I'm currently partnering with a high-performing FX trading technology team looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve the next generation of their real-time trading platform. This is an opportunity to work on technology that sits at the heart of a global trading business, building highly scalable, low-latency systems that process millions of events and market data updates every day. The role offers a genuine mix of high-performance backend engineering and modern front-end development, giving you the opportunity to work across distributed services, real-time data platforms, and Angular applications used directly by traders and business users. When market volatility increases, trade volumes can spike within seconds, so the platform must remain fast, resilient, and fault-tolerant under extreme load. You'll be solving challenging engineering problems around scalability, concurrency, messaging, and performance in an environment where technology is a real competitive advantage.
What You’ll Be Working With:
- C# / .NET (currently .NET 8 / .NET 10)
- Angular (latest versions) building responsive, real-time trading applications
- Kafka and event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, Kinesis or similar also considered)
- Distributed microservices
- PostgreSQL and large-scale relational databases
- Real-time data streaming and messaging platforms
- Cloud-native engineering and modern software development practices
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Designing and building highly scalable backend services in C#/.NET
- Developing modern Angular front-end applications for trading and operational users
- Building and enhancing real-time event-driven platform services
- Optimising performance, scalability, and resilience across distributed systems
- Working closely with Product Owners and the wider engineering team to deliver high-quality solutions
- Contributing to architecture decisions and mentoring other engineers
What We’re Looking For:
- Strong commercial experience with C#/.NET
- Experience with Kafka or other messaging/event-streaming technologies
- A solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, and scalable architecture
- Experience building high-performance applications within financial services, trading, or other real-time environments is highly desirable
