    Description
    Salary: up to £85k base

    The Role

    As an engineer within the OMS team at one of the world's largest hedge funds, you'll be building the Order Management System underpinning the systematic investment process. This is an opportunity to work closely with the trading desk, quant strategy teams and operations, to deliver an Order Management System which is flexible, robust, and performant to safely trade millions of orders annually and enable the development of new investment strategies. You'll have direct exposure to a wide set of asset classes covering both listed and OTC markets, building deep understanding in how they're executed and booked.

    The Team

    A small team with the Markets Platform Engineering group, the OMS sits between strategies and the execution systems, which act as the interface to the market. In the core position of the investment process, this team interacts with many other parts of the firm, providing a unique opportunity to build comprehensive knowledge across the trading lifecycle.

    It's a particularly exciting time to join as they're currently investing heavily, evaluating the stack to increase both its performance and agility in onboarding new flows to support future growth.

    The Technology

    Core systems run on Linux via containers, with most systems built using Java. They use Git for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, Docker for containerisation, Ansible for architecture automation, and Slack for internal communication. That said, the technology list is never static: they are constantly evaluating new tools and libraries.
