We are working with a new, fully remote market maker on prediction markets, funded by a tier 1 operator to build next-generation trading systems, leveraging huge industry IP & resources from the tier 1 operator. The founding team includes true industry veterans with a vision for the future. They are building a lean, fully remote, senior team focused on high-performance systems, pragmatic engineering, and rapid iteration.They are looking for a Head of Front End to build fast, ergonomic internal trading tools that give engineers and traders real-time visibility into exchange activity and the ability to interact directly with our systems — from monitoring live order flow to operational controls and order book interaction.Responsibilities:

Build high-performance, real-time trading UIs (blotters, order tickets, risk views, dashboards, order books).
Create interactive operational tools that let traders and engineers manage live activity (e.g., enable/disable trading, manage positions, send system commands).
Own end-to-end delivery: design front-ends and lightweight backend services (REST/WebSockets) that aggregate and stream data.
Define front-end standards (state management, testing, performance) and build reusable component libraries/design systems.
Design resilient real-time systems with strong telemetry and observability.
Partner directly with traders and engineers to translate workflows into intuitive interfaces — strong product instincts required.
Maintain high code quality through reviews, automation, and documentation.

Requirements:

5+ years building complex, data-heavy or real-time front-end applications.
Strong expertise in React and TypeScript, state management (Redux, Zustand, etc.), and testing (Jest, RTL).
Experience with WebSockets/SSE and data visualization tools (Highcharts, D3, Recharts).
Ability to build and own lightweight backend services (e.g., Python/FastAPI); not a pure front-end role.
Pragmatic UX judgment without dedicated design support.
Active use of AI coding tools as part of your daily development workflow.

Domain Experience (One of the Following):

Sports betting (markets, odds, trading/risk tooling).
Financial or prediction markets (exchange/derivatives background).
Strong independent interest demonstrated via side projects or deep self-study.

Nice to Have:

AG Grid or similar enterprise data grids.
Order book visualization and exchange mechanics.
Electron or desktop packaging experience.
