Job description
- Developing and optimising a high-performance DataGrid and charting library used globally
- Solving complex problems around rendering, large datasets, and real-time updates
- Working across data structures, algorithms, and performance-critical code paths
- Contributing to both grid and visualisation components
- Building features end-to-end - from design through to release

Requirements
- Strong JavaScript and TypeScript fundamentals (framework-agnostic mindset)
- Experience with a statically typed language (C++, C#, Java, Python, etc.)
- Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design
- Experience building complex systems - not just application-layer UI
- Familiarity with React, Angular, or Vue (and how they interact with the DOM)
- Ability to reason about performance, memory usage, and rendering behaviour
- High standards for code quality, maintainability, and correctness
Benefits & conditions
£150,000 - £200,000 + package, * You'll work on core libraries used by thousands of engineering teams worldwide

Package
- £150,000 - £200,000 base salary
