Job description

We are working with an ambitious crypto trading firm looking to hire a strong Java Developer to join its technology team, working closely with traders and quantitative researchers to develop and enhance its trading and pricing systems.

This is an opportunity for a software engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of technology and trading, translating trading ideas, pricing models and market-making strategies into production-ready systems in a fast-paced, high-pressure trading environment.

The Role

You will work directly with traders and quants, taking ownership of the development and implementation of trading-related technology. This could involve implementing volatility curves, enhancing pricing models, developing market-making strategies and building the systems that support real-time trading decisions.

The research environment makes extensive use of KDB/Q and Python, with Java being the primary language for production systems.

What We're Looking For
  1. Strong commercial Java development experience.
  2. Exposure to financial markets, trading or pricing systems.
  3. Experience working alongside traders, quantitative researchers or desk-facing teams.
  4. An understanding of pricing, market making or trading strategies.
  5. Experience in eFX perferred
  6. Experience in equities, ETFs or options would be particularly relevant.
  7. Exposure to KDB/Q and Python is beneficial, particularly within a quantitative research environment.
  8. An appreciation of performance and low-latency development practices is advantageous, but not essential.
Who Might Be a Good Fit?

We're particularly interested in Java developers with experience in:

  1. Client or market-making pricing systems.
  2. Trading algorithms and execution-related technology.
  3. Volatility modelling and options pricing.
  4. Desk-facing quantitative development.

We are also open to strong algorithmic or low-latency engineers looking to move closer to the trading side of the business, provided their experience involves solving live trading problems rather than purely post-trade processing or overnight batch systems.

The key is strong Java, an interest in trading, and the ability to work in a fast-moving environment where your code has a direct impact on trading activity.

If you're a Java developer looking to work closely with traders and quants in the exciting crypto markets, we'd be keen to hear from you.
