Elwood Technologies · United Kingdom
Join Elwood Technologies as a Graduate Software Engineer to build the front-end of a high-impact trading and portfolio management platform. You’ll work with real-time market data, collaborate with senior developers, and contribute to a FinTech platform serving institutional investors globally. This is a strong entry point for graduates seeking technical depth and real-world impact in finance technology.
About the Role
You’ll join our UI team building the front-end of a trading and portfolio management platform, where large volumes of real-time market and position data have to be displayed clearly, accurately, and fast. Working alongside experienced front-end developers, you’ll help build the live grids, charts, and dashboards that traders and portfolio managers depend on every day. It’s a data-intensive problem space with real technical depth; a strong place for a graduate to start.
What You Will Do
Build and maintain user interfaces in TypeScript and React
Work with streaming, real-time data for live prices, orders, positions, and P&L;
Present large, fast-moving datasets through interactive grids and charts
Sweat performance and accuracy: the numbers have to be right and the screen can’t lag
Collaborate with senior developers, take part in code reviews, and steadily take on more ownership
What We Are Looking For
A degree (or equivalent) in computing, or demonstrable equivalent self-taught ability
Working knowledge of the web platform: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Some hands-on experience with TypeScript and React, e.g. coursework, personal projects, internships, or self-study
An understanding of how a modern front-end application is structured: components, state, and rendering
Evidence of self-driven learning like a side project, a deployed app, a GitHub, something you chased because it interested you
Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate across cross-functional teams
A passion for a career in a FinTech environment, and a genuine interest in the Crypto / Digital Assets space
Familiarity with Git and working in a team codebase
Nice to Have
Exposure to Next.js or a modern build tool such as Vite
Experience with data-heavy UI components like grids (e.g. ag-Grid) or charting libraries (e.g. Highcharts)
Any exposure to real-time or streaming data (WebSockets, live updates)
An eye for UI performance and rendering efficiently where data changes constantly
An interest in finance, markets, or trading
