Many of our projects are focused on efficiently delivering large volumes of trade or pricing data to the end-user, while providing both high-performance, responsive experiences and rich, full featured end-user functionality. Therefore, experience with multi-threaded UI's, efficient memory and thread management, and judicious use of screen real estate are important considerations for these positions.

Additionally, a solid understanding of Web Services and Flex toolsets (IDE’s, debuggers, libraries), combined with a capacity and desire for all phases of creating web applications (such as information architecture, AJAX, html) are useful as well.
