About the company

We're partnering with a leading investment bank on a major greenfield build - a brand-new, in-house FX E-Trading platform. This multi-year programme is at an early stage, offering the chance to help shape architecture, performance, and design from the ground up. Join a team of experienced technologists delivering a modern, low-latency trading environment - all while working fully remotely from anywhere in the UK. Why This Role Stands Out * Fully Remote (UK) - No commute, no relocation - collaborate virtually with a high-calibre global team. * 12-Month Initial Contract - Long-term engagement with strong potential for extension. * Greenfield Build - Influence architecture, design, and key technical decisions from the outset. * High-Performance Systems - Develop low-latency, multi-threaded Java components in a front-office trading environment.
