About The Role
The Senior Full Stack Software Engineer will be a foundational contributor within our Core Trade engineering team. You’ll be part of a dynamic, high-performing team building an ultra-high throughput, low-latency trading system and the tools required to run it, all aimed at democratizing investing globally.
We are looking for an engineer who prioritizes clarity, reusability, and reducing complexity in their approach to application architecture and feature building. You’ll be leading the charge with modern technologies and agentic engineering workflows to scale our mission-critical trading stack for hyper-scale growth. You’ll be highly autonomous and hands-on, working cross-functionally across engineering teams and collaborating directly with the business, Quants, stakeholders, and Trade Desk users.
As a Senior Engineer, you should bring clear communication, collaborative problem-solving, and a genuine drive to build resilient, high-performance systems for best-in-class trade desk applications. You will design and champion human-in-the-loop development practices to maximize team velocity without sacrificing our uncompromising standard for highly available, scalable architecture.
What You’ll Do
- Technical Leadership & Delivery: Own the technical design, architecture, and delivery of complex React/TypeScript front-end and Java back-end features from inception to production.
- Architectural Excellence: Drive architectural best practices, ensuring solutions are highly secure, scalable, and resilient.
- Mentorship: Act as a force multiplier for the team. Mentor mid-level and junior engineers, lead code reviews, and elevate the overall technical bar of the organization.
- AI-Driven Velocity: Pioneer our use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate coding, testing, and documentation, setting the standard for secure and effective AI integration in our workflows.
- Human-in-the-Loop: Architect workflows that seamlessly blend automated decision-making and high-throughput data processing with human-in-the-loop validation for our trade desks and operational teams.
- Drive Strategy: Partner horizontally with key stakeholders including Trade Desks, Quants, Product Managers, and other engineering leads to translate complex business goals into robust technical execution.
- Goal Setting: Define bold, measurable technical goals for your projects and collaborate with leadership to hit broader organizational targets.
You Bring
- 5+ years of software development experience with deep expertise in TypeScript, modern JavaScript (ES8+), Java (60% backend / 40% frontend split), React, WebSockets, or similar technologies for complex, real-time data streaming, and Browser API and standards.
- System Design and Architecture at Scale: Proven track record of designing, building, and owning highly available architectures at scale.
- AI Tooling: Strong familiarity with modern AI coding assistants and a demonstrated ability to leverage them to improve developer productivity safely.
- Testing Champion: Deep understanding of, and advocacy for, rigorous testing standards, including unit testing (React Testing Library) and E2E testing (Playwright, Cypress).
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and technical writing skills. You must be able to distill complex architectural concepts and designs into clear, understandable language for both engineering peers and business stakeholders.
- Problem Solving: A detail and results-oriented mindset with elite analytical abilities and a bias toward action.

When you’re here, you’re working directly with the people making the decisions.
To support that work, we provide competitive compensation, equity, and a 401(k) match. We also offer Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Paid Parental Leave, along with a wellness reimbursement, a company-provided phone, and a personal development allowance. Finally, we value the time you spend away from the office with generous PTO, observed holidays.

How We Think About AI
We leverage AI to work smarter and move faster. We seek AI-curious talent who are proactive about using emerging tools to increase signal quality, reduce friction, and improve outcomes to deliver products faster, provide better service to our partners, and to streamline processes. Your ability to leverage our internal tools and technology to drive results is as important to us as your core domain expertise.

We then source candidates with the requisite skills, expertise, education, training, and experience.
