Job description

Join a high-impact engineering team delivering cutting-edge solutions for Financial Markets. We build systems used daily by sales teams, traders, and risk managers across global hubs: London, Amsterdam, Brussels, New York, and Singapore.

Our focus is on derivative products across multiple asset classes (equities, commodities, interest rates). You will contribute to platforms that automate the full trading lifecycle - from client quote requests to pricing, booking, and risk management - in highly dynamic, real-time environments.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology, finance, and global collaboration, where your work directly influences business decisions.

Your responsibilities:

  • Design and develop robust backend services and expose them via modern REST APIs
  • Continuously improve architecture, scalability, and infrastructure, including CI/CD pipelines
  • Enhance performance, reliability, and system resilience in production environments
  • Collaborate closely with business experts, traders, and quants to deliver complex features
  • Apply and promote high-quality engineering practices, including automated testing
  • Proactively identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues, ensuring long-term stability

Requirements

Do you have experience in Spring Framework?, Do you have a Master’s degree?, * MSc in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience

  • 5+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade software
  • Strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, design patterns, and concurrency
  • Proven ability to build modular, testable, and maintainable systems
  • Hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Git, and SQL
  • Strong analytical thinking and a problem-solving mindset
  • Good command of English (written and spoken)

You’ll get extra points for:

  • Knowledge of equity derivatives or trading concepts
  • Experience in financial markets or fintech environments
  • Familiarity with market data providers and APIs (e.g., LSEG / RFA, Bloomberg B-Pipe)
