Engineering Lead - FX Options Platform

About this role

Rocketfin Consulting Ltd · London, UK · Full-time · Senior / Lead

Engineering Lead — FX Options Platform

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an Engineering Lead to own the technical execution of our FX Options Platform — a fast-moving, AI-native trading system where frontend, middleware, and intelligent agents all converge. This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll be writing production code, shaping architecture, and setting the bar for how we build AI-powered financial products at Rocketfin.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead engineering execution end-to-end — from scoping and architecture through to shipping production-grade systems at pace.

• Build AI-native product experiences — designing UX and systems that put Claude and LLMs at the core, not the periphery.

• Architect middleware and orchestration layers — the connective tissue that links frontend, AI systems, and financial data flows.

• Work hands-on with agents and AI workflows — building, iterating, and owning agentic systems in production.

• Move fast and ship high-quality systems — balancing speed with craft in a trading environment where reliability and precision matter.

CORE STACK

TypeScript · React · Python · Claude / LLM-native development

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You're genuinely AI-forward — not just someone who uses LLMs as a feature, but someone who thinks in agent workflows, orchestration patterns, and AI-native UX. You operate comfortably across the full stack and take pride in systems that are both fast and well-crafted. You've led engineers (or are ready to), and you bring clarity and momentum to a team.

NICE TO HAVE

• Agentic systems — experience building and running agents in production

• Streaming AI UX — designing real-time, streaming AI experiences

• MCP ecosystems — familiarity with Model Context Protocol tooling

• Frontend design systems — component libraries and design systems at scale

• Financial products / trading / FX — options, FX, or trading platform experience
