We are looking for Senior Java Engineers to help build and optimise a next-generation, high-throughput trading system that supports digital asset spot, derivatives, and multi-asset products. You will work on mission-critical backend components powering order execution, market data, risk controls, and real-time trading workflows. This environment demands strong engineering discipline, low-latency mindset, and the ability to deliver resilient, deterministic systems at scale. Locations: Hong Kong / Singapore Hiring: 10 Positions Top Global Crypto Trading Firm What You’ll Work On Develop backend services responsible for market connectivity, order flow processing, execution logic, and real-time risk calculations. Build high-performance, low-latency Java modules designed for predictable behaviour under heavy load. Implement lock-free, GC-avoiding patterns and direct memory usage for ultra-fast execution paths. Design event-driven trading architectures and deterministic processing pipelines. Work closely with traders, product managers, and infra teams to translate trading requirements into robust production systems. Conduct JVM tuning, performance benchmarking, and deep-dive profiling to diagnose bottlenecks. Maintain automated test frameworks, CI/CD workflows, and monitoring tools. Participate in architecture reviews, system audits, and code-quality discussions. Leverage AI-assisted development tools to streamline coding, testing, and refactoring.

Excellent grasp of Java internals, concurrency, memory models, and performance optimisation. Hands‑on experience with low‑latency techniques: off‑heap memory, direct buffers, Unsafe, or GC‑minimising patterns. Familiarity with high‑speed messaging protocols (Aeron, SBE, or equivalents). Strong understanding of event‑driven system design and deterministic workflow execution. Solid knowledge of analytical/time‑series databases. Experience working with distributed systems, network optimisation, and latency reduction. Comfortable incorporating AI‑enabled development assistants to enhance productivity. Strong testing habits: load testing, latency benchmarks, resilience and failover scenarios. Fluent English or Mandarin; additional languages an advantage but not required. Comfortable working with distributed teams across APAC, NA, and EMEA. Able to communicate clearly with engineering peers, product owners, and trading stakeholders. Strong teamwork mindset, aligning technical decisions with broader business needs. Why Join Us Join a top-tier global crypto exchange recognised across the industry. Build high-performance trading infrastructure used by millions worldwide. Work with a world‑class engineering organisation scaling next‑generation systems.
