Build the engine behind a $trillions-per-day market


This isn't another backend Java role.

This is about sitting on the critical path of FX pricing, where microseconds matter, decisions are real-time, and your code directly impacts global trading performance.

You'll be working inside one of the largest FX franchises in the world, engineering ultra-low latency pricing systems used by traders, quants, and clients across every major currency pair.



What makes this role different

1. True low latency engineering - not just 'event-driven' on paper
2. Front-office exposure - direct interaction with traders & quants
3. High-impact systems - pricing engines, market data, execution flows
4. Modernisation at scale - re-architecting legacy into high-performance, distributed systems
5.
