Validus is looking for a talented junior engineer to join our frontend development team. The frontend team is responsible for the design and development of our web applications implemented in React.

The frontend development team is part of the broader technology team working in collaboration with quants, backend and platform engineers. Our teams work together to grow our technology platform, Horizon. Horizon comprises multiple applications for trade execution, portfolio management and risk analysis for alternative asset managers in various domains, such as private equity, private debt and real estate.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Participate in agile ceremonies, such as daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, estimation, and retrospectives
  • Learn about our technology stack and contribute ideas for improvements as you gain experience
  • Support development and maintenance of features that use real-time data communication (e.g. via WebSockets)
  • Work within our Nx-based frontend monorepo to implement new functionality and maintain existing components
  • Utilise Zustand and TanStack Query for state and data management, and React Router for routing
  • Support development of data visualisation components (e.g. charts using HighCharts) to display real-time information
  • Use HandsOnTable to display large amounts of data, whilst improving performance to give the user an "excel" like feel within the browser

Requirements

  • TypeScript knowledge
  • Understanding of React with some practical/commercial experience
  • Exposure to state management libraries, such as Zustand or Redux
  • Exposure to testing frameworks like Vitest and Playwright
  • Basic understanding of APIs (REST or GraphQL) and how to use them in web applications
  • Familiarity with CSS and a willingness to learn styling techniques and best practices
  • Good communication skills working in a cross-discipline environment
