ETrading Developer

Project description

Client is establishing a next-generation electronic trading and market-making platform across assets classes – Rates, Credit, and FX , with capabilities spanning in-house pricing, real-time distribution, and straight-through processing (STP).We are seeking a Senior Electronic Trading Engineer to design and build low-latency, event-driven trading systems that integrate market data, pricing libraries, and execution venues, enabling real-time streaming, execution, and risk-aware trade processing.

This is a front-office technology role, working closely with traders, quants, and platform teams.

• Key Accountabilities
  1. Platform Engineering & Architecture
• Design and implement high-performance, low-latency trading applications
• Build event-driven architecture supporting:o Market data ingestiono Pricing orchestrationo Real-time price streaming
• Develop systems capable of high throughput and deterministic latency performance
  2. Pricing & Quant Integration
• Integrate quantitative pricing libraries into real-time trading flows
• Work with quant teams to:o Productionize pricing modelso Optimize models for latency-sensitive environments
• Implement pricing services / APIs consumable by distribution channels
  3. Market Data & Distribution
• Integrate with market data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv)
• Build low-latency market data handlers for:o Tick processingo Normalizationo Internal distribution
• Enable real-time price streaming to external/internal clients
  4. Execution & Venue Connectivity
• Implement connectivity to:o Trading venues (ECNs, MTFs, dealers) o Internal/external liquidity sources
• Develop:o Order routing logico Execution workflows (RFQ, streaming, DMA)
• Support low-latency order lifecycle management
  5. STP & Trade Processing
• Ensure integration with:o Trade capture systems (e.g., Murex) o Risk and downstream processing platforms
• Build real-time STP pipelines ensuring:o Accuracyo Resilienceo Auditability
  6. Performance Optimization
• Continuously optimize:o Latencyo Throughputo Resource utilization
• Apply advanced techniques:o Concurrency / multithreadingo Memory optimizationo Network tuning
• Ensure systems meet strict latency SLAs typical of trading environments
  7. Collaboration & Delivery
• Work closely with:o Front Office (trading, sales) o Quantitative research teamso Infrastructure and production support
• Participate in Full SDLC design build test deploy support
• Contribute to architecture decisions and platform evolution

• 10+ years exp in capital markets technology
• Minimum 7+ years exp in electronic trading platform development
• Experience in:
  Cross-asset trading platforms, Pricing frameworks (FX, Rates, Credit derivatives)
