Description & Requirements
FXGO is a premier trading platform that allows traders to buy and sell currencies (FX) 24/5. The FX market is the largest market in the world, with more than $7 trillion traded every day. Our platform is used by the industry’s biggest players in over 120 countries to trade hundreds of billions of dollars with each other every day. Our trading applications are distributed, fault-tolerant, highly transactional, and low-latency.
Our Team
The FXGO Lifecycle Core team is the foundational post-execution data engine of the entire platform. We own the foundational data layer of FXGO which is responsible for the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of trade data across its entire lifecycle.
While upstream teams build the specific trading workflows, our systems catch every single trade the millisecond it executes. We design, build, and scale the critical infrastructure responsible for real-time trade capture, robust distributed storage, and high-volume event distribution in a highly concurrent environment.
By owning the core post-trade data models and messaging pipelines, we are the trusted, event-driven source of truth that reliably feeds downstream business applications like straight-through processing (STP), billing, and regulatory reporting. Our goal is to ensure our backend infrastructure can seamlessly absorb and distribute data during extreme market volatility without bottlenecking the platform.
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.
The core engineering challenge here is moving massive volumes of events reliably between distributed systems while maintaining strict data correctness. No trade can be missed.
Who are you?
You are an engineer who thinks in terms of systems, infrastructure health, and scalability. This is an opportunity to engineer resilient systems and ensure absolute data correctness at the heart of one of Bloomberg's premier FX trading platforms.
You are someone who takes pride in true service ownership - you want to move beyond tactical feature delivery to build robust, long-term solutions. You are excited by the challenge of working across distributed data storage, real-time messaging pipelines, and the reliability of high-volume financial infrastructure.
