Company can provide a superior foundation for building a professional career - a place for people to learn, to achieve and grow.

Team Profile:
Listed Sales and Trading is seeking an experienced professional to lead the development of the data platform for the group.

You will need to have strong prior experience in the given space, showing clear understanding of the technical and business needs for all the consumers of the system in different parts of the firm, and will be managing the programme of work with junior and seasoned developers both in London and across multiple locations on the globe to provide a good level of support in all locations.
You will also need to have a strong proven track record for gathering requirements and managing staff both locally and remotely. Many stakeholders are located in London, and you will also be expected to contribute to the wider agenda of the team, which is to manage orders for listed securities worldwide.

The role involves technical requirement analysis, design, hands-on development in C++ in a distributed architecture environment. An ideal candidate will have good knowledge of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented concepts, multithreading / synchronization issues, networking and a passion for applying these knowledge to solve business problems. The successful candidate is expected to work with the colleagues around the globe and hence excellent English communication (verbal and written) is a must.
The candidate will lead EU backend development and work closely with our business partners in MSET to deliver first-class solution for our electronic clients. We are looking for an innovative mind who will deliver on desk requirements and at the same time improve our platforms. We have a best-in-class electronic trading platform which we are continuously improving around latency, scalability, supportability, breadth of products supported.
Our systems are primarily written in C++. We use python extensively and are running on Linux. While C++ expertise is not a must - this is a hands-on full stack technical role – so coding will be part of the job day in day out.
