Software Engineer (Individual Contributor) – High-Frequency Trading

Requirements & Expectations

  • Experience in Big Tech and/or distributed systems is strongly preferred
  • We value T-shaped engineers — individuals who can go deep technically while also understanding and troubleshooting across the stack (including infrastructure, on-prem systems, and bare metal environments — not just application code)
  • This is a role for experienced hires only (not suitable for junior candidates)
  • This is a full-time, in-office role (5 days per week)
  • Candidates must be willing to relocate to Singapore or Hong Kong

Interview Process

  • The process is intensive and fast-paced, typically involving multiple interview rounds (up to 10) over a short timeframe
  • Please note: the bar is high, and not all candidates will progress
  • Due to volume, detailed feedback may not always be provided

Additional Information

  • Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted
