• Practical experience building sophisticated UIs in the browser. Someone who loves the detailed polishing that’s needed to build elegant and highly usable UIs
• An interest in and appreciation of typed functional programming as an approach to UI construction. Experience with languages like Elm, ReasonML, Purescript, and Typescript is a plus (OCaml experience is useful, but not expected).

The role will provide opportunities to work in multiple parts of the stack, including front-ends, back-ends, middleware, and databases. The job will also involve working closely with traders and other end-users to better understand their needs.
