Expert Java / Agile Programmers – Financial Trading recruitment
My client is a global leader who delivers real time solutions for a variety of major Top Tier and FTSE 100 organisations. The systems have won numerous awards for their complex capabilities and highly fault tolerant nature to price risk and perform complex calculations. They doubled turnover in 2010 and are in line to hit another major milestone.
To build on the success, underway is a new Greenfield project to build high performance, low latent trading applications for Investment Banks, HedgeFunds and Trading houses worldwide. Given their global success and expert technical team of programmers this project is developing ultimate recognition and has a business backing to bring on a new team of expert developers.
The platform is being delivered in Java 6, running on an Oracle database, heavily multithreaded and will be processing millions of records in real time. It will be globally distributed and connected to various exchanges using live feeds. You will come in as an expert Java programmer having a proven background in delivering highly threaded, high throughput complex applications. Agile development is a huge advantage (TDD, Extreme and Pair Programming, Unit Testing). Similar environments could be betting, telecoms, payment systems or trading applications themselves – the team is currently comprised of these backgrounds.
Educated to degree level in Computer Science or related field is essential. You will need to have achieved top grades and have an A level in Maths. The standard here is top rated and new recruits are expected to have the same.
