Senior Java Developer (low latency)

Investment Bank

£125,000 + bonus + benefits

City, London    

A global investment bank is seeking a Java developer with experience in a low latency environment to join their small front office FX trading team.

This is a high availability, multithreaded Java platform that’s being managed by an Agile development team who are responsible for: client onboarding, streaming data services, algorithmic trading, RFQs and asset allocation services.

The beauty of this team is the small size and therefore the broad range of exposure it offers – if you’re used to working in a very large bank with a narrow remit, this could represent the perfect move.

As well as constant improvements to the algo trading platform, there are a number of new initiatives to get involved with including a new single-dealer platform and SoR capabilities.

To be considered for this role you should have:

• Strong Java knowledge
• Experience of low latency, high availability systems
• Bonus points for exposure to rea-time market data and FX order execution

You will be rewarded with a excellent salary package and the chance to work in an environment that isn’t typical of many banks – highly collaborative with a genuine team spirit and desire to improve each other.
