietary systems and applications. The landscape is always changing, creating new and exciting challenges. Your impact will be felt, and seen, throughout our entire organization.

Candidate profile

Now you have my attention

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 developing front-end applications with either React or Angular, or Vue. Strong development skills in TypeScript will also definitely come in handy. If you have experience working with Python or Node would be great as well, 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

So this trading thing, what does it pay?

Pretty damn well, to be honest. Starting with a base salary between €80.000 and €105.000 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. You know I said speed was key? What are you waiting for? Click apply!
