Overview
Technical Lead Java Low Latency Engineers required to help build the next generation of ultra-low latency eTrading and pricing platforms within a leading Front Office FX technology environment.
This is a true Front Office engineering role working directly with trading, quant, and pricing teams on systems operating in the microsecond and millisecond space.
Responsibilities
- Ultra low latency Java development
- FX eTrading and pricing systems
- Garbage Collection optimisation and JVM tuning
- High-performance concurrent programming
- Microsecond/millisecond latency reduction
- Messaging technologies such as Aeron, Kafka, JMS or Solace
- Market data and real-time distributed systems
- Linux performance tuning and systems engineering
- Modern low latency architectures and microservices
- Profiling, benchmarking and performance engineering
- Building and modernising high throughput trading platforms
The role is hands-on and suited to engineers who enjoy solving complex performance challenges, deep diving into codebases, and working on business-critical trading infrastructure at scale.
You'll be joining a highly invested engineering environment focused on modern technology, performance optimisation, and next-generation electronic trading systems.
Strong Front Office experience and the ability to work closely with traders and quantitative teams is highly desirable.
If interested, please reach out directly for a confidential discussion.
