Full Stack Software Engineer — Node.js - React.js - JavaScript - London
A leading equities brokerage is rebuilding its core trading platform end-to-end — front and back — and needs an engineer who understands that a system handling billions of dollars in daily flow is not a standard web application. This is a hands-on role embedded in a high-calibre engineering team whose work is used by front-office traders across London, Chicago, and Hong Kong in real time.
You will work across the full stack — building the React interfaces traders rely on and the Node.js services that power them — solving performance, data throughput, and UX challenges that most engineers never encounter, working directly with the trading desk.
What the Full Stack Software Engineer will be doing:
- Design and build high-performance React UIs for real-time equities data — low latency, high data throughput, browser-rendering optimisation
- Design and build the Node.js services and APIs that feed those interfaces, handling high-volume, real-time market data
- Develop and maintain JavaScript libraries and services tailored for demanding financial data display and processing
- Collaborate closely with front-office stakeholders and other engineers to translate trading workflows into robust, intuitive, end-to-end solutions
- Own the quality and architecture of both frontend and backend codebases — with genuine influence over technical direction
- Work within a distributed team across three global offices, with day-to-day presence in London
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements for the Full Stack Software Engineer:
- 4+ years of commercial full stack engineering experience, with a strong JavaScript foundation across the stack.
- React expertise — you write clean, performant component architecture and know when not to use the framework.
- Solid, hands-on Node.js experience — building and running real backend services, not just tooling or scripting.
- Proven ability building robust, high-volume applications (frontend and backend) under real-world performance constraints.
- Exposure to financial services, trading systems, or similarly demanding real-time data environments is a genuine advantage — not a requirement, but it will set you apart.
- Strong communicator comfortable working across engineering, product, and trading desk stakeholders
