About the Role
We are seeking highly skilled developers to join a cutting-edge electronic trading team. This role focuses on building and optimizing low-latency trading systems for Rates, Credit, or FX markets. You will work in a dynamic environment, leveraging advanced technologies to deliver microsecond-level performance without compromising on quality. Usual banking red tape is removed, allowing you to move fast and release to production frequently - currently, this is daily, but soon will be hourly. Roles are available at AVP and VP level.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design, develop, and maintain low-latency trading systems, ensuring exceptional speed and reliability.
* Collaborate within one of 10 specialized sub-teams (Algo, Market Data, RFQ) based on experience and expertise.
* Leverage cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes, containerization, and bare-metal systems to drive performance improvements.
* Contribute to automation initiatives and support continuous deployment, achieving 30-minute cycles.
* Work closely with traders, quants, and product teams to analyze requirements and deliver innovative, high-quality solutions.
* Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical challenges, including performance bottlenecks and latency issues.
Key Requirements:
* Strong academic background, with a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
* Expertise in low-latency electronic trading systems, with a preference for experience in Rates (Credit/FX also considered).
* Advanced technical skills, including experience with Kubernetes, containers, and microservices architecture.
* Knowledge of relational databases and proficiency with development tools such as Git, JIRA, and Confluence.
* Exceptional problem-solving skills and a passion for innovation in high-performance environments.
What We Offer:
* Competitive salary up to £200k for VP roles. AVP dependent on experience.
* Opportunities to work with state-of-the-art technology in a high-performance trading environment with reduced red tape.
* A dynamic and collaborative team focused on driving innovation and technical excellence.
How to Apply:
If you are passionate about developing high-performance trading systems and pushing the boundaries of low-latency technology, we would love to hear from you.
