Senior Software Engineer FXGO

Description & Requirements

FXGO is a premier 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 $7 trillion traded every day. Our platform is used by the industrys biggest players in over 120 countries to trade hundreds of billions of dollars with each other every day. Our trading applications are distributed fault-tolerant highly transactional and low-latency.

Our Team

The FXGO Lifecycle Core team is the foundational post-execution data engine of the entire platform. We own the foundational data layer of FXGO which is responsible for the accuracy consistency and reliability of trade data across its entire lifecycle.

While upstream teams build the specific trading workflows our systems catch every single trade the millisecond it executes. We design build and scale the critical infrastructure responsible for real-time trade capture robust distributed storage and high-volume event distribution in a highly concurrent environment.

By owning the core post-trade data models and messaging pipelines we are the trusted event-driven source of truth that reliably feeds downstream business applications like straight-through processing (STP) billing and regulatory reporting. Our goal is to ensure our backend infrastructure can seamlessly absorb and distribute data during extreme market volatility without bottlenecking the platform.

The core engineering challenge here is moving massive volumes of events reliably between distributed systems while maintaining strict data correctness. No trade can be missed.
