Front End Software Engineer

At this position, you will be building React-based widgets for existing data models. Down the road, you will also focus on implementing data models as well. You’ll be working with React MUI library, as well as occasionally HighCharts.

Requirements:

  • At least 3 years of experience working with React.js
    • Understanding of how the React component lifecycle works.
    • Experience using React Hooks work
    • Understanding of React as just another framework, and not a pillar of the universe.
  • Understanding the idea of the Observer pattern. Having practical experience of using some of the implementations.
  • Strong understanding of the general principles of Object Oriented Programming (encapsulating the complexity, etc.)

We work as a close-knit team, which means that other human beings will need to be able to read your code. Thus, we have the following additional requirements:

  • Your code should be as easy to understand as possible. For example, your identifiers should have meaningful names. You must leave comments and notes in your code.
  • Styles you write (be it SASS, LESS or CSS) should be as clean as your code is. No useless styles or meaningless selectors.
  • Understanding and following the principle of “least surprise” development.
  • Ability to work within an Agile Development structure.

The following qualifications are “nice to have” and count for bonus points.

  • Experience working with React MUI (v.5 preferred)
  • Experience working with HighCharts.
  • Experience using Angular.JS or Angular
  • Experience using React Context API

  3. What does the word ‘abstraction’ mean to you? Why do abstractions matter when you write code?
  4. Imagine a project with a front-end powered by pure jQuery (that’s not us, but anyways). Why do you think would the developers of the project choose this route?
  5. We are currently using Angular 1. Would you suggest that we migrate to Angular 5? Or maybe React? Why?

We’re going to add a new method, like String.prototype.unzip(), which treats content of this string as base64-encoded ZIP file, then unpacks it and returns the result. What are your thoughts about that? What approach would you suggest? What questions would you ask?
  9. What kind of experience do you have with trading? What kind of experience with technical analysis?
  10. Do you trade for yourself? If so, what is your trading style? What kind of indicators or analysis techniques do you use and why?
