Remote (UK-based) | Full-Time Reactive Markets is the 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year (_). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers. We build trading systems that operate at the edge of what's technically possible — where nanoseconds matter and a dropped message costs real money. Our engineering team is small, senior, and deeply invested in the craft of building cutting edge, reliable, high-performance systems. We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to build the trading platform our clients use every day. Despite the "frontend" name, this is not a UI-only role — our Frontend team works across the whole application stack in TypeScript and Rust, from the trader-facing interfaces down to the services behind them. It's distinct from our Backend team, who own the low-latency C++/Go trading engine. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who takes on the hardest problems and delivers them under their own steam. You'll own complex, ambiguous, performance-critical work end-to-end — designed, built, tested, deployed, and supported in production. You lead through code, craft, and mentoring, setting the technical example the rest of the team calibrates to. This is not a role where you write code and throw it over a wall: our engineers own the full lifecycle, and when something breaks, you're part of the team that investigates and fixes it. Occasional hours outside the normal working day are required for production releases, scheduled maintenance windows, and Level 3 support during critical incidents. We keep this to a minimum and recognise the commitment — but owning a production trading platform means being there when it matters. Complex full-stack features in TypeScript and Rust — from trader-facing interfaces to the application services behind them Real-time market-data presentation and high-throughput, low-latency application code across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) for demanding, data-dense trading interfaces Distributed systems and real-time data over REST, WebSockets, and network protocols Architecture and solution design for the hardest technical problems the team faces Observability and monitoring — dashboards, alerting, and metrics that make frontend behaviour visible Production systems that handle real money — reliability is not optional Technical: Strong full-stack engineering ability with deep TypeScript / JavaScript (ES6+) (5+ years) Solid experience with React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) Real working ability in Rust — it's part of our stack and not optional at this level. If your Rust is still developing, a strong track record of picking up new languages to depth quickly is essential Strong grasp of distributed systems, API design, and real-time data (REST, WebSockets, network protocols such as TCP/UDP and binary protocols) Comfortable reasoning about architecture and making defensible technical trade-offs Python for scripting, automation, and tooling is a bonus Git and Linux fundamentals Experience in financial services or trading technology is a plus but not essential How you work: You ship. You're delivery-focused — you iterate, you improve, you get things into production You run with things. Give you an ambiguous, complex problem and you drive it to done without being managed through it. Senior here means trusted, not just experienced You have range. You're not just strong in the familiar parts of the stack — you pick up the unfamiliar and hold your own on the hardest work You own it. When you build something, you take responsibility for its behaviour in production. You respond to incidents (15-minute acknowledgement SLA during working hours), investigate issues, and close the loop You raise the bar. You review peers' work thoughtfully, mentor the engineers around you through the craft, and set a standard others calibrate to You write things down. Documentation is not an afterthought — it's how we scale knowledge across a distributed team. If it's not written down, it doesn't exist You communicate. We're a distributed team across multiple time zones. Clear, proactive communication — especially when things go wrong — is essential You embrace AI tooling. We use AI tools (Claude, Gemini) to amplify our engineering capability — from code review and debugging to incident investigation and documentation. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be curious and willing to learn Real problems — trading systems where performance is measured in microseconds, not user clicks An excellent team — senior engineers who care about craft, collaborate openly, and hold each other to high standards Ownership — small teams, clear accountability, direct impact on the platform and our clients Competitive package — up to 30 days leave + bank holidays, private health insurance, pension, life insurance, dental/optical cashback, cycle to work, socials and offsites Remote-friendly — work from home with flexibility. We trust our people to deliver Sustainable pace — we work hard, but we don't burn people out. Balance is how we stay sharp Growth — career progression to senior roles, performance specialisation, or technical leadership. We invest in people who invest in us We believe in transparency, honest feedback, and writing things down. We celebrate delivery, not activity. We frame AI as empowering people — removing toil, amplifying capability, enabling higher-value work. We aim to build systems that don't depend on the heroics of individuals to maintain and support — systems and processes that are resilient, documented, and sustainable. We keep our process focused and respectful of your time. Our process follows three stages. Stage 1: Initial Conversation with Talent Acquisition Format: Video call, ~30-45 minutes Stage 2: Hiring Manager Conversation with the relevant team lead or hiring manager Format: Video call, ~60 minutes Stage 3: Technical Interview with two members of the relevant engineering team Format: Video call, interactive session, ~60 minutes What to expect in each stage will be explained by Talent Acquisition if you're invited to interview. Throughout the process, we aim to keep momentum with no unnecessary delays between stages, and feedback typically comes within a few business days. *Please note that depending on availability, Stage 2 and 3 may swap around.

