Staff Frontend Engineer - Trading Platform (Europe)

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 the senior technical owner of GoCharting's web terminal, working hands-on in the code every week. The role is full-time and remote from Europe, reports to the Director of Client Engineering, and works with engineers in India and Europe, with working hours that overlap the Chennai team. This is an immediate need. It is an individual contributor role: you write and review code rather than manage people. At 3 to 6 months, you should own the terminal architecture and code review alongside engineering leadership, and the main charting and real-time features should ship through your reviews.

What you'll do

• Co-own the terminal codebase — architecture, code review and releases for the web terminal and the charting SDK
• Set the technical bar — define patterns, review the hardest changes and raise code quality across the team
• Build the hardest features — take on the most complex terminal and charting work yourself
• Keep the terminal fast and stable — protect performance under live market data and busy charts
• Mentor engineers — coach the terminal and mobile engineers through reviews and design sessions
• Plan with the Director of Client Engineering — turn delivery dates into a technical plan and flag risk early

What we're looking for

Must-haves:

• 8+ years building production web applications in React and TypeScript
• Has owned the architecture of a large front-end codebase in production
• Has built real-time or data-dense web UIs, such as charting, trading or live-data screens (any one counts)
• Writes and reviews production code every week
• Has mentored or technically led other engineers, with or without formal line management
• 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:

• Canvas, SVG or WebGL rendering for charts (adds depth on the charting engine)
• A charting SDK or developer-facing library (adds depth on the SDK)
• Browser performance profiling of long-lived sessions (adds the ability to find slowdowns)
• Trading platform, brokerage or market-data work (adds speed in learning our domain)
• Large monorepo and CI/CD experience (adds ease with our build and release setup)
