ABOUT THIS ROLE

This is an incredible opportunity for a Software Engineer II who wants to work closely with software development and business teams to build software user interfaces for a variety of financial solutions. This work will involve the definition, creation, and utilization of reusable components that can be used internally or white-labeled for external use. We are looking for experienced, passionate, pragmatic, and collaborative people that want to make a significant impact on how Apex Clearing builds and designs software solutions. You will encounter challenges on a daily basis that require creativity, assertiveness, and domain experience to solve front-end development issues. You should have a good eye for detail and a desire for clarity, as well as a good understanding of front-end behaviors and heuristics. You will be responsible for translating visual and written requirements into pixel-perfect, responsive, and stateful user interfaces.  

What you will do all day: 

• Build sweet UIs – and the frameworks that drive them – on top of APIs designed in collaboration with domain product teams. 

• Think through hard problems and solve them at all layers of the enterprise 

• Write self-documenting and well-tested code with an emphasis on sustainable development practices 

• Work as part of a small, productive development team that cares most about delivering value to the business while emphasizing code quality, peer reviews and strong engineering practices 

What you need to succeed: 

• A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or other demanding engineering degree (or equivalent work experience) 

• 2 or more years of professional experience working as a part of a multi-person development team that utilizes automated testing, CI pipelines, peer reviews ideally in an Agile Environment 

• A strong proficiency and in-depth understanding of front-end technologies, especially typescript, react, and CSS 

• Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements 

• A passion for UX: you understand in your bones that page speed, asset size, and critical render path all affect your users. Pixel-perfect layout may or may not be your thing, but you know that a subtly bad form can ruin a user’s impression of your application. 

• Adaptability: while you enjoy establishing processes and standards, you understand the need to be flexible and enjoy trying new things. 

• Ability to learn new and unfamiliar technologies quickly, as required 

• A practice of writing technical documentation, whether ADRs, design docs, or just sequence diagrams
