Technical Lead, Trading

I am working with a high-performance proprietary trading firm that is building the next generation of low-latency trading infrastructure across on-chain and off-chain markets.

We're looking for a hands-on Technical Lead to take ownership of the architecture, engineering and delivery of their core trading platform.

This is a role for someone who has operated at the sharp end of HFT / low-latency trading technology and wants the opportunity to build something genuinely new.

You will lead a team of elite Software Engineers, DevOps Engineers and Architects while remaining deeply technical yourself.

Day-to-day:

Designing and building a greenfield, high-performance trading platform

Owning architecture across market data, execution, risk and infrastructure

Tackling complex latency, performance and scalability challenges

Writing and reviewing critical production code

Leading, mentoring and growing a high-calibre engineering team

Working directly with traders and quants to translate trading strategies into technology

Driving engineering practices across testing, CI/CD, monitoring and operational excellence

Building an AI-native engineering environment and rethinking how the team designs, develops and delivers

Requirements:

Deep hands-on experience building low-latency HFT systems

Strong C++, Rust or equivalent high-performance programming experience

A genuine understanding of trading infrastructure from market data - execution - risk

Experience leading high-performing engineering teams

A track record of solving difficult performance and latency problems

The technical conviction to make and own major architectural decisions
