Job Description

CTC is a cutting-edge proprietary trading firm with a long-term vision and a clear focus on helping the world price and manage risk. Our fun and trusting culture inspires us to solve the industry’s most challenging problems and take calculated risks in a collaborative environment.

We strive to be the most innovative firm in the industry today, tomorrow, and long into the future while upholding ethical excellence. We believe that CTC makes a positive impact on the markets, the lives of our employees, and all the communities to which we belong. Started in 1995 by a team of forward-thinking Traders, we are proud to call ourselves an industry leader that keeps making markets and each other better.

As an Engineer on our UI Frameworks team, you will have the chance to make a direct impact on our market presence and the overall efficiency of our firm. Your expertise will not only influence the strategic direction of our UI offerings, but also empower our traders with intuitive, high-quality web-based UIs. Your contributions will be critical to improve our understanding of market events, fine-tune trading models, and visualize real-time information. You will design and implement high-quality, scalable, and stable UIs that enable traders to visualize the market and make informed trading decisions.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with trading and engineering teams to understand business UI requirements
  • Design scalable solutions to solve the firm’s visibility needs
  • Implement testable, reusable, and scalable UI solutions
  • Integrate new web frameworks and technologies into our core offerings
  • Partner with data engineering teams to build real-time data UIs

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years experience building real-time web-based UIs in Typescript or Javascript
  • 3 years experience in back-end Java 
  • Experience supporting real-time, data-intensive systems (trading, gaming, A/V, etc.)
  • Proficiency with web based UI frameworks, such as Angular or React
  • Experience building modular, extendable, distributed systems
  • Experience with real-time distributed messaging systems (Kafka, Hazelcast, etc.) is a plus

Most teams at CTC, with the exception of Trading, follow a hybrid workplace model, subject to change based on business need.

Our Benefits 

We strongly believe in the well-being of our employees and their families so we offer outstanding benefits to support you both professionally and personally. These benefits include generous medical coverage, paid parental leave, free breakfast and lunch (plus healthy snacks, of course), wellness reimbursement, quarterly recharge days, and a variety of other benefits focused on providing the best employee experience. 

(Disclaimer: Interns and Contractors are not eligible for benefits at CTC)
