Engineering @VivCourt

Our trading and platform teams work together to realise the full potential of our systems. Our engineers build the technology that powers every trade, from the systems that connect us to global markets to the platforms and tools that drive research, execution, and risk management.

We’re looking for Engineers who love solving complex problems and want to work close to trading. That could mean sitting on a desk with traders, helping design and implement algorithms, or working in our platform teams building systems that link everything across trading, data, and markets.

We’re expanding our Automated Trading Platform (ATP) group and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with experience in automated or algorithmic system development. You’ll help mature the ATP group to support company-wide initiatives and shared technology, with the flexibility to embed with specific desks when projects require dedicated focus.
