The Role:
- Design and build core systems of the charting engine — rendering primitives (layer system, hit testing, dirty-region rendering, text measurement) and domain features (drawing tools, indicator math).
- Own the framework-agnostic core library architecture, including the public API that React, React Native, and direct consumers integrate against.
- Build and maintain the React binding — the thin wrapper layer that adapts the core's public API into framework-native components, hooks, and lifecycle integration.
Key Responsibilities:
- Drive architectural decisions on canvas compositing, layer strategy, and main-thread vs. worker-thread boundaries.
- Define and uphold rendering performance standards across the engine — 60fps frame-budget discipline and pointer-interaction responsiveness under continuous data flow.
- Build the data integration layer that bridges the existing real-time data pipeline into the charting engine.
What You'll Bring:
- 8+ years of frontend engineering experience building and shipping production systems.
- Prior experience building or contributing to a production charting library, data visualization framework, or comparable interactive rendering system.
- Working knowledge of financial markets — OHLCV, tick data, and futures conventions — sufficient to make informed product and architectural trade-offs.
