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 Shared Services and the FX Trading Grid application.

Shared Services comprises Enablements, Post Trade and the Regulatory Reporting and Clearing teams. All 3 teams are service oriented, focusing on delivering highly available, low latency and highly adaptable services to front end trading applications across FXGO and beyond. Together, they form the lower layer of the FXGO trading platform. The teams own software across the stack but with more focus on the backend.

The FX Trading Grid application allows traders to buy and sell currencies at the click of a button. The application has to process large amount of continuous real-time data and process trade execution as fast as possible. The engineers are client facing and implement workflows for the front end as equally as low latency-scalable solutions for the back end.
