Are you a skilled Java developer with a passion for financial markets and algorithmic trading? This is a rare opportunity to step into a front-office role where you'll work at the intersection of software development and quantitative trading. This is the ideal role if you thrive in a high-energy environment and want to build cutting-edge trading systems.
The Role:
As part of this high-performing team, you'll be responsible for designing, developing, and optimising algorithmic trading strategies. This isn't just about writing quick scripts-it's about building robust, production-grade systems that execute trades with precision and efficiency.
You'll collaborate closely with traders and quants, developing low-latency trading algorithms that operate across multiple asset classes, including FX, Equities, and potentially Rates and Credit. Given the front-office nature of this role, you'll be directly involved in shaping trading strategies, ensuring systems respond in real-time to market conditions.
What You'll Be Doing:
Developing and optimising trading algorithms with a focus on speed, efficiency, and reliability.
Building low-latency, high-throughput systems that can handle real-time market data and execution logic.
Working alongside traders and quants to fine-tune strategies and ensure seamless integration of technology into the trading workflow.
Enhancing and maintaining existing trading infrastructure, continuously improving performance and scalability.
Navigating a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, where milliseconds can make a significant impact on profitability.
What We're Looking For:
Candidates in the early stages of their career with Java development experience, ideally in a high-performance or real-time systems environment.
A strong interest in trading and financial markets, with a desire to be embedded in a front-office team.
Experience (or strong enthusiasm) for working with low-latency systems, preferably in FX or Equities, though other asset classes like Rates and Credit are also considered.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically under pressure.
A proactive, curious mindset with the ability to pick up new concepts quickly.
Why Apply?
Work in a front-office trading environment, gaining direct exposure to market-making and execution strategies.
Grow and develop-this role is ideal for someone looking to upskill in both software engineering and trading.
Join a firm where technology is a key competitive advantage, and innovation is encouraged.
Competitive compensation, strong mentorship, and career progression in a cutting-edge trading environment.
