We’re working with a high-performing front-office trading team seeking a Real-Time Market Data Engineer to architect and scale ultra-low latency systems in the Fixed Income space. This role sits right at the engine room of the trading platform – building the infrastructure that streams, processes, and distributes high-volume, real-time time-series data powering RFQ and order-driven workflows.

• Experience with real-time financial market data
• Solid understanding of Fixed Income (RFQ & Order Flow)

• Building low-latency systems in Java
• Developing real-time data pipelines in Python
• Processing and storing high-frequency market data
• Working closely with trading and quant teams
