Its work covers trading flows, options onboarding for new customers, and monitoring tools.

- Design, build, test, and roll out features in React and TypeScript across trading flows, options onboarding, and monitoring tools

- Diagnose complex performance problems and data issues, including options calculations, find the root cause, and set up monitoring to catch problems early
- Partner with product managers and designers (and content designers when needed) to shape and ship customer-facing features
