What We Do:

We are the frontend product team for a group of financial professionals & backend developers with experience in high frequency, quantitative trading. They build trading systems to stretch between all the connected exchanges (centralized and decentralized) at Uphold, while we build the interfaces for both internal stakeholders and external users. Our team aims to build a flexible, interoperable component library to compose any variety of trading interfaces - and we’re looking for detail-oriented designers & engineers to help us build this vision.

How We Do It:

By leveraging the composability JAMstack offers, we separate the backend layer into APIs and use ES6 (Node/React) to build a cohesively designed suite of scalable, discretely testable components. We also help the backend systems (Go, Python, SQL, Redis, +) to bridge the gap. Generally, we try to use whatever tool is best for the job without letting the stack grow too complicated.

Requirements:

• Have at least 5-8 years of experience in frontend engineering
• Significant professional experience in ES6/React, Redux, and CSS-in-JS
• Experience in automated testing frameworks, continuous integration, loggers/monitoring, and test-driven development
• Experience using Git & ESlint
• Effective communication skills; a positive team player
• Comfort working in an agile, fast-moving, iterative software development process
• Ability to be highly effective in a remote-first environment

Nice To Haves:

• Experience with trading systems, websockets, or streaming data
• Blockchain and cryptocurrencies knowledge/experience
