The role:

• Design and develop low‑latency EMS and Smart Order Routing infrastructure
• Build intelligent execution algorithms across fragmented liquidity venues
• Optimise routing decisions based on liquidity, latency, execution quality, and cost
• Partner closely with traders and product teams
• Support performance tuning and production trading environments

Requirements:

• Experience building execution algorithms or Smart Order Routers
• Deep understanding of electronic trading architecture
• Market data, exchange connectivity, and order lifecycle expertise
