Your role in the team
- You are involved in developing the software that trades for us on the stock exchange: our in-house trading engine. The connection to the market is established. Now it's about quickly and cleanly transforming the ideas, requirements, and feedback from our traders into features and fixes.
- Your code runs in a production system with real orders, real positions, and real money, and you work across the entire stack, from the Spring Boot backend to the React interface that our trading operates on every day.
- Implementing trader ideas: Turning our traders' ideas and error reports into new features and fixes, such as new strategy components, order types like iceberg orders, or additional protection rules.
- Error analysis: Trace issues back to their root cause, as orders, positions, and P&L must always be accurate.
- Stability in live operation: clean recovery after connection outages, secure restarts and deployments, monitoring, and meaningful alerts.
- Frontend: Features in React and TypeScript, such as dashboards, strategy and order views, and settings.
- Database: Database structures and migrations with PostgreSQL and Flyway.
- Quality: Tests, code reviews, and documentation, AI-assisted but with independent judgment.
- Teamwork: Planning tasks together within the development team, dividing them sensibly, and handing them over properly.
