Job ID: 5250

We are looking for a skilled IT Developer with experience in financial technology who can help build and maintain our FX trading systems. The ideal candidate combines technical expertise with a collaborative mindset and interest in FX business. You should have strong Java development skills and preferable hands-on experience with some of our core technologies (RESTful APIs, Kafka, MQ, SQL, and Gradle). You'll thrive in our environment if you enjoy working closely with both technical and business stakeholders to solve complex problems.

AI is changing the way we work, and we are looking for someone who will also help us deliver on our AI journey. While experience with FX trading systems and the FIX protocol would be an advantage, we value your passion to learn and grow within our team of expert developers. Good communication skills in English are essential as you'll be collaborating with various stakeholders across the organization. If you're passionate about technology, eager to understand the business side of FX, and motivated to contribute to a dynamic team environment, we'd like to hear from you.
