The EMSX Frontend Engineering team builds critical trading software for the world’s biggest institutional firms. We provide buy-side firms the ability to connect to a large network of 3000+ brokers and offer sell-side firms the necessary workflows to effectively manage their client flow. Traders depend on EMSX to execute critical trades that move the financial markets around the world. With more than a trillion dollars traded on our systems daily, our business continues to evolve towards trends such as trade automation, predictive analytics, higher data volumes, and an increased focus on speed.

We develop various trading functionalities with TypeScript in R+ as the frontend and RPaaS, Python or modern C++ (C++ 14/17) as the backend. We also leverage various industry standard technologies such as React, Redux, Kafka, Solr, and Redis.

Due to the level of complexity in our products, we value code quality on a very high level and practice Test Driven Development (TDD) in the team. We use industry standard testing frameworks (Jest for JavaScript/TypeScript, pytest for Python and Google Test for C++) and strive for 100% code coverage.

Complete CI/CD automation is another main driver of the team. We believe that the developer's time should be spent on creative tasks while any repetitive and mundane work should be automated by machines. In general, our technology stack and practices are more aligned with the industry as opposed to the traditional Bloomberg standard.
