We are hiring a Senior Trading Systems Engineer for an international proprietary trading firm in Singapore.

You will work directly with traders and quantitative teams on high-performance, latency-sensitive systems that sit at the core of the trading business. The scope spans market data, exchange connectivity, execution, risk, and simulation, with ownership from design through production.

  • Strong experience in institutional Traditional Finance market-making/HFT, ideally within a buy-side or proprietary trading environment;
  • Experience integrating with exchange/broker APIs, order management systems, pricing and risk engines, and smart order routers;
  • Hands-on experience across several areas of trading infrastructure, such as market data and feed handlers, exchange connectivity, order and execution management, pricing and risk, or backtesting and simulation;
  • Strong low-latency performance tuning, profiling, monitoring, and debugging skills;
  • Strong end-to-end ownership and the ability to work closely with traders and quantitative teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Build and optimise low-latency, high-throughput trading systems;
  • Develop market data, exchange connectivity, and execution infrastructure;
  • Contribute to order management, pricing, risk, and simulation systems;
  • Work directly with traders and quantitative teams to bring trading requirements into production;
  • Own systems from design through production performance, reliability, and ongoing optimisation.

Nice-to-have Requirements:

  • Experience across Equities, Options, Futures, or FX.

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.
