About TradingHub

Founded in 2010, we have grown from a united vision shared between two people to a team of over 140 across London, Toronto, New York and Singapore. We have achieved scale by building the best-in-class surveillance tooling, where our analytics bring the front office risk mindset to the compliance function.

Though we have developed in the trade surveillance arena, we have always been more than that. At heart, we are a finance-focused big data firm. Our goal is to continue creating the world’s leading financial markets analytics platform.

The Role

We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer (VP) to lead and manage our Calculation Framework team in London. This team provides the underlying data runtime, batch and frameworks which allow our customers to select and customise their analytics. This is a technical position that will involve maintaining a low-level stack, as well as designing the next iteration.

Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of computers at the low level, including database engine design and parallel computing to create highly scalable computing power.

Responsibilities:

  • Enhance our groundbreaking big data processing runtime, building out its capabilities and improving its performance
  • Manage and develop a team of software engineers, setting clear goals aligned with business priorities
  • Create a financial analytics 'app store' as part of our self-service approach to metrics
  • Identify underlying production issues, leveraging knowledge and experience to suggest actionable solutions
  • Collaborate with other teams across engineering as well as cross-functionally
  • Partner with external stakeholders to design our services, demonstrating the highest levels of professionalism throughout

Requirements

Main Skills/Competencies:

  • Proven software engineering ability using C#, C++ or Java
  • Keen interest in low-level computing e.g. memory management, pointers, compilers
  • Experience leading and developing high-performing teams
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
  • Passionate about building highly performant and scalable solutions
  • Happy designing from scratch using first principles as well as off-the-shelf technologies
  • Experience of cloud-native software development
  • Keen interest or experience working in the financial services industry

Desirable Skills/Experience:

  • Experience with modern C# frameworks such as .NET 8
  • AWS e.g. S3, EC2, ECS

Don’t tick every single requirement? Research shows that candidates from under-represented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet all the criteria. We are dedicated to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace, so if this role excites you, please don't let our specification hold you back. Get in touch!