About Stora Stora is building the operating platform for modern self-storage businesses. Our software helps operators manage bookings, payments, customers, facilities and day-to-day operations from one place, while automating much of the work that traditionally makes running a self-storage business unnecessarily complicated. In just over five years, Stora has grown from an early-stage product into a platform used by more than 500 operators. We’re a product-led, remote-first company with an experienced engineering team and ambitious plans for what comes next. Now, as the engineering organisation grows, we’re hiring an Engineering Manager to make sure the way we lead, develop and support engineers grows with it. The Role This is a genuine people leadership role. You’ll manage approximately 12 engineers working across three product teams, with the team expected to continue growing. Each product team has a Tech Lead responsible for technical direction, alongside Product and Design. Your focus is different: the engineers themselves. This isn’t a role for somebody looking to move away from engineering completely, though. You’ll need enough technical depth to understand the work, follow engineering discussions and ask good questions without needing to be the person making every technical decision. You’ll work closely with our Head of Engineering and have support from People, but you’ll have meaningful autonomy to improve how engineering management works at Stora. What Else You’ll Own Engineering Management Manage engineers across multiple product teams through regular, useful 1:1s, coaching and clear feedback. Make expectations clear and help engineers understand what good performance looks like. Identify performance issues early and handle difficult conversations properly when needed. Support engineers in progressing from junior through senior and beyond. Build strong relationships with engineers without creating unnecessary management overhead. Performance & Progression Own the engineering performance and progression approach. Review and improve our existing career levels, expectations and review processes. Make promotion and progression decisions that are consistent, evidence-based and understood by the team. Create a culture where feedback happens throughout the year rather than being saved for formal reviews. Hiring & Team Development Own engineering hiring alongside the relevant Tech Leads and wider team. Help define what we need before a search begins, assess candidates properly and maintain a high hiring bar. Ensure new engineers have a structured and useful onboarding experience. Think proactively about team composition, capability gaps and future hiring needs. Team Health Pay attention to engagement, retention, collaboration and emerging people issues across the engineering organisation. Work with Tech Leads when team problems sit somewhere between technical delivery, behaviour and team dynamics. Help maintain a strong remote engineering culture as Stora grows. Technical Context Stay close enough to the engineering work to understand what the team is solving and the environment they’re working within. Be comfortable reading code, following pull requests and participating intelligently in technical conversations. Partner with Tech Leads without competing with them for technical ownership. What Success Looks Like After your first year, we’d expect: Engineers to have a clear understanding of what is expected of them and how they can progress. Managers and engineers to be having better, more useful conversations about performance and development. Performance issues to be addressed early rather than becoming surprises. A progression framework that works for the engineering organisation Stora has become, not the company we were several years ago. Stronger and more consistent hiring and onboarding. The Head of Engineering spending less time acting as the default people manager for the entire engineering organisation. What We’re Looking For We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Manager, rather than somebody taking their first step into management. You’ll ideally have: Previous experience directly managing software engineers across more than one team or product area. A strong track record of developing engineers at different stages of their careers. Hands-on experience managing performance, including difficult or underperformance situations. Experience making promotion and progression decisions. Experience running or improving engineering career frameworks, review cycles or progression processes. Previous experience hiring software engineers and building effective interview processes. An engineering background that allows you to understand code and contribute meaningfully to technical conversations. The judgement to know when to get involved and when to leave technical decisions with the Tech Leads. Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in a remote environment. A practical understanding of how AI tools are changing software engineering and experience using them in your own work. Experience with Ruby or Rails would be useful, but it isn’t essential. We’re much more interested in whether you can lead engineers well. What This Role Isn’t It’s worth being clear that this isn’t: a Tech Lead role with some people management added on; a delivery or project management position; a Product Manager role; a hands-on engineering role where you’ll spend most of your week writing production code; a first Engineering Manager opportunity. Technical leadership already exists within the product teams. We’re hiring you because engineering management itself deserves dedicated ownership. Our Technology You won’t be expected to spend most of your time writing production code, but you should be comfortable working around our stack. Backend: Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, TimescaleDB Frontend: Turbo, React, ViewComponents, Sass Testing: Minitest, Playwright Deployment: GitHub Actions, Heroku Salary & Benefits Salary: Highly competitive and depending on experience Location: Fully remote within the UK or Ireland Belfast office: Available for anyone who wants to use it Private health insurance for you and your family Company pension 35 days’ annual leave inclusive of applicable public/statutory holidays, depending on location Learning and development support Share options Work-from-home budget Our Hiring Process We’re reviewing applications as they arrive rather than waiting for a closing date. If your experience looks like a strong match, we’ll explain the process clearly from the outset and move quickly. Stora is an equal opportunities employer.c We want to build a workplace where people are treated fairly, with dignity and respect, and where different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives are valued. We welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religious belief or political opinion, or sexual orientation. Recruitment and employment decisions are based on merit, competence and business need, and we promote equality of opportunity and fair participation in line with our responsibilities under Northern Ireland equality legislation.
