The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

What you'll do

• Lead the front-end codebase, including cleaning up early code and establishing a shared component library and design system.
• Create data-heavy interfaces such as charts, maps and AI-assisted insights that support business decisions.
• Meet with internal users to understand how they work, capture needs and test rough prototypes, often turning feedback around within hours.
• Produce interface designs in Figma or with AI tools, suggest your own feature ideas and help shape the roadmap with leadership.
• Partner with backend and quantitative research leads to build tools for additional business functions.

Requirements

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, including at least 2 years at a large technology firm or a high-caliber growth-stage startup.
• A track record of leading product work end to end, from early scoping through release, across a wide area of functionality.
• Strong front-end background shipping production web apps, with React and Next.js.
• Experience creating data-intensive products featuring visualizations, charts and maps.
• Skill in designing and prototyping user interfaces in Figma or similar tools.
• Comfort using AI-assisted tools to speed up prototyping, coding and delivery.
