• Trading, market data and execution systems
• Real-time, event-driven architectures
• Distributed systems and messaging
• Performance optimisation and concurrency
• Internal tooling and platforms supporting quantitative research
• Designing robust, scalable software in a highly performance-sensitive environment

We’re interested in software engineers who have:

• Strong commercial experience with C# and .NET
