Description:
You will be encouraged to take ownership of and improve the software you work with. You will work directly with business stakeholders including operations, risk, infrastructure, finance, compliance, customer sales, onboarding, and support teams around the world. The role is primarily Golang coding, with some C#, in the AWS cloud, but we also have GCP and Azure components. You will also work with Python and possibly C++. We have ambitions to work with Rust and would be delighted if you find that interesting.

Initially, your software design and development effort will focus on the items listed in the Key Responsibilities section below, but once we’re in the maintenance phase you will work with other aspects of the business including infrastructure design and cost optimization, legacy API refactor/uplift/replacement, and financial reporting. In everything you do system security, performance, fault-tolerance, and availability are fundamental considerations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Integrating liquidity providers with bridge providers. (Don’t worry about the terminology if you’re not familiar with it. We’ll show you.)
• Collaborating with a team of fellow programmers to ensure best practices in producing clean code that is tested, secure and maintainable
• Integrating new trading platforms with internal systems and a partner-facing API, which you will help build.
• Assisting internal and external teams to diagnose and rectify problems with system integrations that you’ve done, we’ve done, and which we work with.

Selection criteria:
Essential:

• A minimum of 8 years’ professional experience with software development.
• 2-3 years of Golang development experience strongly preferred.
• Experience with or demonstrated understanding of fault-tolerant, critical information flows, such as trading systems, payment services, and/or financials.
• Curiosity, willingness to learn, and to document that learning.
• Ability to communicate clearly and professionally in writing.

Desired:

• Familiarity with cloud computing, especially AWS.
• C# or Python experience.
• C++ or Rust, noting that we have very little C++ and Rust is an aspiration.
• RDBMS experience, MySQL preferred. Query optimization and troubleshooting experience highly regarded.
• RESTful API design.
• Websockets, Golang implementations preferred.
• Trading systems, especially FIX protocol.
• Experience with or demonstrated interest in functional programming.
• Devops/devsecops experience highly regarded.
