Software Engineer (EMS)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a well-funded fintech organization seeking a Software Engineer to join their engineering team in London. This is a hybrid, full-time, mid-level position reporting to the Rust Engineering Lead. Our client is building a next-generation multi-region, multi-tenanted Execution Management System platform for institutional clients.

Responsibilities

• Platform Development: Design and implement low-latency, high-throughput systems for a multi-region, multi-tenanted platform, ensuring compliance with industry standards
• Latency Optimization: Analyze and optimize critical paths in the system to reduce latency and improve performance
• Distributed Systems: Maintain distributed, fault-tolerant systems with high availability across multiple regions, ensuring data consistency and low-latency communication
• Monitoring & Observability: Implement real-time monitoring, telemetry and alerting systems for proactive issue detection and resolution
• Collaboration: Work closely with product, QA and infrastructure teams to align technical solutions with business requirements and ensure seamless deployments
• Code Reviews: Review teammates' code with rigor and help raise the team's collective standard
• AI-Assisted Development: Use AI coding assistants heavily and critically—catching what they get wrong is part of the job

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years professional backend engineering experience, including concurrent, performance-sensitive systems
• Hands-on production Rust expertise—you should be able to walk through a non-trivial Rust system you built and defend its design (C++ or Go experience is a plus)
• Experience with distributed systems and event-driven architectures (e.g., Nats, Aeron)
• Knowledge of multi-tenancy patterns and best practices
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and tools for multi-region deployments
• Working knowledge of databases and caches (PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, Zookeeper)
• Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working in cross-functional teams
• Attention to detail and ability to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment
• Understanding of crypto markets and products (desirable)
• Experience leveraging LLMs to accelerate delivery (desirable)
• Financial services experience and background in trading/EMS platforms (desired)
