Engineering Manager, UI Platform Job at MarketAxess Holdings Inc. in New York

Company Description

MarketAxess is on a journey to digitally transform one of the world’s largest financial markets, enabling the shift from analog, phone-based trading to a fully electronic marketplace. Why does this matter? Because our platform makes trading fixed-income more accessible, ultimately improving transparency, efficiency, and competition in the marketplace. Changing the way an established industry transacts is no easy feat. There will be twists and turns, because no one’s ever done this before. But now, more than 2,000 clients around the world rely on our solutions, and that number is only expected to grow in the years ahead. We know where we’re going. How we get there is up to us. Join us and help Take Us There.

The Role

Feedback from your users should be something that you look forward to, as you will work closely with the Product and Engineering team users to incorporate their needs into the team’s roadmap and use it as a measure of success using OKR’s. A critical success factor is being viewed as a trusted partner and collaborator.

We embrace a culture of collaboration and experimentation while striving to encourage all team members to focus on continuous improvement and learning. We openly welcome diverse perspectives and people who are not afraid to challenge assumptions and prior ways of working. Otherwise, how do we innovate, learn, and grow as a team and individuals?

How You'll Help Take Us There

You will demonstrate competencies across the following key dimensions :

• Interpreting Business Needs & Supporting Strategy Execution

Work closely with the Head of X-Pro and UI Platform to implement and evolve the strategic direction for the UI Platform. You’ll contribute input grounded in day-to-day technical realities and collaborate to refine priorities based on feasibility, team feedback, and internal user needs — helping turn strategy into executable plans.

Take a hands-on role in designing, building, and delivering the core services your team owns — from implementation through testing, deployment, and support. You’ll lead by example in writing high-quality code and collaborating on technical design, while also establishing lightweight, repeatable processes that ensure consistency, productivity, and platform reliability.

Collaborate directly with other squad leads and engineers to define architectural standards and make pragmatic decisions that balance long-term vision with present-day tradeoffs. Author RFCs and document design choices through ADRs that reflect real implementation paths, not just theoretical ideals.

Mentor engineers through hands-on code-pairing, thoughtful code reviews, and unblock the team to keep momentum high. Create an environment where engineers feel ownership of their work, supported in their growth, and aligned with shared technical goals.

Stay engaged in evaluating tools and frameworks by actively experimenting with them, prototyping new ideas, and recommending adoption paths. You’ll use your day-to-day involvement to inform your technology choices so they reflect practical realities and not just trends.

Work directly with Product and Engineering stakeholders to ensure plans are executable and user needs are clearly understood. Collaborate with the Head of UX Design and other partners to turn ideas into tangible platform capabilities, particularly around our shared desktop strategy.
