Job Description:

VP, Algo / Smart Order Router Developer | London

I’m working with a leading electronic trading business seeking an experienced Algo Developer to help build the next generation of execution and routing technology.

This is a genuinely greenfield opportunity where you’ll play a key role designing and developing institutional‑grade execution algorithms and Smart Order Routing capabilities from the ground up.

The role:

  • Design and develop low‑latency EMS and Smart Order Routing infrastructure
  • Build intelligent execution algorithms across fragmented liquidity venues
  • Optimise routing decisions based on liquidity, latency, execution quality, and cost
  • Partner closely with traders and product teams
  • Support performance tuning and production trading environments

Requirements:

  • Experience building execution algorithms or Smart Order Routers
  • Deep understanding of electronic trading architecture
  • Market data, exchange connectivity, and order lifecycle expertise
  • Strong knowledge of concurrency, networking, and performance optimisation
  • Experience across FX, electronic trading, market connectivity, or digital markets is particularly relevant.

London-based.

Interested in speaking with engineers who have built rather than simply supported execution technology.
