Build technology that powers real trading.
Join a high-performance engineering team developing low-latency, resilient backend systems used in live trading environments. You’ll work on complex technical challenges from day one, building software that genuinely impacts how markets operate — not just writing code in the background.
This is a fast-growing fintech where strong engineers progress quickly into Senior, Low-Latency, or Quant-Engineering tracks within 12–24 months.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and optimise backend components of real-time trading and risk systems
- Develop clean, efficient, high-performance code in C++ and Java
- Work closely with traders, quants, and senior engineers to deliver new features
- Solve complex problems around performance, reliability, and scale
- Contribute to architecture discussions and see ideas move to production quickly
- Gain exposure to market data, order routing, distributed systems, and microservices
What We’re Looking For
- Strong academic background — Computer Science, Maths, Engineering or similar
- Solid programming ability in C++ and/or Java
- Interest in financial markets, trading systems, or high-performance computing
- Strong problem-solver who enjoys tackling low-level or system-level challenges
- Ability to learn quickly in a fast-paced environment
- Bonus: experience with Linux, networking, concurrency, or personal trading/tech projects
Why You’ll Love It Here
- Impact: Your code will run in production, powering real trading workflows
- Growth: Close mentoring from senior engineers + rapid technical progression
- Culture: Collaborative, engineering-driven, and open to new ideas
- Perks: Hybrid working, performance bonus, regular socials, and a clear 12-month salary review
