Symmetry investments | London OR remote (European timezone), VISA | Full time | Senior ReactJS developer
I'm Jacques. I'm a senior developer. I don't work in HR, but I'm posting this because I really want to work with talented people.
Symmetry investments is a hedge fund that deals with a wide variety of financial products, but we mostly focus on fixed income. We're building a new web team to build internal tooling. No finance experience necessary. We're a relatively flat organization with minimal bureaucracy. You'll be working with another senior ReactJS developer (myself) and a UI/UX specialist. Since it's a new team, there isn't much legacy code. Everyone is friendly and it's easy to propose new initiatives.
Relevant industry experience: TypeScript/ReactJS experience: 4+ years
Other requirements: Must be living in a timezone between England and Hong Kong OR be willing to relocate to London.
Please apply using this general link (https://jobs.lever.co/symmetryinvestments/c8a9b95e-bdf0-459c...). In the cover letter section, please answer the following question: What is the most technically challenging thing you've implemented in ReactJS and why was it technically challenging? (4 sentences maximum. Avoid buzzwords. Don't mention impact. It will be read by myself.)
Many of my former students had wildly inaccurate mental models so I built a platform that focuses on addressing that particular issue: https://wakata.io
It teaches JavaScript, but most mainstream programming languages have the same semantics. It's particularly challenging because building a good mental model of programming takes a lot of time and effort.
