Technical Lead - Low Latency Java Engineer - Greenfield
London | 4 Days Onsite
We're partnered with a technology-driven trading and market infrastructure business building the next generation of high-performance exchange systems.
This is an opportunity to join a small, highly specialised engineering group responsible for some of the most performance-critical components across the platform, including matching engine technology, market data distribution, order entry infrastructure and ultra-low latency messaging systems.
The environment is genuinely greenfield. Rather than maintaining legacy platforms, you'll help design, build and optimise core components from the ground up, working on systems where performance is measured in microseconds and, in some cases, below.
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.
