Senior Full-Stack Developer
Applied BlockchainBlockchain, zero knowledge and confidential computing solutions.
We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join an established trading platform development programme for a large enterprise client. The platform has been live in production for over 7 years, with most of the core team having worked on it for close to 5 years on average — a reflection of the stability, quality, and long-term nature of this engagement. The system is production-critical and actively evolving, with a strong focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability. While Applied Blockchain is well known for distributed ledger and cryptography work, this role is focused on a non-blockchain trading system built using modern TypeScript-based technologies. The role is full stack in nature, though with a slightly stronger emphasis on the frontend (React/TypeScript). You'll be joining a highly experienced team of senior engineers and QA developers, where autonomy, technical ownership, and thoughtful decision-making are expected. What you’ll be doing - Designing, building, and maintaining features across the full stack of an internal trading platform - Working primarily with: - TypeScript (Node.js & React) - Monorepo tooling, GitHub, GitHub Actions - Jest, Playwright - Redis, MS SQL, WebSockets - Docker, Kubernetes - Observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus, SonarQube) - Taking end-to-end ownership of features from design through to production - Collaborating closely with platform / DevOps engineers on build pipelines, observability, and operational concerns - Communicating directly with the client to clarify requirements and propose solutions - Contributing to and improving automated testing practices - Participating in peer code reviews and helping maintain high engineering standards across the team - Using LLM/AI enabled development tools and techniques (with access to the latest OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. models) as part of day-to-day development
