Strong commercial experience with TypeScript, ES6, HTML5, and advanced CSS.
Proven delivery of performance-critical SPAs, ideally within front-office trading or other high-frequency environments.
Proficiency with functional and reactive programming using immutable data structures.
Attention to UI/UX detail – you take pride in building intuitive, beautiful products.
Comfortable working in collaborative, high-performance teams.
Confident daily use of LLMs and agent-mode AI tools to accelerate development and enhance workflow.
🌟 Nice to Have
RxJS experience (a big plus).
Familiarity with Angular + NgRx or React + Redux.
Full stack experience using a typed backend language like Java, C#, or F#.
