About the role

This is not a bank. Not a consultancy. Not sell‑side tech.

We’re hiring a Java Engineer to join a small, elite engineering team inside a buyside FX trading firm building proprietary systems that directly trade capital.

Your code won’t feed dashboards or client portals — it will sit at the heart of a live trading engine, influencing execution, performance, and real P&L.


True buyside environment — engineers build systems that move money

This is a rare chance to step inside a trading business at a critical build phase.


What You’ll Be Working On

  • Core trading infrastructure
  • Order Management System (OMS)
  • Execution Management System (EMS)
  • Strategy management components
  • Internal analytics & observability
  • Performance metrics
  • Monitoring & dashboards
  • Cloud & DevOps foundations
  • AWS infrastructure
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Monitoring & alerting

No front‑end, no React, no fluff.

This is backend + infrastructure engineering in a production trading environment.


Who This Is For

We’re looking for a junior–mid level Java engineer who can:

  • Pick up tickets independently
  • Write clean, production‑ready code
  • Deliver without constant oversight

This is not a senior or architectural role — you won’t own trading logic or redesign systems. xwzovoh You’ll work closely with a Senior Java Engineer and Lead Quant, focused on execution and delivery.


Must‑Have Skills

  • Strong Java
  • Spring Boot
  • REST API development
  • Solid understanding of performance, reliability, and production systems
  • AWS (EC2, S3)
  • Docker / Kubernetes
  • Terraform
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Prometheus & Grafana
  • Low‑latency or performance‑sensitive systems


If you want your engineering work to directly shape a live trading system — not just another internal platform — this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that
