London, Greater London, United Kingdom Clear Street Full time

Clear Street is a pioneering financial services firm that has revolutionized the legacy infrastructure used in capital markets. Founded in 2018, our company started from scratch by designing a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system tailored for today's complex, global market.

We have developed a proprietary prime brokerage platform that significantly enhances market efficiency while focusing on minimizing risk, redundancy, and cost for clients. Our goal is to create a single source-of-truth platform for every asset class, in every country, and in any currency.

To achieve this vision, we combine highly skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals. As an experienced Senior Front-end Software Engineer at Clear Street, you will play a crucial role in building our flagship Clear Street Studio, a modern prime brokerage experience.

This challenging role involves engineering the next generation of our state-of-the-art Studio platform for a diverse client base including hedge funds, traders, and portfolio managers. You will sharpen your front-end skills by working on some of the most complex problems available and collaborating with a team of engineers to write software 'as one'.

As a member of our Trade Processing Middle Office Engineering Team, you will contribute to the design and development of our institutional multi-broker/multi-prime post-trade processing platform. You will work closely with fellow engineers, product managers, and business users in an agile/iterative environment.

We utilize a cutting-edge tech stack that includes React, Typescript, Python, RDBMS and NoSQL, gRPC, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS. To succeed in this role, you should have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field and at least 7 years of professional experience utilizing React, Typescript, RDBMS, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), microservice-based server-side application development.

We offer competitive compensation packages, company equity, pension, gender-neutral parental leave, and full medical and dental insurance. We require employees to be in the office a minimum of three days per week.
