Description
ABOUT DESCRIAL
Descrial is an AI work-execution platform purpose-built for alternative investment firms and their portfolio companies and securely orchestrates proprietary data, external sources, and workflows.
Descrial is an important pillar of Enterprise Intelligence Orchestration (EIO) and enables it by structuring and standardizing data while embedding domain expertise, thereby enabling faster and contextual analysis, broader coverage, and more intelligent decision-making.
It is backed by TresVista's 1,800+ employees and deep domain expertise across investment diligence, research, valuation, fund administration, accounting, and data analytics.
The team is small, senior, high-ownership, and in-office, with direct access to the Executive Committee.
OVERVIEW
As a Front-End Engineer on the UK core team, you will build the interfaces investment professionals live in: data-dense dashboards, document-centric workflows, and AI-assisted experiences where trust and verifiability are part of the design.
The stack is React and React Native with TypeScript, a shared component system themable across tenants, and the performance discipline that data-heavy enterprise UI demands.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Product engineering
Build complex product surfaces in React / React Native with TypeScript: advanced forms, analytics dashboards, real-time updates, and rich document viewsBuild data-dense experiences properly: grid components (AG Grid / MUI DataGrid class), virtualisation, CSS Grid/Flexbox layouts that hold at scaleImplement AI-experience patterns: streaming responses, citation and verification affordances, and graceful failure states for model-backed featuresDesign the interface for agentic workflows: approval and hand-off steps, visibility of what a tool call is doing, partial-progress states, and letting a user interrupt or correct an agent mid-runMake model-backed interactions feel responsive: perceived-performance work for calls that take seconds rather than millisecondsPlatform and quality
Contribute to the shared component library and multi-tenant theming system; keep per-tenant branding, permissions, and configuration cleanIntegrate securely with backend APIs: auth, role-based access, tenant context, and client-side error handlingWrite and maintain unit, integration, and E2E tests (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress/Playwright); meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1)Profile and optimise: code splitting, lazy loading, memoisation, bundle discipline through Jenkins + SonarQube pipelines to AWS
