UI/UX Developer – Trading Tools
Location: Singapore / Hong Kong (flexible)
My client is a leading quantitative trading firm building high-performance systems that operate in real-time global markets. They are seeking a product-minded UI/UX Developer to design and build mission-critical internal tools used directly by traders and operators.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and trading, with a strong focus on delivering intuitive, high-performance interfaces for real-time decision-making.
The Opportunity
You will work closely with traders and business stakeholders to design and build real-time trading tools, delivering solutions in fast, iterative cycles. The environment is highly dynamic, with a strong emphasis on ownership, speed, and practical problem-solving.
Key responsibilities include:
- Building high-performance front-end applications for real-time trading workflows
- Partnering directly with traders and operators to translate ambiguous requirements into working products
- Delivering features in fast, feedback-driven iterations rather than long release cycles
- Designing systems with a platform mindset, enabling reusable components and extensible workflows
- Contributing across the stack where needed, including API design and backend integration
- Troubleshooting and resolving production issues in real-time environments
- Continuously improving performance, usability, and system reliability
What They're Looking For
- 4+ years of experience in frontend development (TypeScript, React, HTML/CSS)
- Strong experience building data-heavy or real-time applications
- Proven ability to work directly with stakeholders and own product delivery end-to-end
- Experience operating in fast-paced, iterative environments (e.g. fintech, trading, startups)
- Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance optimisation, and system design
- Exposure to backend development (e.g. Python, Golang) is advantageous
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work across technical and business teams
What Sets This Role Apart
- Direct impact on trading performance and decision-making workflows
- High level of ownership and autonomy, with the ability to shape product direction
- Opportunity to build tools that evolve from ad hoc solutions into scalable platforms
- Work in a high-calibre, technically driven environment solving real-world problems under pressure
Ideal Profile
- Product-minded engineer who enjoys building tools that users rely on daily
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity, bringing structure and momentum
- Strong sense of ownership, with the ability to move from idea to production quickly
- Balances speed of delivery with long-term system design and reuse
