Job description

Contribute to a new, cutting-edge, low-latency FX e trading platform - delivering high performance, resilient, and secure systems.
Partner closely with product, trading, and infrastructure teams to deliver features end to end-from UI and desktop container experiences to low latency Back End services.
Lean into the latest AI coding tools to accelerate delivery, strengthen code quality, and enhance developer experience.

What you’ll do

Architect and implement scalable, event driven, and microservices based Back End components, including APIs, market data, order/risk workflows, and Real Time streaming.
Optimize latency, throughput, and reliability across the stack; instrument observability (metrics, tracing, logging) and performance profiling.
Establish engineering best practices: code standards, testing strategies (unit/integration/E2E), CI/CD, secure coding, and release management.
Mentor engineers through code reviews, design sessions, and hands on pairing-encouraging thoughtful abstractions, clean architecture, and pragmatic delivery.
Use AI development tools for assisted coding, refactoring, test generation, secure code analysis, documentation, and knowledge search-evaluating where AI accelerates while maintaining human oversight.
Collaborate with stakeholders to translate trading requirements into robust technical designs; write clear specs and implementation plans.

Requirements

Professional software engineering experience, with deep expertise in: o Core Java, Multithreading/concurrency, performance tuning.
Experience with low latency design and patterns.
Designing and operating distributed systems (microservices, event driven architectures, messaging/streaming).
Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, concurrency, networking, OS).
Proven experience in e trading or Real Time financial systems (FX highly desirable), including familiarity with market data, order flows, and execution workflows.
Hands on with CI/CD, containerization, cloud/on prem deployments, and observability.
Comfortable integrating AI coding tools into daily development workflows.
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement; able to lead initiatives and mentor others.
