Key Responsibilities

• Build Institutional Grade UIs: Develop and maintain complex, real-time trading dashboards using React and TypeScript within an OpenFin environment.

• Master the Data Grid: Architect and optimize high-frequency data blotters using AG Grid Enterprise, ensuring seamless performance even when handling millions of rows with sub-second updates.

• Performance Engineering: Optimize front-end rendering and memory management to ensure zero-lag interactivity for high-velocity market data.

• Collaborate & Lead: Partner with quantitative researchers and traders to translate complex financial workflows into intuitive, high-performance user experiences.

Technical Requirements

• Expert React & TypeScript: 5+ years of professional experience building enterprise-scale applications.

• AG Grid Power User: Proven experience implementing AG Grid Enterprise for complex use cases (grouping, aggregation, server-side data models, and custom cell rendering).

• OpenFin Expertise: Experience (or strong working knowledge) of the OpenFin container, including windowing, notifications, and interoperability standards (FDC3).

• Visualization Skills: Proficiency with charting libraries (e.g., D3.js, Highcharts) to visualize market trends and portfolio analytics.

• Financial Domain Knowledge: Direct experience in capital markets, wealth management, or fintech is a significant advantage. You should be familiar with blotters, order entry, and real-time execution workflows.

The Perks

• Stability with Flexibility: 6-month full-time contract with a specific strategic intent to extend long-term for high performers.

• Cutting-Edge Stack: Work with the "gold standard" of fintech tools (OpenFin, AG Grid) on a platform that moves the needle on global markets.

• Toronto Financial District: 2 days per week onsite at a premier financial hub, offering the best of hybrid flexibility and professional collaboration.

The target hiring compensation range for this role is between 75/hr to 100/hr depending on overall experience. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
