Front Office Full Stack Engineer (Java / React) – Equity Derivatives

Description

We are seeking experienced Full Stack Engineers with a strong background in Java and React, and deep exposure to Equity Derivatives products, to build bespoke, business-critical trading and structuring solutions.

This is a front-office aligned role, with engineers embedded directly on the trading floor, working side-by-side with traders and quants to deliver low-latency, high-impact systems across both flow and structured/exotic derivatives.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy operating close to the business, taking ownership of features across the full technology stack, and contributing in a fast-paced, iterative front-office environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop bespoke front-office applications supporting Equity Derivatives trading and structuring.
• Deliver full-stack functionality, including backend services and APIs, event-driven components, and real-time user interfaces for traders.
• Work closely with traders, quants, and fellow technologists to translate trading requirements into robust production solutions.
• Contribute to scalable, low-latency architectures supporting flow and structured/exotic derivatives.
• Own features from design through deployment and production support.
• Operate effectively in a trading-floor environment, responding quickly to feedback and change.

Key Skills and Experience

• Strong full-stack engineering background.
• 5+ years’ experience in a strongly typed language such as Java or C#.
• Commercial experience with React building complex, data-driven UIs.
• Around 1+ year of professional Python experience in addition to a Java/C# background.
• Experience building and supporting production-grade systems in demanding environments.
• Comfortable working as a polyglot engineer and owning features end to end.

Note: This role favors engineers with a strong enterprise language foundation in Java/C# combined with Python, rather than Python-only profiles.
