This isn’t just another dev role. It’s your chance to engineer the core of global trading.

We’re talking ultra-low-latency architectures, real-time market data, and automation at scale — all in an environment where milliseconds matter and billions move. You’ll work on greenfield and semi-greenfield projects, building FX (forex) trading workflows.

If you thrive on complexity, love solving performance challenges under pressure, and want to collaborate directly with traders and product teams at the sharp edge of financial technology — this is your arena.

The Role at a Glance

• Senior Java Backend Engineer

If you enjoy working on low-latency, high-throughput trading systems, join us and build the next generation of high-performance capital markets solutions.

Why Join Us?

• Work on a large-scale, low-latency trading system.


• No Legacy: Join an actively developed system — the engineers who built it originally are still on the team.


• Collaborate with a world-class team of developers across North America and Europe.


• Enjoy the stability of a long-term, fully remote role that only a bank can offer.

A successful candidate will be a very strong programmer with current Java development experience. They must also be curious, open-minded, and desire to learn new things. English proficiency is a must.

This role is for developers who excel at programming core Java from the ground up, not just integrating frameworks or APIs. If you’re fascinated by understanding systems ‘under the hood,’ this role is for you. Successful candidates enjoy geeking out about data structures and debugging application performance issues.

• 1st-tier work: This is not a technical support or legacy maintenance role. The system is functional and is actively being built and you will take part in updating it. The people who built the system are still part of the team.


• Long-term commitment: This is not a fixed-scope or fixed-term outsourcing role; we value people who want to grow and contribute long-term.


• Flexibility & remote work: Fully remote position based in Poland with increasing schedule flexibility post-onboarding.
