LMAX is renowned for its high-performance, ultra-low latency (measured in microseconds) exchange written in core Java. We are committed to advancing technology, especially in our greenfield projects, and aim to drive the financial industry forward.
We believe finance will be tokenised through blockchain technologies. Our goal is to be at the forefront of this movement, collaborating with institutions to build efficient, regulated, and fair markets. Over the past year, we have grown from a single developer to a small team, successfully building a new trading solution that combines the best of centralised liquidity and decentralised security, now live on public blockchains. Our vision extends beyond this, requiring us to expand into multiple teams as we shape the future of finance. Our roadmap is heavily developer-driven, allowing significant influence on project direction.
Developers are encouraged to continuously learn new skills. We support growth through pair programming, which fosters knowledge sharing. Fridays are dedicated to personal development, where you can explore new languages, research cutting-edge technologies, or develop innovative projects in finance. We also prioritize improving developer experience and reducing technical debt.
Our culture of continuous integration and testing ensures confidence in our builds and rapid development. We've developed a suite of tools to support this, utilizing our dynamic tech stack. Continuous Delivery was pioneered at LMAX, emphasizing direct pushes to our monorepo with a "revert first, ask questions later" approach, facilitated by pair programming and testing.
