Senior Java EFX Low Latency Platform Engineer

6 days ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom McGregor Boyall Full time £80,000 - £120,000 per year

Senior Java EFX Platform Developer

Location:
Fully Remote (UK-based)

Contract:
12 Months (likely extension)

Industry:
Investment Banking / FX E-Trading

The Opportunity

We're partnering with a leading investment bank on a
major greenfield build
- a brand-new, in-house
FX E-Trading platform
. This multi-year programme is at an early stage, offering the chance to help shape architecture, performance, and design from the ground up.

Join a team of experienced technologists delivering a
modern, low-latency trading environment
- all while working
fully remotely from anywhere in the UK.

Why This Role Stands Out

*
Fully Remote (UK)
- No commute, no relocation - collaborate virtually with a high-calibre global team.

*
12-Month Initial Contract
- Long-term engagement with strong potential for extension.

*
Greenfield Build
- Influence architecture, design, and key technical decisions from the outset.

*
High-Performance Systems
- Develop low-latency, multi-threaded Java components in a front-office trading environment.

The Role

As a
Senior Java Developer
, you'll design, develop, and optimise core components of a next-generation FX E-Trading platform, including:

* Pricing and distribution

* Auto-hedging

* Market intelligence and reporting

* Integration with existing trading infrastructure

You'll collaborate closely with other senior developers, architects, and business stakeholders in a highly agile and delivery-focused environment.

Key Skills & Experience

* 10+ years' experience as a Java Developer in investment banking

* 4+ years' experience working on
FX Cash, Options, or E-Trading
systems

* Strong expertise in:

o Core Java / Server-Side Java

o Low-latency, multi-threaded programming

o SQL and data modelling

o Agile object-oriented design principles

* Solid knowledge of
FX cash products
* Excellent communication and teamwork skills

Desirable

* Experience with real-time pricing, risk, or order management systems

* Exposure to electronic trading and front-office environments

If you're an experienced Java developer seeking a
long-term remote contract
and the chance to contribute to a
high-impact greenfield trading platform
, we'd love to hear from you.

Desired Skills and Experience
Core Java / Server-Side Java EFX Pricing Software Application Development
