Senior Java Engineer (~10+ YOE)

Systematic Quant Fund | London | Up to £275k Total Compensation


About the Role:

Join a highly collaborative, London-based engineering team focused on building cutting-edge, memory-sensitive trading infrastructure using Java. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a small, high-impact group, working at the intersection of technology and trading in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.


About the Company:

This leading systematic quant fund boasts a team of engineers and technologists with diverse experience from Big Tech, gaming, and trading industries. Together, they design, build, and maintain highly distributed systems tailored for algorithmic trading.


Finance experience is not required. If you have experience working on technically demanding systems where performance optimisation is critical, you could be a great fit. The firm provides flexible working arrangements, exceptional learning opportunities, and industry-leading compensation far above market rates.


Key Responsibilities:

As part of an elite Java Engineering team—including experts in JVM internals and performance optimisation—you’ll work on:

  • Enhancing system performance by collaborating with quants and computer scientists to optimise CPU/GPU utilisation within the JVM.
  • Developing real-time market data systems and bespoke tools for signal research.
  • Leveraging the latest versions of Java (no legacy tech) with advanced JVM features, garbage collection tuning, and tools like Gradle and Maven.


Requirements:

  • Strong expertise in Java, including knowledge of the latest versions and features.
  • Proven experience with distributed systems, data structures, and algorithm design.
  • A solid background in both low-level and high-level JVM optimisation.


Why Apply?

  • Flexible, high-impact role within a collaborative and supportive team.
  • Significant scope for growth, learning, and progression.
  • Competitive compensation up to £275k total, with flexibility and benefits.


We encourage applications even if you don’t meet all the listed requirements. As long as you have a strong academic background, a willingness to learn, and a passion for tackling technical challenges, we’d love to hear from you.


Note: If you don’t hear back within three days, your application was unfortunately not successful this time.
