A leading digital asset trading firm is seeking talented Software Engineer (Jnr up to Team Lead) to join their low-latency trading systems team. Operating across more than 10 global locations and connected to over 50 trading venues, they are one of the most active participants in the cryptocurrency markets—facilitating 3-4% of global daily trading volume.

The firm is known not just for its scale, but for its engineering-driven culture. They hire exceptional people and empower them to take ownership, move quickly, and solve meaningful problems.

• Design, implement, and optimize components of the firm’s low-latency trading infrastructure in C++ and Python
• Collaborate with traders, middle office, and engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions in both CeFi and DeFi environments
