Sterlings is excited to partner with an Investment Bank as they look to expand their Electronic Trading, FX, and Rates Technology division in London.

The position focuses on the end-to-end engineering, development and implementation of algorithmic and core trading infrastructure solutions across the Bank's FX and Rates division —covering pricing, risk management, and execution. It’s a blend of hands-on development, tech leadership, researching and building new pricing/auto-hedging strategies (working with the Quants), overseeing algo performance (containers & frameworks), and contributing to model implementation.

You will own relationships with the front office, collaborating closely with eFX and eRates teams locally in London.

A few highlights:

• The role sits within the Automated Market Making group, specifically on the hedging & pricing side of the algorithms.
• Strong Java skills are key, ideally with eTrading, algo trading, low-latency, or front-office experience.
• Lots of greenfield work: designing models, building new strategies, and contributing to the transformation of their pricing and hedging systems.
• Directly embedded with the business, offering strong influence and visibility.
• Tech stack: Core Java (low-latency), KDB, Python
• Small, collaborative EMEA team (~10 in tech) with a lean, agile, dress-down culture.

Key Requirements:

• Hands-on experience building algorithmic trading platforms, both in hands-on development and leadership of teams around automated e-trading
• Extensive Java development experience
• Expertise with Rates or FX trading systems
