Senior Software Engineer - FX & Commodity Trading

Who we are:
We are the engineering team behind the world's largest over-the-counter (OTC) electronic trading (ET) platform encompassing commodities and currencies. Our platform provides end-to-end solutions across the trading life cycle so traders can connect more successfully to the global trading markets - all in one place.

We are constantly building out systems to support continuous automation and "electronification" of commodity and currency markets, which will further raise the bar allowing our clients to interact and transact in new and innovative ways. If you are passionate about working with a diverse team in delivering high quality software in a fast-paced client-driven environment, this is a great place for you!

Our tech stack:

• Most of our system is written in C++ and Python on Linux and the occasional UI work is done in JavaScript, so you'll have the opportunity to work across the full stack
• We put emphasis on doing things right, so you'll be using industry best practices for testing, automation, and CI/CD (CMake, Google Tests, Pytest, Jenkins, Git etc.)
• We rely heavily on database technologies such as PostgreSQL/Citus and internal database solutions (recently open sourced Comdb2)
• We work with Kafka and similar internal message queuing solutions

We'll trust you to:

• Solve challenging problems as we expand further into the automation world while maintaining the speed and accuracy needed of a trading platform
• Work on a complete tech stack to deliver client facing products
• Build more analytical and observability tools to improve transparency into our distributed system
• Work in a highly collaborative environment where teamwork is the key to success
• Learn and influence how the financial markets operate by working closely with product managers and clients

You'll need to have:

• 4+ years working with an object-oriented programming language such as C/C++, Python, Java, or Javascript
• A Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, similar field of study or equivalent work experience
• Ability to work in a fast paced environment using agile methodologies
• An understanding of Computer Science fundamentals such as data structures and algorithms, as well as CI, CD and unit testing
• Prior contributions to system design and architecture and scaling fault-tolerant, distributed systems

We'd love to see:

• Experience with multi-threading and asynchronous event-driven programming
• Experience with high volume, high availability distributed systems
• Experience working in a UNIX or Linux development environment
• Familiarity with productivity tools such as Jenkins and Splunk
