eTrading Developer - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates , Relocation friendly

Project description

Client is establishing a next-generation electronic trading and market-making platform across assets classes – Rates, Credit, and FX , with capabilities spanning in-house pricing, real-time distribution, and straight-through processing (STP).

We are seeking a Senior Electronic Trading Engineer to design and build low-latency, event-driven trading systems that integrate market data, pricing libraries, and execution venues, enabling real-time streaming, execution, and risk-aware trade processing.

This is a front-office technology role, working closely with traders, quants, and platform teams.

Responsibilities

Key Accountabilities

• Platform Engineering & Architecture
• Design and implement high-performance, low-latency trading applications
• Build event-driven architecture supporting:
• Market data ingestion
• Pricing orchestration
• Real-time price streaming
• Develop systems capable of high throughput and deterministic latency performance
• Pricing & Quant Integration
• Integrate quantitative pricing libraries into real-time trading flows
• Work with quant teams to:
• Productionize pricing models
• Optimize models for latency-sensitive environments
• Implement pricing services / APIs consumable by distribution channels
• Market Data & Distribution
• Integrate with market data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv)
• Build low-latency market data handlers for:
• Tick processing
• Normalization
• Internal distribution
• Enable real-time price streaming to external/internal clients
• Execution & Venue Connectivity
• Implement connectivity to:
• Trading venues (ECNs, MTFs, dealers)
• Internal/external liquidity sources
• Develop:
• Order routing logic
• Execution workflows (RFQ, streaming, DMA)
• Support low-latency order lifecycle management
• STP & Trade Processing
• Ensure integration with:
• Trade capture systems (e.g., Murex)
• Risk and downstream processing platforms
• Build real-time STP pipelines ensuring:
• Accuracy
• Resilience
• Auditability
• Performance Optimization
• Continuously optimize:
• Latency
• Throughput
• Resource utilization
• Apply advanced techniques:
• Concurrency / multithreading
• Memory optimization
• Network tuning
• Ensure systems meet strict latency SLAs typical of trading environments
• Collaboration & Delivery
• Work closely with:
• Front Office (trading, sales)
• Quantitative research teams
• Infrastructure and production support
• Participate in Full SDLC (design → build → test → deploy → support)
• Contribute to architecture decisions and platform evolution
