- Work closely with traders, portfolio managers, risk teams, and other key stakeholders.
What We’re Looking For - Strong Java development experience within financial or trading systems.
- Solid experience with multithreaded and concurrent programming, including lock-free algorithms.
- A strong understanding of distributed systems design and development.
- Experience building scalable, reliable, and performance-critical applications.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- The ability to perform effectively in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
- Exposure to low-latency programming techniques would be highly advantageous.
- Experience with C#, C++, React, or other programming languages would be beneficial.
- Applicants must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, as visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
