Develop and maintain software that makes effective use of network communication, concurrency, and inter-process messaging. Collaborate with Traders, Quants, Infrastructure personnel, and fellow software developers to clarify requirements and coordinate delivery. Contribute to architecture discussions and technical decisions, balancing latency, scalability, efficiency, reliability, and maintainability.

Diagnose issues, communicate findings clearly, and support effective resolutions. Deliver well-structured, carefully considered work within agreed timeframes while contributing positively to the shared goals of the global development team.

Benefits

This role offers the opportunity to work on an in-house electronic trading system and contribute directly to technology used in financial markets.
