This is not a bank. Not a consultancy. Not sell‑side tech.
We’re hiring a Java Engineer to join a small, elite engineering team inside a buyside FX trading firm building proprietary systems that directly trade capital.
Your code won’t feed dashboards or client portals — it will sit at the heart of a live trading engine, influencing execution, performance, and real P&L.
True buyside environment — engineers build systems that move money
This is a rare chance to step inside a trading business at a critical build phase.
What You’ll Be Working On
* Core trading infrastructure
* Order Management System (OMS)
* Execution Management System (EMS)
* Strategy management components
* Internal analytics & observability
* Performance metrics
* Monitoring & dashboards
* Cloud & DevOps foundations
* AWS infrastructure
* CI/CD pipelines
* Monitoring & alerting
No front‑end, no React, no fluff.
This is backend + infrastructure engineering in a production trading environment.
Who This Is For
We’re looking for a junior–mid level Java engineer who can:
* Pick up tickets independently
* Write clean, production‑ready code
* Deliver without constant oversight
This is not a senior or architectural role — you won’t own trading logic or redesign systems. You’ll work closely with a Senior Java Engineer and Lead Quant, focused on execution and delivery.
Must‑Have Skills
* Strong Java
* Spring Boot
* REST API development
* Solid understanding of performance, reliability, and production systems
* AWS (EC2, S3)
* Docker / Kubernetes
* Terraform
* CI/CD pipelines
* Prometheus & Grafana
* Low‑latency or performance‑sensitive systems
If you want your engineering work to directly shape a live trading system — not just another internal platform — this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that
