Job description
About The Role :
We're looking for a Senior Trading Systems Developer (Automation Tooling) with a strong background in Java and Python to design and build next-generation testing and automation tools for our institutional trading platform.
This role is central to enabling automated validation of order lifecycles, venue connectivity, and low-latency behavior across our trading stack.
You'll work closely with strategy developers, support engineers, and QA to deliver a robust automation framework that improves developer velocity, system reliability, and test coverage for trading workflows.
Ideal candidates will have experience in OMS / EMS systems, deep knowledge of trading protocols like FIX, and a passion for building tools that bridge development and production operations.
What You'll Do :
Design and implement frameworks for automated testing of order entry, modification, routing, and risk logic.
Build tools in Java / Python or Rust to simulate and validate end-to-end trading workflows across low-touch and high-touch systems.
Develop self-service systems for trade simulation, venue behavior replay, and FIX protocol testing.
Work closely with front-office support and engineers to automate health checks, venue cert scripts, and regression test pipelines.
Integrate test harnesses with CI / CD pipelines for pre-deployment safety checks and latency monitoring.
Ensure systems are observable and fault-tolerant, with tooling that supports debugging and issue reproduction.
Support and extend test capabilities for WebSocket, REST, and FIX APIs used across exchanges and internal strategies.
What We're Looking For :
5+ years of experience building and testing distributed trading systems.
Strong proficiency in Java (11+) and Python for building automation frameworks, trading system test harnesses, and performance tuning tools; experience with Rust is a plus.
Experience with OMS / EMS platforms, ideally with exposure to order lifecycle, FIX messaging, and venue connectivity.
Familiarity with test automation frameworks and continuous integration practices.
Working knowledge of market structure, electronic trading workflows, and latency analysis.
Proficiency with scripting (e.g., Python, Shell) to support testing and monitoring automation.
Familiarity with high-performance messaging (e.g., Aeron, Chronicle, Kafka) and network debugging.
Bonus Points :
Experience building tools for exchange certification, regression harnesses, or FIX simulators.
Exposure to market-making systems, risk engines, or smart order routers.
Prior work in crypto or electronic trading in traditional finance.
