Job Description:
The Financial Risk Management (FRM) team ensures the integrity of our platform through real-time monitoring and complex data visualization. We are looking for a high-velocity Frontend Engineer who embraces the future of software engineering. You arent just a coder; you are a product architect who leverages AI development tools and low-code prototypes to deliver enterprise-grade interfaces at record speed.
The Role: Architecting at the Speed of AI
You will own the frontend lifecycle for our compliance tools. This means moving fluidly between Figma designs Lovable prototypes and a production-grade React codebase using Cursor to maintain high standards of code quality and system architecture.
Key Responsibilities
AI-Driven Development: Lead the team in leveraging Cursor and GitHub Copilot to accelerate feature delivery refactoring legacy code and automating boilerplate.
Figma-to-Product Execution: Translate high-fidelity Figma designs into pixel-perfect React components. You should be adept at using AI-assisted tools to bridge the gap between design and clean production code.
Rapid Prototyping: Utilize Lovable or to quickly iterate on internal tools and dashboards then harden those prototypes into scalable secure and performant React architectures.
Real-Time FRM Systems: Architect low-latency features (WebSockets/gRPC-web) to handle live risk-data updates ensuring the UI remains responsive under high data load.
State Management Mastery: Manage complex asynchronous workflows using Redux Sagas for sophisticated side effects while implementing TanStack Query for modern server-state synchronization.
Performance Engineering: Ensure frequent real-time updates do not trigger unnecessary re-renders maintaining a 60fps feel even when handling massive datasets.
Required Qualifications
7 Years of Professional Experience: A deep background in frontend engineering with a recent pivot toward AI-augmented workflows.
AI Tooling Mastery: Proficiency with VSCode Cursor (indexing composer and chat) and a design-to-code workflow that includes tools like Lovable.
Design Fluency: Expert-level knowledge of Figma. You understand auto-layouts design tokens and how to maintain UI consistency.
React & TypeScript Mastery: Deep understanding of React 19 patterns (Server Components Hooks Suspense) and strictly typed architectures.
Real-Time Expertise: Proven experience building dynamic dashboards (e.g. live tracking financial tickers or risk alerts).
Modern State Strategy: Expert implementation of TanStack Query for caching and Redux/Zustand for complex global state.
The Tech Stack
Core: React (hooks-based) TypeScript (Clients Framework).
AI Tools: Cursor Lovable GitHub Copilot Claude .
State: Redux Sagas TanStack Query Zustand Context API hooks.
