London | Hybrid

I’m working with a highly successful quantitative trading firm that’s looking for a Software Engineer to join their Trading Technology team in London.

This is an opportunity to build technology at the heart of a real-time, multi-asset trading platform used across global markets. You’ll work on software that enables trading operations, monitoring and diagnostics, helping to shape the future of a platform relied upon by traders, researchers and engineers every day.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll have genuine ownership, working on both backend services and user-facing applications while collaborating with world-class engineers across multiple international offices.

What you’ll be doing

• Developing high-performance applications using C# and .NET

• Building and improving a real-time trading platform

• Designing intuitive user experiences using modern frontend technologies

• Taking ownership of core monitoring and control systems

• Collaborating with trading, engineering and research teams to deliver technical solutions

• Driving engineering best practices across development, testing and deployment

What they’re looking for

• Commercial software engineering experience

• Strong knowledge of C# or another strongly typed language such as Java, Kotlin, C++ or Rust

• Experience with JavaScript and modern frontend frameworks such as React or Angular

• Comfortable working across both backend and frontend development

• Experience building scalable, high-performance applications

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

• An interest in financial markets or quantitative trading is beneficial but not essential

Why apply?

• Join a world-class quantitative trading environment

• Work on highly complex, business-critical technology

• High levels of ownership and technical autonomy

• Collaborative engineering culture with exceptional colleagues

• Excellent salary and benefits package

If you’re interested in building software that directly powers global trading systems, I’d be happy to tell you more.
