Why This Organisation

Our client is a leading digital asset partner empowering institutional clients to integrate digital assets into their portfolios. Since founding in 2017 they have successfully navigated three market cycles, building trusted partnerships and bridging institutional and crypto ecosystems at scale. They offer a comprehensive range of solutions spanning spot trading, fixed income strategies, vanilla options and bespoke structured products.

This is a tightly knit, high performance team that respects and listens to every member of staff. They focus on substance over form, if you can perform, you will be recognised and rewarded for it. Autonomy is high, bureaucracy is low and the environment is deliberately built to let strong engineers do their best work. They are also genuinely committed to the long term development of their people, not just getting the most out of them in the short term.

If you are an engineer who wants to work somewhere that trusts you, challenges you and rewards you properly for your output, this is worth a serious look.

The Role and What It Can Do For Your Career

This is a Software Engineer position working across the design, architecture and development of enterprise grade systems that support trading, operations and risk functions. You will build tools, reports and data feeds to fulfil business requirements from front office trading teams and work closely with Heads of business lines to ensure systems are properly implemented and effectively maintained.

The career value here is the domain. Working on systems that sit at the intersection of institutional finance and digital asset markets gives you exposure to genuinely complex, high stakes problems that most engineers never get near. The autonomy and ownership that comes with being part of a small, high calibre team means your decisions have real impact and your contributions are visible. That kind of environment accelerates development in ways that larger, more process heavy organisations simply cannot match.

What you will need:

• 2 or more years of experience working in a technical software engineering role
• Strong Java development skills with experience building enterprise or production grade systems
• Degree or postgraduate qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field from a recognised university
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to work across complex, data driven systems
• Comfortable working in a fast paced, high autonomy environment

Nice to Have:

• AWS certification or solid hands on AWS experience
• Exposure to financial services, fintech or digital asset environments
• Experience with trading systems, risk tooling or operational infrastructure

Why You Should Apply Now

Roles at the intersection of institutional finance and digital assets, with genuine autonomy, a collaborative culture and real room to grow, do not come up often. The salary reflects the calibre of engineer they are looking for and the standard they hold themselves to. This is a company that invests in its people and gives engineers the space to make a real impact from day one.

Salary up to £60,000. Flexible working arrangement.
