Frontend Developer

Technologists at WorldQuant research, design, code, test and deploy firmwide platforms and tooling while working collaboratively with researchers. Our environment is relaxed yet intellectually driven. We seek people who think in code and are motivated by being around like-minded people.

The Role:

We’re looking for a Frontend Developer who pairs deep technical skill with a product-first mindset and the ability to harness AI to move faster. You’ll build the web applications that power our products and internal tools – owning what you ship from idea to production. The engineers we want stand out in four ways:

• High Ownership – You own what you build, from first commit to production.
• Product Mindset – You think beyond the ticket about why you’re building and who it’s for.
• Self-Learner – You’re curious and ramp up fast on new tech.
• AI-Fluent – You use AI coding tools daily as a force multiplier.

What You’ll Do:

• Own features end-to-end – make product decisions, anticipate edge cases, and follow through to delivery.
• Build and maintain web applications with intuitive, performant user interfaces.
• Write well-designed, testable, maintainable code with clear documentation.

What You’ll Bring:

• At least 5 years of demonstrated experience developing scalable and robust software web applications
• Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript with hands-on React.js experience (required), experience with other frameworks (Vue, Angular, etc.) is a plus.
• Experience with Python and web frameworks (Flask, FastAPI, etc.) is a plus.
• Solid UI/UX fundamentals — responsive, accessible, cross-browser interfaces.
• Solid grasp of algorithms, data structures, and debugging.
• Experience with testing frameworks — unit testing and integration/E2E testing.
• Experience with CI/CD, Git, and Unix/Linux.
• Practical understanding of SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
• Clear communicator who thrives in a collaborative team.
• Proficiency in English; CS/Engineering degree or equivalent experience — finance experience not required.

What We Offer:

• Competitive and attractive compensation package with clear career road-map – where you feel challenged everyday
• We offer a strong culture of learning and development: training courses, library, speakers, share and learn events
• Learn from who sits next to you! Working in WQ you are surrounded by smart and talented people
• Premium Health Insurance and Employee Assistance Program
• Generous time-off policy, re-creation sabbatical leave (based on tenure), Trade Union benefits for staff and family
• Team building activities every month: Local engagement events – Employee clubs: football, ping-pong, badminton, yoga, running, PS5, movies, etc.
