As a Senior Front End Engineer on our trading and investing teams, you'll own meaningful slices of the experiences at the heart of Canada's first zero-commission brokerage. This is a pipeline role across several frontend-focused teams, including Order Execution and Options Trading. You'll bring strong technical judgment, a bias toward action, and a deep sense of ownership, working closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to turn complex, high-stakes problems into simple, reliable trading experiences.
What you'll do:
- Own complex, end-to-end frontend projects across the trading experience - from technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration.
- Build and improve the client-facing surfaces that power our order flow and trading products, focusing on reliability, performance, and correctness.
- Work on high-stakes client journeys: order entry and execution, options trading, real-time market data, and portfolio experiences across equities, options, and crypto.
- Make thoughtful architectural decisions and help the team balance speed, quality, and scale.
- Partner closely with Product and Design to clarify goals, surface trade-offs, and deliver outcomes.
- Build with the reliability and observability standards that trading journeys demand.
- Leverage AI-centric workflows to ship faster and safer.
- Raise the technical bar through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, pairing, and mentorship.
What you bring:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production-grade systems.
- Strong frontend fundamentals with React and TypeScript, and ideally React Native.
- Native mobile experience (Swift/iOS or Kotlin/Android) is a strong plus.
- An AI-first development workflow that doesn't compromise on rigour.
- Product judgment and a maker-owner mindset.
- Technical leadership and strong communication.
Nice to have experience:
- Experience building trading, brokerage, or other real-time, high-reliability financial surfaces.
- GraphQL and performance optimization experience.
- Ruby on Rails, Kotlin, or Java experience.
- Experience in a fast-moving environment where engineers have broad ownership.
- Passionate about trading and investing.

- Top-tier health benefits and life insurance.
- Long-term group savings with employer match.
- 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year.
- Employee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS.
