About Elwood As an FCA-regulated firm, Elwood Technologies provides institutional investors with a seamless, end-to-end digital asset trading, execution, and risk management infrastructure connected to global markets via a single API. To support the continued growth of this platform, we are now seeking a Graduate Software Engineer to join our UI team. Job Description You'll join our UI team building the front-end of a trading and portfolio management platform, where large volumes of real-time market and position data have to be displayed clearly, accurately, and fast. Working alongside experienced front-end developers, you'll help build the live grids, charts, and dashboards that traders and portfolio managers depend on every day. It's a data-intensive problem space with real technical depth; a strong place for a graduate to start. Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain user interfaces in TypeScript and React Work with streaming, real-time data for live prices, orders, positions, and P&L Present large, fast-moving datasets through interactive grids and charts Sweat performance and accuracy: the numbers have to be right and the screen can't lag Collaborate with senior developers, take part in code reviews, and steadily take on more ownership

About You:  You're someone who, when you hit something you don't understand, gets more interested rather than less. You learn by building things and breaking them. You're not fazed by complex, messy data, and you like the challenge of making it clear, taking something dense and tangled and turning it into a screen someone else can understand. You sweat the details, because in a trading system the details are the whole game. Qualifications / Knowledge

A degree (or equivalent) in computing, or demonstrable equivalent self-taught ability Working knowledge of the web platform: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Some hands-on experience with TypeScript and React, e.g. coursework, personal projects, internships, or self-study An understanding of how a modern front-end application is structured: components, state, and rendering Evidence of self-driven learning like a side project, a deployed app, a GitHub, something you chased because it interested you Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively collaborate across cross-functional teams. A passion for a career in a FinTech environment, and a genuine interest in the Crypto / Digital Assets space.

Desirable:

Exposure to Next.js or a modern build tool such as Vite Experience with data-heavy UI components like grids (e.g. ag-Grid) or charting libraries (e.g. Highcharts) Any exposure to real-time or streaming data (WebSockets, live updates) An eye for UI performance and rendering efficiently where data changes constantly An interest in finance, markets, or trading Familiarity with Git and working in a team codebase
