This is not a legacy maintenance or support role — you’ll be part of the core product team, building highly-performant frontends used across the firm.

A successful candidate will be a very strong frontend programmer with current TypeScript development experience. They must also be curious, open-minded, and desire to learn new things. English proficiency is a must.
This role is for developers who are good at programming, and not merely applying learned techniques. We’re looking for people who understand how things work and are not merely practitioners or technicians. If you’re fascinated by understanding systems ‘under the hood,’ this role is for you. Successful candidates enjoy geeking out on the internals and debugging application performance issues.
This is a fully remote frontend React development role for a developer in Poland. You will be working through a Polish company that will provide the support and administrative assistance to make you successful in the role. We are looking for people to join the team long-term.
To ensure efficient onboarding, you’ll work in sync with the American team during US Eastern business hours for the first two months. Working this way maximizes your time overlap for answering questions, which means you can learn quickly. That means working until 21:00 CET. After you demonstrate that you can work independently, you’ll have flexibility to shift closer to standard Polish business hours.
Only open to residents of Poland. Polish citizens, as well as legal residents with permission to work in Poland are welcome.
Role & Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain desktop applications written in React in JavaScript and TypeScript using the OpenFin framework.
- Ensure high performance and reliability by writing well-structured code.

- Participate in team discussions and contribute to architectural decisions for improving system scalability and maintainability.
What We’re Looking For
Must-Haves

- Ability to follow and understand technical conversations.
- Humility to ask questions where necessary.
- Ability to align your working schedule to US Eastern business hours during onboarding.
Nice-to-Haves
- Exposure to backend Java (reading backend code occasionally required).
- Experience developing with OpenFin, Electron, or similar desktop runtimes.
- Financial market experience.
- A computer science degree from a top Polish technical university.
