Java Developer Algorithmic Trading Systems - to 215k + bonus

We are seeking a skilled Java Developer to join our front-office technology team and contribute to the design and implementation of low-latency, algorithmic trading systems. In this role, you will be responsible for building and optimizing real-time trading algorithms, smart order routers, and pricing engines in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. You'll collaborate closely with traders, quants, and other technologists to deliver scalable, resilient, and high-throughput solutions for electronic trading.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and deploy low-latency Java applications for electronic and algorithmic trading

  • Implement trading algorithms including TWAP, VWAP, arbitrage, spread-based strategies, and auto-hedging logic

  • Work on the full software development lifecycle: requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, deployment, and support

  • Collaborate with quantitative analysts and traders to translate trading ideas into production-ready code

  • Optimize performance using advanced Java concurrency, lock-free programming, and efficient memory management

  • Integrate with market data feeds, order management systems (OMS), smart order routers (SOR), and exchange connectivity gateways

  • Develop microservices and APIs using Spring Boot, gRPC, or RESTful architecture

  • Leverage messaging systems like Kafka, JMS, or MQ for high-throughput data processing

  • Ensure code quality through unit testing, integration testing, and CI/CD pipelines

  • Monitor and support production systems to ensure high availability and low-latency execution

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in core Java development, preferably in financial services or trading systems

  • Strong understanding of algorithmic trading concepts and market microstructure

  • Experience with Java multithreading, concurrency, virtual threads, and performance tuning

  • Familiarity with smart order routing, market data processing, and FIX protocols

  • Experience with Spring Boot, Kafka, and microservices architecture

  • Working knowledge of Linux/Unix, scripting, and container technologies like Docker/Kubernetes

  • Familiarity with low-latency programming, garbage collection tuning, and profiling tools

  • Good understanding of SQL and experience with databases (Oracle, KDB+, or similar)
