Job Opportunity: Senior Software Engineer
I'm currently partnering with a high-performing FX trading technology team looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer to help build and evolve the next generation of their real-time trading platform.
This is an opportunity to work on technology that sits at the heart of a global trading business, building highly scalable, low-latency systems that process millions of events and market data updates every day.
The role offers a genuine mix of high-performance backend engineering and modern front-end development, giving you the opportunity to work across distributed services, real-time data platforms, and Angular applications used directly by traders and business users.
When market volatility increases, trade volumes can spike within seconds, so the platform must remain fast, resilient, and fault-tolerant under extreme load. You'll be solving challenging engineering problems around scalability, concurrency, messaging, and performance in an environment where technology is a real competitive advantage.
