Symmetry

Senior React Developer

Full-time

Description

Symmetry Investments is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Jersey and Cayman Islands. We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win-Wins – in the broadest sense. Win-Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win-Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer:
We integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way.
We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration.
We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best.
We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly.
We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community.

Responsibilities

We’re looking for a senior ReactJS developer who is passionate about building good user experiences. You would take part in the design and implementation of our browser-based tools.

We expect the candidate to be able to build anything they need, but at the same time to have the wisdom to know when to use an existing library. Ability to effectively debug using the Chrome and React developer tools is necessary in the job to work efficiently and during the interview process to signal your mastery of web development. We're looking at a deep thinker who has a fundamental understanding of every part of their development environment: the language, the frameworks and the libraries. Empathy for users is also a necessary skill. We are looking for someone who has the passion for building good user experiences.
You will initially be working on the business side of a Hedge Fund, but opportunities on the trading side are forecasted. You will be reporting to a senior React developer.
