Требования

• Deep expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript, including a strong working knowledge of JavaScript engine internals, memory management, and garbage collection behavior
• Hands-on experience profiling and optimizing browser rendering pipelines — layout, paint, compositing — and diagnosing jank, long tasks, and main-thread contention
• Proven ability to build and optimize high-frequency, real-time UI that renders streaming data while maintaining a consistent frame rate (experience with Canvas, Web Workers, WebSockets, or similar is a plus)
• Fluency with performance tooling and measurement: Chrome DevTools, Performance/Lighthouse, flame charts, and Core Web Vitals or comparable runtime metrics
• You'll lead the initiatives that make Legend faster and more efficient, while also contributing to feature development across core trading surfaces where your performance expertise has the greatest impact
• The work balances deep technical execution with meaningful cross-functional partnership
