We build and run the infrastructure behind instantaneous and scheduled FX, guaranteed pricing, and intelligent internalisation and netting to optimise cost and liquidity. Our work spans everything from real-time pricing and risk management to developing FX products like limit orders, forwards, and multi-leg conversion flows.

As part of this, we’re looking for a web front-end engineer to lead the design and development of user-facing FX functionality. This includes building secure, performant, and intuitive web interfaces for pricing, risk management, trade execution, and new FX product workflows such as forwards and limit orders.
