FXGO is a world-class trading platform that allows traders to buy and sell currencies (FX) 24/5. The FX market is the largest market in the world, with more than $6 trillion traded every day— and our platform is used by the industry’s biggest players in over 120 countries. Our trading applications are distributed, fault-tolerant, highly transactional and low-latency.

Our team:

FXGO is a growing team of talented engineers who are passionate about our product. We take pride in building one of the premier FX trading platforms in the world! In London, we are expanding in Block Trading and the Trade Life Cycle teams. Key to both teams' success is building scalability and correctness into a large distributed system.

FXGO Trade Lifecycle team builds and owns the infrastructure needed to capture and store trading events happening across the platform. They handle real time regulatory reporting, displaying trading activity on blotters and other similar use cases. 

The Block Trading Team is expanding its trading application, which allows sophisticated clients to trade a large bucket of orders in one go. The team deals with challenges of speed, given the size of the basket and the workflow sophistication clients demand on the orders.
