Senior Java EFX Platform Developer
Location: Fully Remote (UK-based)
Contract: 12 Months (likely extension)
Industry: Investment Banking / FX E-Trading
The Opportunity
We're partnering with a leading investment bank on a major greenfield build - a brand-new, in-house FX E-Trading platform. This multi-year programme is at an early stage, offering the chance to help shape architecture, performance, and design from the ground up.
Join a team of experienced technologists delivering a modern, low-latency trading environment - all while working fully remotely from anywhere in the UK.
Why This Role Stands Out
* 💻 Fully Remote (UK) - No commute, no relocation - collaborate virtually with a high-calibre global team.
* 🕓 12-Month Initial Contract - Long-term engagement with strong potential for extension.
* 🚀 Greenfield Build - Influence architecture, design, and key technical decisions from the outset.
* ⚙️ High-Performance Systems - Develop low-latency, multi-threaded Java components in a front-office trading environment.
The Role
As a Senior Java Developer, you'll design, develop, and optimise core components of a next-generation FX E-Trading platform, including:
* Pricing and distribution
* Auto-hedging
* Market intelligence and reporting
* Integration with existing trading infrastructure
You'll collaborate closely with other senior developers, architects, and business stakeholders in a highly agile and delivery-focused environment.
Key Skills & Experience
* 10+ years' experience as a Java Developer in investment banking
* 4+ years' experience working on FX Cash, Options, or E-Trading systems
* Strong expertise in:
o Core Java / Server-Side Java
o Low-latency, multi-threaded programming
o SQL and data modelling
o Agile object-oriented design principles
* Solid knowledge of FX cash products
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Desirable
* Experience with real-time pricing, risk, or order management systems
* Exposure to electronic trading and front-office environments
If you're an experienced Java developer seeking a long-term remote contract and the chance to contribute to a high-impact greenfield trading platform, we'd love to hear from you.
