We are looking for a talented software engineer to join a high-performing team responsible for architecting and delivering the systems that underpin a leading and disruptive global trading operation.

What you’ll work on:
- Design and optimise mission-critical systems where microseconds and gigabits matter
- Build core infrastructure for trading strategies: market data, risk, and execution pipelines
- Translate model logic into real-time code with strict safety, throughput, and latency constraints
- Collaborate with quants, infrastructure, and operations to solve complex engineering problems
We’re looking for:
- Exceptional programming ability in Kotlin, Java, or C++
- Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and networked systems
- Prior experience working in high-performance or real-time environments
- Confidence working close to hardware and tuning Linux-based systems
- Interest in trading systems, low-latency architecture, or distributed data flows
Why Apply:
- Rare opportunity to join a top-tier team owning end-to-end trading systems
- No red tape – small team, high impact, full autonomy
- Engineering-first culture with zero fluff
- Everything you build runs in production and drives real PnL
- Discretion guaranteed – we never share your profile without consent.
