Senior Front End Developer

OrbicTrade is an AI-enabled front-office and risk platform built specifically for commodity traders. It captures deal intent at source, turns it into structured, integration-ready trades, and connects with existing CTRM, ERP and data platforms.

Traders, trade control, operations and risk teams use OrbicTrade across crude and products, LNG, metals and concentrates, and agriculture. We do not replace the CTRM. We are the intelligent layer that works with a firm's existing technology, from deal capture and confirmation through to Value at Risk.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Front End Developer to join our growing product team in Dubai.
