Up to SGD $2,000,000 total package. Full relocation. Greenfield architecture. This is one of the most senior technology mandates in APAC right now.
We are mandated by a Singapore-based proprietary trading firm operating across CeFi, DeFi and traditional markets to find an exceptional Head of Trading Technology.
This is not a management role for someone who has drifted from the keyboard. They want a principal-level architect and builder, someone who has spent a decade or more inside elite HFT and systematic trading environments and who now leads with the same hands-on depth that made them exceptional as an individual engineer.
The role:
- You will own the architecture and technical direction of the firm's full trading infrastructure — execution, OMS, market connectivity, risk systems and research platforms — and lead a high-calibre team of eight engineers.
- This is greenfield work. Your architectural decisions will define how the platform is built for the next decade.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What they are looking for:
- 10–15 years inside Tier 1 HFT, systematic prop or crypto market-making firms
- Principal engineer or architect-level depth — you have built systematic trading platforms from scratch
- Ultra-low-latency expertise across the full stack: kernel, network layer through to application-level optimisation
- C++ or Rust — non-negotiable
- Player-manager — technically engaged, not purely a manager
- Based in Singapore or genuinely ready to relocate — full relocation package including family

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why this role:
- SGD $1.2M–$2M total package plus stock options — top of market for APAC technology leadership
- Greenfield opportunity at a firm where your decisions have real and immediate P&L impact
- Operating across both traditional and on-chain markets — 20 years of HFT pedigree applied to a genuinely new frontier
- Singapore — Asia's leading hub for systematic and digital asset trading, exceptional quality of life and tax environment
- Backgrounds ideally from proprietary trading or Hedge Fund are strongly encouraged.
