🚀 Senior Front-End Engineer – Investment Banking | Contract Upto £800 p/d (Outside IR35) | London / Hybrid (1 Day/Week in Office)
We are partnering with a global investment bank to hire a Senior Front-End Engineer to join a flagship team delivering a next-generation, single-page application (SPA) platform for high-performance derivatives trading. This is a high-profile role on a mission-critical, front-office system with exceptional technical standards.
You’ll work at the cutting edge of financial technology, contributing to a modern, reactive web platform used across trading desks. This is not your typical enterprise UI – it’s fast, data-intensive, and built to scale with real-time demands in a trading environment.
💼 The Opportunity
- Collaborate with elite engineers on a SPA used across the investment bank for derivatives trading.
- Build elegant, high-performance UIs with real-time data updates and functional programming paradigms.
- Shape a front-end architecture trusted by traders, with a focus on resilience, performance, and usability.
- Leverage the latest web technologies in a fast-paced, agile development environment.
- Flexible working arrangements with only 1 day per week required in the City of London office.
