Original posting

Senior Front End Developer: SEC $120,000 - $155,000 New York We're building the SEC's next generation analytic platforms to keep our markets safe, effective, and trusted. Come build state-of-the-art tools to analyze big data within the High Frequency Trading arena. We do quantitative analysis, machine learning, plus good old fashioned product development. At the end of the day we are creating modern, elegant applications that help our government be more efficient, effective, and modernized. You are: A front end developer with solid experience using JS. You will own the front end of the application and be focused on data visualization and creating a GUI. While we don’t need a graphic designer, some design sense will be a huge asset for creatively displaying data in clear and meaningful ways. Your visualizations will be used to enforce the law on big firms trading within the markets. The development tools we are interested in are: D3, Highcharts, React, Node, Angular2, Typescript, and any others that you may bring to the table. The ability to learn is more valuable than being a pro in all the tools from the get go, but familiarity with them is helpful. Any additional languages/tools, such as Python, C/C++, KDB+ are wholly welcome. Join a small team of talented developers, capable researchers, and finance people. It doesn't matter if you know our stack or not, if you love to learn you'll fit right in. For more information, or to apply, email Michael Suswal at suswalm (at)sec(dot)gov
