Role details
Position Overview
We’re looking for a Junior UX/UI Engineer — a hybrid creative technologist who combines strong design skills with a solid technical foundation in front-end development.
You will work closely with the team to create intuitive experiences for our web-based trading and enterprise platforms. You’ll help bring complex, data-rich interfaces to life in Figma and React. Your coding expertise will enable you to collaborate seamlessly with engineers, design with technical constraints in mind, and contribute to front-end development when needed.
This is a fantastic opportunity to develop into a well-rounded UX/UI Engineer — deepening your UX/UI design expertise while building on your technical engineering skills. You’ll gain exposure to the full end-to-end product development process, from translating ideas into polished deliverables and iterating based on business feedback and technical constraints, through QA before release — all within a fast-moving financial technology environment.
Key Responsibilities

- Contribute to the frontend codebase in React, translating designs into production-ready code
- Partner with developers, product managers, analysts, and trading teams to refine designs and solve user problems
- Apply UX principles while balancing technical feasibility, accessibility, performance, and delivery timelines
- Contribute to and help maintain our design system components
- Conduct QA testing on implemented designs to ensure they meet functional, visual, and usability requirements
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in design, Computer Science, HCI, or related field
- Working experience in Figma, with a portfolio showcasing the process of designing and implementing web applications
- Working experience in React, understanding of web development technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML, CSS)
- Familiarity with accessibility, usability, and best UX practices
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
- Ability to manage tasks independently and handle multiple projects
Why Join Us
- Direct mentorship from a UX/UI Designer with a hybrid Design + Engineering background
- Build expertise in both interface design and front-end engineering
- Work on high-impact applications used in a global trading environment
- Join a collaborative, technology-driven organization with career flexibility
