About the Role
I’m currently working with a London-based trading technology team looking to hire a Senior Engineer within their Data Platform team. This role focuses on scaling a real-time platform powering high-volume trading systems.
Unlike a typical backend engineering position, this role sits at the intersection of high-performance backend engineering and data platform architecture. You’ll be responsible for building distributed systems designed to process and stream massive volumes of trading data in real time.
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The FX trading firm operates in an environment where trading volumes can surge rapidly during market volatility. As such, this platform must remain extremely fast, resilient, and fault-tolerant under heavy pressure. The ideal candidate enjoys tackling complex, large-scale engineering challenges, with a focus on scalability, concurrency, and performance—particularly within event-driven and streaming architectures.
This isn’t just about building standard applications; it’s about solving real-world, high-stakes systems engineering problems.
