Ceryneian Partners LLC

About the Role

At Ceryneian, we’re building a next-generation, research-driven algorithmic trading platform aimed at democratizing access to hedge fund-grade financial analytics. Headquartered in California, Ceryneian is a fintech innovation company dedicated to empowering traders with sophisticated yet accessible tools for quantitative research, strategy development, and execution.

Our flagship platform is currently under development. As our Frontend / Full Stack Engineer, you’ll lead the creation of a stunning, intuitive user experience—spanning our landing page, drag-and-drop strategy builder, trading dashboards, and internal tools. You’ll collaborate closely with design, backend, and DevOps teams to build high-performance, secure, and scalable customer-facing applications. This role is central to delivering the reliability, flexibility, and performance our users will rely on in fast-moving financial markets.

We are a remote-first team and are open to hiring exceptional candidates globally.

Core Tasks

·      Design, build, and deploy customer-facing interfaces, including the strategy builder, dashboards, and marketplace.

·      Implement reusable UI components based on Figma designs; integrate charting tools like TradingView or Highcharts.

·      Own the frontend development pipeline, including prototyping, implementation, testing, and responsiveness.

·      Implement secure authentication and user management (OAuth2, JWT, multi-role access).

·      Build real-time web experiences using WebSockets, REST, and client-server integrations.

·      Collaborate with backend and DevOps teams to streamline data flow and deployment workflows.

Top Technical Competencies

·      Strong foundation in HTML/CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript.

·      Proficiency in modern frontend frameworks such as React (Next.js), Svelte, Angular, Vue, or Phoenix.

·      Experience with OAuth2 and secure authentication workflows.

·      Familiarity with server-side rendering (SSR) and modern state management (Zustand, Redux, MobX).

·      Integration experience with charting libraries such as TradingView, Recharts, or Highcharts.

·      Deployment experience using platforms like Vercel, Heroku, GCP, or AWS.

·      Working knowledge of WebSockets, REST APIs, and data streaming models.

·      0–3 years of frontend development experience.

Bonus Competencies

·      Familiarity with Supabase, PostgreSQL, Firebase, or MongoDB.

·      Understanding of microfrontend architectures or API Gateway patterns.

·      Experience with WebAssembly and real-time trading interfaces.

·      Exposure to fintech platforms or trading systems.

·      Background from Tier-I or Tier-II institutions with strong computer science fundamentals, a passion for scalable system design, and a drive to build cutting-edge fintech infrastructure.

Ideal Candidate

You’re a design-minded full stack engineer who builds fast, clean, and modular frontend systems. You thrive on making complex interfaces intuitive—turning strategy logic into drag-and-drop workflows—and can ship high-performance components that integrate seamlessly with real-time APIs. You value design systems, scalable frontends, and cross-functional collaboration.

What We Offer

·      Opportunity to shape the product interface of a next-gen fintech startup.

·      A collaborative, technically driven culture.

·      Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses.

·      Flexible working hours and a remote-friendly environment.

·      Implement abstraction layers for brokers and market data feeds to offer a unified API experience.

·      Bridge the core engine language with Python strategies using gRPC, ZeroMQ, or similar interop technologies.

·      Implement logic to parse and execute JSON-based strategy DSL from the strategy builder.

·      Design compute-optimized components for multi-asset workflows and scalable backtesting.

·      Capture real-time state, performance metrics, and slippage for both live and simulated runs.

·      Collaborate with infrastructure engineers to support high-availability deployments.

Top Technical Competencies

·      Proficiency in distributed systems, concurrency, and system design.

·      Strong backend/server-side development skills using C++, Rust, C#, Erlang, or Python.

·      Deep understanding of data structures and algorithms with a focus on low-latency performance.

·      Experience with event-driven and messaging-based architectures (e.g., ZeroMQ, Redis Streams).
