About the Role

This is a rare opportunity to design and build greenfield infrastructure with zero legacy constraints, in an ultra-low-latency, high-performance environment demanding zero downtime. You'll be working at the heart of a systematic trading business, shaping the technology that drives real trading decisions across global markets.
