High-Performance Online Trading Engineer, Permanent, Finance, Frankfurt, Germany recruitment

This challenging permanent role offers you the opportunity to work for one of the leading global providers of web-based financial trading technology instruments. Our client uses state of the art low latency, high throughput distributed computing and therefore requires passionate developers, who are looking for more than just a “coding” role.

You will be part of the Architecture team with the primary focus to achieve high application performance for an excellent user-experience. In order to do so you will be managing the performance throughout the application life-cycle. More specifically you will be performing measurement studies, consult with the development team and provide technical leadership, all the while not being scared of touching C/C++ source code on the Linux kernel and JVM level. Troubleshooting and resolving production issues are thus also one of your key responsibilities.

In order to be considered for this opportunity, you will possess the following skills and attributes:

• Master Degree or PhD in computer science

• 3+ years of server side Java development

• Mastery of your extensive performance analysis tool set down from the OS level into the Java application level

• Extensive theoretical and practical background in algorithms and data structures (single- and multi threaded environment)

• Expert understanding of throughput, latency, memory and CPU utilization

• Extraordinary ability to identify potential limitations in software architectures

This is an opportunity for dedicated, passionate and highly qualified programmers to join a truly dynamic and rapidly growing environment.
