VP, Algo / Smart Order Router Developer

VP, Algo / Smart Order Router Developer | London

I'm working with a leading electronic trading business seeking an experienced Algo Developer to help build the next generation of execution and routing technology.

This is a genuinely greenfield opportunity where you'll play a key role designing and developing institutional‑grade execution algorithms and Smart Order Routing capabilities from the ground up.

The role:

• Design and develop low‑latency EMS and Smart Order Routing infrastructure
• Build intelligent execution algorithms across fragmented liquidity venues
• Optimise routing decisions based on liquidity, latency, execution quality, and cost
• Partner closely with traders and product teams
• Support performance tuning and production trading environments

Requirements:

• Experience building execution algorithms or Smart Order Routers
• Deep understanding of electronic trading architecture
• Market data, exchange connectivity, and order lifecycle expertise
• Strong knowledge of concurrency, networking, and performance optimisation
• Experience across FX, electronic trading, market connectivity, or digital markets is particularly relevant.

London-based.

Interested in speaking with engineers who have built rather than simply supported execution technology.
