Qualifications

• Solid years building web applications with TypeScript and React; 3+ years in a senior/lead role.
• WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, WebRTC or other high performance bidirectional data streaming experience.
• GraphQL, Protobuf, Flatbuffers or other schema-driven API design tools.
• Strong RxJS (or equivalent observables experience) and reactive architecture in production systems.
• Proven experience with real time UIs (market data streams, pricing, RFQ/execution, dashboards) and low latency rendering.
• Deep knowledge of state management (RxJS, or React Query + custom streams) and data flow patterns for streaming + request/response.
• Testing: Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright; strong mock/contract testing.
• Security: XSS mitigation, CSP, auth flows (OAuth), secure storage, anti phishing UX.

• Design and implement modular, testable, and reusable components and design system primitives aligned to accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA+).
• Drive performance engineering: rendering optimization, virtualization for large grids/blotters, memoization, Suspense/Concurrent features, and profiling.
• Champion resilience: graceful degradation, offline/slow network fallbacks, retry/backoff for streaming and REST, circuit breaker patterns at the UI edge.
• Enforce automated testing (unit, integration, and UI E2E) and CI/CD with quality gates.
• Instrument analytics, logging, and front end observability (e.g., Web Vitals, error tracking).
• Ensure secure front end practices (XSS/CSRF protection, content security policy, secrets handling, auth flows with OAuth/OIDC/JWT).
