Apply for the Senior JavaScript Engineer | DataGrid & Charting Libraries | London
Location: London
Job Description:

Frontend Systems Engineer – DataGrid & Visualisation Libraries | London (Hybrid)

Most engineers build applications.

This team builds the components those applications rely on.

What you’ll be working on

  • Developing and optimising a high-performance DataGrid and charting library used globally
  • Solving complex problems around rendering, large datasets, and real-time updates
  • Working across data structures, algorithms, and performance-critical code paths
  • Contributing to both grid and visualisation components
  • Building features end-to-end — from design through to release
  • Shaping the direction of widely adopted developer tooling

What they’re looking for

  • Experience with a statically typed language (C++, C#, Java, Python, etc.)
  • Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software design
  • Experience building complex systems — not just application-layer UI
  • Familiarity with React, Angular, or Vue (and how they interact with the DOM)
  • Ability to reason about performance, memory usage, and rendering behaviour
  • High standards for code quality, maintainability, and correctness

Why this role stands out

  • You’ll work on core libraries used by thousands of engineering teams worldwide
  • The problems are genuinely challenging — performance, scale, and architecture
  • Engineering-led culture with a strong emphasis on quality and ownership
  • Flat structure, minimal bureaucracy, and high autonomy
  • Real impact on a product used in mission-critical environments

Package

  • Private healthcare, pension, and additional benefits
  • Hybrid working (London-based)
  • High-spec hardware and developer-focused environment

If you enjoy solving technically challenging problems around algorithms, recursion, and performance, apply or get in touch for a confidential conversation.
