  • Integrate exchange, broker, market-data, and RFQ connectivity.
  • Develop reusable trading services and desk tools for market data, fair value, order management, risk controls, automation, and workflow integration.

  • Create simulation, replay, monitoring, and diagnostic capabilities using application, market, and packet-level data.
  • Own production readiness and support, including testing, deployment, observability, incident analysis, and continuous improvement of live trading systems.
  • Apply AI-assisted development tools to accelerate implementation, testing, documentation, and code quality while adhering to engineering and security standards.
  • Enable new ETFs, venues, trading workflows, and asset structures through scalable configuration and platform enhancements.
  • Partner with traders, engineering, technology, operations, and control functions to translate desk priorities into reliable, compliant production solutions.

  • Experience developing electronic trading algorithms, low-latency systems, real-time applications, or other performance-sensitive software.
  • Knowledge of electronic trading workflows, market data, order lifecycles, and protocols such as FIX or venue-native interfaces.
  • Understanding of ETFs, market structure, pricing, execution, hedging, and risk management across one or more related asset types.
  • Experience with Linux, source control, automated testing, CI/CD, observability, performance analysis, and production diagnostic tooling.
  • Ability to analyze large market and trading datasets and translate findings into reliable engineering solutions.
  • Effective use of AI-assisted development tools, with sound judgment around validation, security, and software quality.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills in a fast-paced trading environment.
  • Post-secondary degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Finance, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
