As a Software Engineer supporting Front Office trading, you will design, develop, and support real-time systems for our automated equity derivatives market-making platform, covering listed options and futures across Asian markets. You will work across the full trading lifecycle, including pricing, risk, market data, order management, and exchange execution, building systems that operate in a live front office trading environment.

You will contribute to two key initiatives: developing performance-critical components for a very low latency execution solution co-located at HKEx, and modernising our warrants and ETOs market-making platform from Windows/.NET Framework to containerised .NET Core services running on Linux and Kubernetes. Working within a small, senior technology team, you will collaborate on architecture, testing, and production operations, while supporting the existing legacy platform during transition.
