Senior Software Engineer | Data Visualisation & Graphics | London
London (Hybrid)
Salary up to £200,000 + benefits
Most engineers consume visualisation libraries.
A small number build them.
We’re working with a highly successful software company whose charting technology powers applications used by thousands of organisations worldwide, from global financial institutions to technology businesses and enterprise software providers.
As adoption continues to grow, they’re looking for a software engineer to help build the rendering systems, charting components, and visualisation infrastructure that sit at the heart of the product.
This is not a dashboard-building role. You’ll be working on the underlying systems that make complex visualisations fast, accurate, and scalable.
The challenges range from rendering performance and interaction design through to algorithms, graphics, API design, and numerical correctness.
What you’ll be doing
- Designing and building core charting features used by developers around the world
- Working across rendering, interaction, animation, and visualisation infrastructure
- Solving performance-critical problems involving Canvas, SVG, and large datasets
- Improving correctness, precision, and usability across a sophisticated charting platform
- Designing APIs that are elegant, flexible, and easy for developers to adopt
- Taking features from initial concept through to production release
- Collaborating with a small team of highly experienced engineers building a market-leading product
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.
What they’re looking for
- Strong JavaScript or TypeScript engineering skills
- Experience working with Canvas, SVG, WebGL, graphics systems, visualisation products, or rendering pipelines
- Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software architecture
- Experience building complex software products rather than purely application-layer development
- Exposure to languages such as C++, Java, C#, Rust, Go, or similar
- Understanding of performance optimisation and rendering trade-offs
- Appreciation of the mathematical concepts underpinning data visualisation and graphics
- Passion for engineering quality and technical excellence
