## Description

This is a Software Engineer position working across the design, architecture and development of enterprise grade systems that support trading, operations and risk functions. You will build tools, reports and data feeds to fulfil business requirements from front office trading teams and work closely with Heads of business lines to ensure systems are properly implemented and effectively maintained.

The career value here is the domain. Working on systems that sit at the intersection of institutional finance and digital asset markets gives you exposure to genuinely complex, high stakes problems that most engineers never get near. The autonomy and ownership that comes with being part of a small, high calibre team means your decisions have real impact and your contributions are visible. That kind of environment accelerates development in ways that larger, more process heavy organisations simply cannot.
