Job Description
Role Summary
We are seeking a Trading Systems Engineer to design and build the next generation of trading infrastructure for our systematic and discretionary trading businesses.
The role focuses on developing robust order management systems, execution platforms, market-data infrastructure, risk controls, and trader-facing applications that operate reliably in live markets.
Unlike traditional software development roles, success in this position is measured by the ability to build resilient, scalable, and production-ready trading systems rather than simply writing application code.
The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with a deep understanding of real-time systems, distributed architectures, and electronic trading workflows.
Trading Infrastructur
• eDesign and build production-grade OMS and EMS systems
• .Develop exchange connectivity and broker integration layers
• .Build order routing and execution frameworks
• .Design systems capable of handling high message throughput with deterministic behavior
• .Implement robust recovery mechanisms for market interruptions, broker outages, and system failures
.Execution Algorithm
• sDevelop and maintain semi-automated execution algorithms
• .Build smart order routing and execution scheduling tools
• .Create trader-assist workflows for execution monitoring and intervention
• .Implement execution analytics and transaction cost analysis frameworks
.Market Data System
• sBuild and maintain real-time market-data pipelines
• .Develop systems for ingestion, normalization, aggregation, and storage of market data
• .Ensure low-latency dissemination of data across internal systems
• .Design historical tick-data storage and retrieval infrastructure
.Risk & Control
• sImplement pre-trade and post-trade risk controls
• .Develop position monitoring and exposure management systems
• .Build automated alerts, kill switches, and circuit-breaker frameworks
• .Ensure auditability and compliance of trading workflows
.Reliability & Production Engineerin
• gBuild observability frameworks including monitoring, logging, alerting, and diagnostics
• .Improve system resiliency, failover mechanisms, and disaster recovery processes
• .Participate in production support and incident response
• .Continuously optimize performance, scalability, and operational robustness
.Trader-Facing Tool
• sDevelop dashboards and applications used by traders and portfolio managers
• .Build monitoring systems for orders, executions, positions, risk, and P&L
• .Improve workflow automation across trading operations
