Overview of team:

The UI development team collaborates with various internal teams including Trading desks, Credit risk, and Sales. We concentrate on enhancing trading interfaces, implementing risk controls, and developing alerting systems. Comprising a small but experienced team with extensive technical expertise in financial services, we exclusively use React for front-end development. All new front-end code is scripted in Typescript, while microservice backends are coded in Node.js and Go, then deployed on AWS using Kubernetes. We prioritize code quality, recognizing that our decisions can significantly impact the firm's security. Given that we often present large datasets to traders that require frequent updates, the need for performant code cannot be understated.

• Contributing to the team Wiki to ensure key information is accessible to non-technical audiences as needed.
