Validus is looking for a talented mid-level engineer to join our frontend development team. The frontend team is responsible for the design and development of our web applications implemented in React.

The frontend development team is part of the broader technology team working in collaboration with quants, backend and platform engineers. Our teams work together to grow our technology platform, Horizon. Horizon comprises multiple applications for trade execution, portfolio management and risk analysis for alternative asset managers in various domains, such as private equity, private debt and real estate.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver new features to a high standard with meaningful test coverage for Validus applications including the order management system and the risk management system.
• Collaborate with backend, quant, and platform teams to integrate features and resolve issues across the stack.
• Participate in code reviews, supporting more junior colleagues and learning from experienced engineers to continually improve technical skills.
• Contribute to UI/UX improvements across the Horizon platform to improve ease-of-use, and uphold consistency in our design principles.
• Participate in agile ceremonies, such as daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, estimation, and retrospectives.
• Contribute ideas to improve the frontend technology stack, working alongside senior engineers to implement new technologies.
• Support development and maintenance of features that use real-time data communication (e.g. via WebSockets).
• Work within our Nx-based frontend monorepo to implement new functionality and maintain existing components.
• Utilise Zustand and TanStack Query for state and data management, and React Router for routing.
• Work on real-time data components, such as market data in graphs using HighCharts, to keep users up to-date.
• Use HandsOnTable to display large amounts of data, whilst improving performance to give the user an "excel" like feel within the browser.
