Engineer, Operations Technology

ROLE OVERVIEW



Are you a software engineer with a passion for technology and a knack for solving complex problems? Join our dynamic team in Singapore as an Engineer, where you'll play a pivotal role in designing, building, testing, deploying, and maintaining our critical trade management system. Our primary development is in Rust, and you'll also work with and support C#/.NET components where appropriate.



We are leveraging Rust to maximize throughput and reliability, minimize memory usage, and ultimately reduce compute and memory costs across our AWS environment (including serverless workloads). You'll work on distributed systems and high-volume processing, collaborating with talented engineers across the globe.




WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Innovate and Enhance: Design and build Rust-based, multithreaded, high-volume trade flow processing systems.


• Interoperate: Integrate with existing C#/.NET services and contribute to those codebases as needed.


• Performance & Cost: Profile and optimize latency, memory usage, and resource footprints to reduce AWS costs.


• Decision Making: Make independent decisions while effectively mitigating risks.


• Ownership Mentality: Take full ownership of all aspects of our trade management systems.


• Fast-Paced Environment: Thrive in a fast-paced setting, balancing second-line support with strategic development responsibilities.


• Global Collaboration: Work closely with engineers in the UK, Poland, New York, and Hong Kong to deliver robust solutions.

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in a formal enterprise-level development environment.


• Technical Skills:
  
  
  
  • Strong expertise in Rust/ JAVA/ C# (async/await, concurrency, memory/ownership model, multi-threaded programming) and solid software design skills.
  
  
  • Able to use C# and .NET Core to read, support, and contribute to .NET services where needed.
  
  
  • Proven experience in building connected, service-oriented applications (e.g., REST/gRPC, microservices).
  
  
  • 5+ years' experience with enterprise messaging systems (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS).
  
  
  • Experience with AWS, including serverless technologies (e.g., Lambda) and an understanding of how performance and memory optimizations translate to cost savings.
  
  


• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas clearly to various audiences.


• DevOps Knowledge: Experience with JIRA, Git, Jenkins, and Octopus Deploy.

• Agile Development: Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies and best practices.


• Test-Driven Development: Experience with behavior-driven and test-driven development approaches; exposure to Rust testing frameworks such as proptest or quickcheck would be advantageous.


• Full-Stack Development: Working knowledge of modern web and mobile development frameworks, including React.js and Angular.


• Financial Markets Knowledge: Understanding of the FIX protocol and Microsoft SQL Server, along with familiarity with U.S. and international equities, fixed income, and commodity markets.


• Post-Trade Lifecycle: Awareness of post-trade lifecycle processes and related operational workflows.

• Meaningful Impact: Play a key role in building and enhancing critical systems that support our trading operations.


• Career Development: Broaden your exposure to the business and operational aspects of trading and post-trade processing.


• Collaborative Culture: Join a high-performing, supportive team that values innovation, partnership, and continuous improvement.


• Global Connectivity: Work closely with engineering colleagues across the UK, Poland, New York, and Hong Kong.
