Software Engineer

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.

Who we’re looking for: 

You’re an engineer who thrives in high-performance environments. You collaborate well, communicate clearly, and take ownership from design through to production. You’re pragmatic in approach, evidence-driven, and motivated by solving complex problems that have real impact. If you have experience building trading or financial systems, it will be highly regarded, but it's not essential.

Skills & Behaviours:

• Strong C++ development experience in performance-critical systems
• Solid understanding of software design, architecture, and data structures
• Have familiarity with Python for tooling, automation, and data analysis
• Clear communication, who can explain technical decisions and trade-offs
• Self-starter who identifies what's needed to move projects forward, and works collaboratively to make it happen

As an Engineer with us, you’ll: 

• Work on strategy and pricing improvements, seeing ideas through from design to production deployment.
• You’ll be part of design and architecture discussions and collaborate across trading and platform teams to build robust, scalable systems.
• Write clean, efficient code and take part in peer reviews that raise the bar for quality and shared learning.
• Help design the architecture, protocols, and applications that connect our trading systems and make them perform at their best.
• Support your trading desks by troubleshooting and resolving production issues, ensuring our systems run smoothly end-to-end.

What You'll Get

• A competitive salary and bonus.
• Learning opportunities.
• Flexible hybrid work environment (3 days in office).
• An inclusive culture that values collaboration, diversity, and growth.
• Free food, coffee, gym classes, social activities, and an annual company trip.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

We bring talented people together to do amazing work. Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, you’ll find a place to belong and grow here. We encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, cultures, genders, and abilities.
