Requirements:

• 5 years minimum experience and strong proficiency with TypeScript, React, UI state management (i.e. redux or similar)

• Experience on high throughput / low latency / high capacity, Multithreaded (incl. Synchronization), load balanced, highly available systems.
• Strong knowledge and understanding of FIX protocol.
• Experience with Kafka or streaming paradigms in general.
