  • Partner with technology and business stakeholders to shape the engineering roadmap.
  • Diagnose and resolve critical production incidents, performing root‑cause analysis and preventive improvements.
  • Evaluate and promote emerging technologies, including AI‑assisted tools, to enhance engineering efficiency.
  • Ensure systems are resilient, highly available, and fault‑tolerant.
  • Support 24/7 production environments with minimal downtime.
  • Drive performance optimization for scalability, reliability, and low latency.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology, or related field.
  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, including high‑performance Java development.
  • Hands‑on experience building and supporting multithreaded, distributed, real‑time trading systems.
  • Proven track record leading technical design and architectural decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and influence engineering standards.
  • Strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and distributed‑system design.
  • Expertise optimizing applications for performance, scalability, reliability, and latency.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with cross‑functional stakeholders.
  • Experience with Linux environments, scripting, network programming, and relational databases (e.g., Oracle).
  • Background in electronic order handling, FIX protocol, and market‑data processing is a plus.

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.
