About the Role
<p><strong>Position Overview: </strong></p>
<p>We’re looking for a<strong> </strong>Junior UX/UI Engineer<strong> </strong>- a hybrid creative technologist who combines strong design skills with a solid technical foundation in front-end development.</p>
<p>In this role you will be working 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.</p>
<p>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, iterating based on business feedback and technical constraints, through to QA before release — all within a fast‑moving financial technology environment.</p>
