About the role

We are seeking a Senior Quantitative Developer to join the team building a core, ultra-low-latency trading system. You will work on the pricing and order-handling logic that drives trading economics at scale. This is a hands-on engineering role embedded within a high-performance, deterministic trading system, working closely with traders, risk, and quant researchers to translate trading logic into production-grade, low-latency code.

What they're looking for

  • 6+ years of professional software development experience, including significant time in a senior or lead capacity
  • Strong background in quantitative or financial domains—pricing models, market microstructure, order matching, or trading systems
  • Proven experience building and maintaining low-latency, high-throughput production systems
  • Deep understanding of concurrency, memory management, and performance optimization in a JVM-based language
  • Experience designing for determinism and reproducibility in systems where correctness and auditability are critical
  • Solid grounding in numerical precision and decimal/fixed-point arithmetic, particularly relevant to financial calculations
