We are the engineering team behind the world's largest over-the-counter (OTC) electronic trading (ET) platforms encompassing Fixed Income, Currencies, Commodities, Derivatives and Equities. Our products offer end-to-end trading workflows including price discovery, real-time analytics/pricing, execution and straight through processing (STP), and are fully integrated with the Bloomberg terminal and enterprise solutions.

Our platforms have been at the heart of recent market structure changes, driven by trade automation and regulation. Clients are actively looking to cut costs by switching to more automated and efficient ways of trading, and regulators are pushing for more transparency and systemic controls to prevent another financial crisis. This is an exciting time for us as we embark on projects that cater to these needs and leave a lasting impact on financial trading markets.

Stability, availability, low-latency and flexibility are important elements of a successful trading platform, and we strive to build software with these principles in mind.

  •   Using industry standard technologies to build high performance systems
  •   Work in a highly collaborative environment where teamwork is the key to success

  •   Self-motivated and proactive attitude to problem solving
