The technology stack includes React 19 with TypeScript on Next.js, Jotai, Tailwind, TradingView Advanced Charts, and WebSocket integration, with plans for native mobile app development.
Challenges
As part of the team, you will tackle technical challenges such as ensuring real-time data freshness, optimizing performance for data-heavy displays, maintaining robust security practices, managing shipping volumes, and maintaining consistency across web and mobile platforms while enhancing execution quality.
Responsibilities
Your key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining the JTX client for both web and mobile, implementing real-time trading interfaces, managing market data streams efficiently, designing and integrating wallet processes, shaping the foundational components of the platform, and driving architectural decisions to accommodate growth in both codebase and user base.
Qualifications
We are looking for candidates with meticulous attention to detail, a minimum of 5 years' experience in frontend development, expertise in React and TypeScript, mobile development proficiency, strong fundamentals in browser performance, security-oriented mindset, ability to effectively refactor live codebases, and a knack for balancing business and engineering priorities.
