Process Overview

In Equity Linked Technology, we implement innovative software solutions to provide our clients with a seamless trading experience.  Our engineers solve some of the most complex technical problems in the world of Equity Derivatives, ranging from fast-paced, high-volume vanilla options to complex structured notes and quantitative algorithmic indices. This in turn translates to challenges that involve providing low-latency pricing solutions and at the same time the solution should be simple enough to scale across a wide range of products and clients.

This is an extremely exciting time as the group is supporting significant business growth, while undergoing transformation into an Agile micro service-oriented infrastructure.  It is an interactive and dynamic working environment, with the opportunity to interface directly with Front-Office users and enabling you to directly observe the impact of your deliveries. We are also in early stages of building out our platform so any candidate coming in will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and impact shape of our technology stack.

Job Description

We need a software developer who will be proficient in designing service-oriented and microservice-based architectures, implemented using agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban, Test Driven Development, unit and integration testing, etc.)

Comfortable contributing to system design and architecture, translating business requirements into clean, maintainable software, and taking ownership of delivery quality. There will be significant collaboration with senior engineers across work streams as we integrate an increasingly complex, distributed product set.

• Plan and deliver work in an agile manner with a strong focus on engineering quality and predictability
• Contribute to ongoing system design, architectural evolution, and reduction of technical debt
• Ensure sustained, reliable operation of production systems; contribute to DevOps practices including monitoring, alerting, and operational readiness of services

• Self-starter with strong ownership mindset, balancing delivery speed with long-term code quality and maintainability
• Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to collaborate effectively in a multi-team environment
