Contract duration: 12 months
Location: London (4 days onsite)
Pay: £750-1000/day (PAYE/Umbrella)
We’re seeking future team members for our Equities Engineering team in Execution Services Platform. (Note: We value T-shaped engineers — deep expertise in one discipline (backend or frontend) with broad familiarity across the stack is preferred over equal but shallow coverage of both)
Core Backend Proficiency
- Deep expertise in Java and the Spring ecosystem — including Spring Framework, Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Data, and ORM frameworks — with a strong focus on building production-grade, enterprise-scale services.
Frontend Development
- Proficiency in modern front-end technologies including Angular, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML/CSS, with working knowledge of jQuery and component-based UI architecture.
Impact of the Role
- Architecture & Design Leadership: Play a lead role in the design, architecture and implementation of trading, sales, and operations workflows, ensuring alignment with business goals and engineering best practices.
- Trade-Flow Platform Development: Design and build flexible, scalable trade-flow software capable of handling diverse client-side and OMS-side integration patterns and high-throughput scenarios.
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Product, Trading, Operations, and Engineering teams to translate complex business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions.
- Technology Innovation: Work alongside a cross-functional engineering team to evaluate and adopt emerging technologies, contributing to a modern, high-performance technology stack.
- AI-Driven Automation: Champion an AI-first mindset by driving automation initiatives, intelligent code refactoring, and the adoption of AI tooling to improve developer productivity and system efficiency.
- Engineering Excellence: Deliver well-designed, testable, secure, and performant code through hands-on programming, rigorous code reviews, and adherence to engineering standards.
- Production Support: Provide second-level production support, troubleshoot complex system issues, and contribute to incident resolution and post-mortem processes.
- Mentorship & Technical Leadership: Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, technical growth, and engineering craftsmanship.
