Director of Client Engineering - Trading Platform (Europe, Remote)

About GoCharting

GoCharting is a web-native charting and trading platform. Traders use professional orderflow tools — footprint charts, volume and market profile, cumulative delta, DOM trading — to read the market and place orders through their broker, all in the browser. Our users are active traders in India, the US and around the world.

The Role

You will be accountable for what GoCharting's web terminal, mobile apps and website ship, when they ship and how reliably they work. The role is full-time and remote from Europe, reports to the Chief Executive Officer, and leads a team across India and Europe, with working hours that overlap the Chennai team. This is an immediate need. It is a leadership role: you direct the team and review its work rather than carry a feature queue. Client engineering needs one accountable owner for delivery, standards and staffing, and you are that owner. At 3 to 6 months, releases should ship on the dates committed and pass a release gate that you own, and you should have the senior engineers and the QA lead in place.

What you'll do

• Own delivery — commit dates for the terminal, mobile apps and website with the Head of Product, and answer for hitting them
• Set and enforce engineering standards — branching, code review, CI/CD and the release gate, applied the same way to every engineer; the QA lead reports to you
• Build the team — hire, develop and structure engineering managers, a staff engineer, terminal and mobile engineers and the QA lead
• Raise technical quality — make the architecture decisions for the web terminal and mobile apps, and review the hardest designs yourself
• Manage managers — set goals, review performance and coach the engineering managers who report to you
• Report on delivery and quality — publish a regular view of delivery dates, defects and release health to the executive team

What we're looking for

Must-haves:

• 12+ years in software engineering on production web or mobile products
• Has led an engineering organization of 10 or more engineers
• Has managed engineering managers, not only individual contributors
• Has owned release and quality standards for a production product: branching, code review, CI/CD and a release gate
• Has led engineering for a trading, brokerage, fintech or market-data product (any one counts)
• Based in Europe, in a UK or EU time zone, with at least 4 hours of working-day overlap with 09:00–18:00 IST

Nice-to-haves:

• Real-time or data-dense web applications, such as charting or WebSocket-driven UIs (adds the ability to judge terminal architecture)
• Mobile app delivery to the App Store and Google Play (adds oversight of mobile releases)
• Leading teams split across India and Europe or the US (adds ease with our time zones)
• Setting up QA automation and release gating from scratch (adds speed on the release gate)
• A charting SDK or developer-facing library (adds depth on the charting platform)
