Description

Validus is looking for a talented engineer to join our front-end development team. The front-end team is responsible for the design and development of our web applications implemented in React. The front-end development team is part of the broader technology team working in collaboration with quants, back-end and platform engineers. Our teams work together to grow our technology platform, Horizon. Horizon comprises multiple applications for trade execution, portfolio management and risk analysis for alternative asset managers in various domains, such as private equity, private debt and real estate. We work with AI tooling as a normal part of how we build, and we are looking for someone who has a keen interest on how to incorporate new tools and ways of working into our development workflow. Key Responsibilities Deliver new features to a high standard with meaningful test coverage for Validus applications including the order management system and the risk management system. Work collaboratively with other teams on features spanning multiple parts of the stack. Give useful, thorough code reviews and pair with others across the team. Look to improve UI and UX across our product range to improve ease-of-use, and uphold consistency in our design principles. Participate in agile ceremonies, such as daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, estimation, and retrospectives. Bring ideas on the current technology stack and be part of the conversations about changing it, such as state management or how we manage our API calls. Help lay the technical foundations of real-time communication between back-end and front-end using WebSockets. Build on, and improve our implementation of Nx as a Front-end monorepo, built with Vite. Utilise Zustand and React Query (TanStack) for state and data management, and React Router for routing. Work on real-time data components, such as market data in graphs using HighCharts, to keep users up to-date. Use HandsOnTable to display large amounts of data, whilst improving performance to give the user an “excel” like feel within the browser. Use front-end monitoring and session replay to understand how features behave for real users, and to get to the bottom of reported issues. Working with AI Use AI tooling as part of your normal working day, and take full ownership of everything it produces. Review it properly, understand it, and be able to defend it in a code review. Think in terms of workflows rather than single prompts. That means investing
