Front-End Engineer - Trading Platform (India, Chennai)

About GoCharting

GoCharting is a web-native charting and trading platform. Traders use professional orderflow tools — footprint charts, volume and market profile, cumulative delta, DOM trading — to read the market and place orders through their broker, all in the browser. Our users are active traders in India, the US and around the world.

The Role

You will build and ship features in GoCharting's web trading terminal, writing the code yourself from ticket to production. The role is full-time and in person in our Chennai office, and it reports to the Engineering Manager for Client Engineering. You will take well-scoped features and fixes raised by active traders and own them through review and release. At 12 months, you should be the engineer the team trusts with a feature area of the terminal, shipping steadily without close supervision.

What you'll do

• Ship terminal features end to end — build the feature in React and TypeScript, get it through code review and QA, and release it to traders
• Fix defects reported by traders — find the cause, fix it properly and add a test so it stays fixed
• Keep the terminal fast — profile slow screens, busy charts and long lists, and remove the cause of the slowdown
• Work with product and design — turn a written spec and a design into working UI, and raise gaps in the spec early
• Write clear pull requests — say what changed, why, and what could break
• Learn the trading domain — charts, market data and the trader's workflow, from the people who use them daily

What we're looking for

Must-haves:

• 3+ years building production web applications with React and TypeScript
• Has shipped features to production in a team codebase, through code review and a release process
• Hands-on experience with a client-side state-management library, such as Redux or an equivalent
• Has built or maintained a UI that updates in real time, for example with WebSockets, live lists or charts
• In person in our Chennai office, 5 days a week

Nice-to-haves:

• Charting, trading, market-data or broker-integration work (adds speed in learning our domain)
• Canvas, SVG or WebGL rendering (adds the ability to work on chart internals)
• Browser performance profiling of long-lived sessions (adds the ability to find slowdowns)
• Automated tests with Vitest, Jest or Playwright (adds confidence in every release)
• Work in a large monorepo (adds familiarity with shared packages and build tooling)
