Staff/Senior Software Engineer – Real-Time GPU Visualization

Are you looking to work on front-end systems that operate at a level most engineers never encounter?

We are hiring on behalf of a world-class quantitative trading firm for a Staff or Senior Software Engineer to build real-time, GPU-accelerated visualisation systems for live trading. This is not a typical front-end role. The performance bar here is closer to game engine or GPU rendering work than standard web development, and the systems you build will be used by some of the best trading teams in the world.

What you will be working on

• Building real-time data visualisation systems using WebGPU that render complex, high-frequency market data at speeds that push the boundaries of what browsers can do
• Optimising rendering pipelines, memory usage, and frame latency under extremely heavy, constantly updating data loads
• Working at the intersection of web performance and GPU systems, going deep on browser internals, graphics pipelines, and low-level rendering techniques
• Collaborating directly with world-class quants, traders, and engineers on some of the most performance-critical front-end systems anywhere in industry
• Seeing your optimisations have immediate, measurable impact in live markets

What we are looking for

• 5 plus years of experience building high-performance GUI or web applications
• Hands-on experience with WebGPU, WebGL, WebAssembly, or equivalent graphics technologies
• Deep understanding of low-level rendering pipelines and rendering techniques
• Strong experience with React and modern web application architecture
• A track record of building real-time, data-intensive applications under heavy load
• C++ or Rust experience is a strong plus
• Low ego, collaborative approach with the ability to take full technical ownership

Why this is different

• One of the most performance-critical front-end roles in the industry
• Direct collaboration with world-class engineers and researchers in a flat, engineering-first culture
• Real ownership over architecture and technical direction
• Immediate and visible impact on live trading outcomes
• Exceptional compensation reflecting the calibre of the work and the team

If you are the kind of engineer who wants to push the limits of what is possible in real-time web systems, this is the role where you can do the best work of your career.

Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this role is $150,000 to $300,000 per year. Total compensation, including performance-based bonus, is expected to range from $300,000 to $800,000 depending on experience, level, and individual performance. Final compensation will be determined based on a number of factors including skills, experience, and interview performance.
