VP, Algo / Smart Order Router Developer
🚀 VP, Algo / Smart Order Router Developer | London
I'm working with a leading electronic trading business seeking an experienced Algo Developer to help build the next generation of execution and routing technology.
This is a genuinely greenfield opportunity where you'll play a key role designing and developing institutional-grade execution algorithms and Smart Order Routing capabilities from the ground up.
The role:
â–ª Design and develop low-latency EMS and Smart Order Routing infrastructure
â–ª Build intelligent execution algorithms across fragmented liquidity venues
â–ª Optimise routing decisions based on liquidity, latency, execution quality, and cost
â–ª Partner closely with traders and product teams
â–ª Drive architecture decisions across a highly scalable trading platform
â–ª Support performance tuning and production trading environments
Requirements:
✔ Strong Java engineering background
✔ Experience building execution algorithms or Smart Order Routers
✔ Deep understanding of electronic trading architecture
✔ Market data, exchange connectivity, and order lifecycle expertise
✔ Low-latency systems development experience
✔ Strong knowledge of concurrency, networking, and performance optimisation
✔ Linux environment experience
Experience across FX, electronic trading, market connectivity, or digital markets is particularly relevant.
London-based.
Interested in speaking with engineers who have built rather than simply supported execution technology.
