Software Engineer (3 month contract)

ABOUT US:

Here at Sphere (www.onsphere.com) we operate in the dynamic world of energy commodities trading, where information and speed are crucial for success. However, data in these markets is often fragmented and opaque, leaving participants with incomplete and poor-quality information….

Enhanced by AI insights and quantitative analytics, our platform is designed to support even the most skilled traders; See more.  Win more.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

• Pick up and own, the transformation of a typescript library running within Electron


• Produce recommendations for improvements to the interaction of the typescript library with the server backend and separately with the UI


• Refactor the library to drastically reduce the daily maintenance overhead of supporting the library (The library manages the interaction with an ever-changing 3rd party tool, so it must gracefully handle breaking changes, slowness and unexpected behaviours from that 3rd party tool)


• Hybrid working – Flexibility to work from the office as much as preferred, with a min of 2 days per week in our LDN office initially

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR IN YOU:

• You will have a proven ability to pick up a code base and start making changes very quickly from with a commercial environment


• You will need to be a real Node.js Typescript guru


• Electron experience (the more the better!)


• If you have done any work directly with WhatsApp this would be a massive plus


• In-depth experience with managing 3rd party tool integrations, especially for ones with little to no documentation


• Excellent spoken English and the ability to work autonomously
