Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Go + TypeScript)

About the role

Hermeneutic Research is a proprietary trading firm and hedge fund that runs research-driven discretionary and systematic strategies and makes strategic long-term investments. It is looking for experienced full-stack engineers to build the user interfaces and services behind mission-critical financial applications used by traders, researchers and analysts. You will work on TypeScript front-ends and Go back-end services, owning your work from product requirements through to production. No trading or finance background is required; the firm cares about engineering craft and will teach you the domain.

Key responsibilities

• Translate complex workflows into elegant UI solutions with traders, researchers and product managers.
• Design and implement high-performance, responsive front-ends with a modern TypeScript framework (Svelte, React or Vue).
• Design, build and operate Go back-end services, owning service boundaries and data contracts end-to-end.
• Build reusable UI modules, component libraries and SDKs for a modular, plugin-based platform.
• Build real-time UIs that ingest and render high-frequency market and on-chain data, and high-performance data visualizations using canvas-based charting and D3.js.
• Integrate front-end and back-end through typed SDKs and MCP-based interfaces.
• Drive architecture and performance decisions, deploy and maintain applications under heavy load, write automated tests, take part in code review and mentor other engineers.

Required profile

• 7+ years of hands-on full-stack development with production ownership on both back-end and front-end.
• Proven experience building reusable, well-structured UI components and shared abstractions.
• Experience handling large datasets and real-time updates from back-end sources (WebSockets, Server-Sent Events).
• Solid understanding of performance optimization in data-heavy applications and a disciplined testing approach.
• Genuine UI/UX sensibility and familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP or Azure) and version control.

Required skills

• TypeScript, HTML, CSS and one or more modern front-end frameworks (Svelte, React or Vue)
• Go, able to design, build and operate production services independently
• Unit and integration testing

Nice to have: trading systems or financial platforms background, portfolio-grade UI work, relational databases and caching, real-time or on-chain/crypto market data, MCP, microservices, CI/CD, Docker, Datadog/Grafana/ELK, and prior work in hedge funds or proprietary trading. The interview process includes a CV screen, a technical phone screen, a take-home assignment, an assignment review, and interviews with the CTO and co-founder.
