Your mission:

  • Build, enhance, and maintain the core components of the trading system, from exchange connectivity to monitoring systems.

  • Design new features and collaborate with internal users to continuously improve the proprietary platform.

  • Participate in on-call rotations to support a 24/7 trading environment, handling troubleshooting as issues arise.

  • Support projects beyond the core trading system, contributing to data pipelines, operational tooling, and post-trade systems as needed.

    What you bring:

  • Mandatory: A background in asset management, fintech, or hedge funds.

  • UK Citizenship (this role requires UK-based applicants with full rights to work).

  • A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar.

  • 2+ years of professional experience in C++ and Python, ideally within high-performance environments.

  • Knowledge of distributed systems and network programming; experience with C++ template metaprogramming is a plus.

  • A keen interest in trading technology and a readiness to tackle complex challenges.

    If you’re a UK citizen with industry-specific experience and a desire to dive into quantitative trading systems, this role offers exposure to all areas of the firm and an environment where innovative ideas thrive. Apply today to join a team at the forefront of financial technology
