We're partnering with a
rapidly scaling and innovative leader
in the
FinTech
sector, dedicated to
building the next generation of real-time financial platforms
and
delivering seamless, high-volume digital experiences
. This client is a
product-led company
that thrives on
technical excellence, continuous innovation, and a collaborative spirit
. You'll be part of a team pushing the boundaries of what's possible, tackling complex engineering challenges, and
making a tangible impact
on their core transaction processing and data analytics systems.
We're seeking a highly skilled and experienced
Senior Lead Software Engineer
to join their dynamic Core Platform Engineering team. This is a critical role where you'll be instrumental in
designing, developing, and optimising the foundational backend systems and shared platform services
that power their high-frequency trading and digital payment infrastructure. You'll lead by example,
driving technical design, ensuring ultra-low latency, guaranteeing system scalability and resilience
, and
mentoring
their talented engineers. If you're passionate about building robust, high-performance distributed systems at an enterprise scale, this is your chance to shine.

What You'll Bring
Next Steps
If you're a seasoned Senior Software Engineer who thrives on technical challenge, seeks to push the boundaries of distributed systems, and wants to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply!
Architect and develop scalable, resilient, and ultra-high-performance backend services
and APIs using
Go (Golang)
and
Rust
, with a strong focus on concurrent and distributed programming.
Lead technical design discussions
and contribute significantly to the architectural roadmap, emphasizing
event-driven architectures, microservices, and highly decoupled systems
on cloud-native patterns.
Optimise existing systems
for extreme performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, identifying and resolving bottlenecks in high-throughput environments.
Build and maintain robust platform components
and internal tooling using technologies like
Crossplane for infrastructure management
and
Backstage for internal developer portals
, empowering other engineering teams.
Champion advanced DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices
, including sophisticated CI/CD pipelines with
ArgoCD
, automated infrastructure provisioning with
Terraform
, and comprehensive observability (metrics, logging, tracing) using
Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry
.
Collaborate closely with quantitative analysts, product managers, and other engineering teams
to translate complex business requirements into elegant, high-performance technical solutions.
Mentor and provide technical guidance
to junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning, code quality, and engineering best practices.
Proactively troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues, contributing to on-call rotations to maintain system uptime and performance SLAs.
6+ years of progressive hands-on experience
in backend software engineering, with a significant focus on building and scaling complex distributed systems in a senior or lead capacity.
Expert-level proficiency in Go (Golang) and/or Rust
for building high-performance, concurrent applications.
Deep understanding of distributed systems concepts
including consensus algorithms (e.g., Raft, Paxos), eventual consistency, and fault tolerance patterns.
Extensive experience with cloud platforms (AWS strongly preferred)
, including advanced services related to serverless computing (e.g., Lambda, Step Functions), managed databases (e.g., Aurora, DynamoDB), and messaging/streaming services (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis).
Proficiency with containerisation and orchestration technologies
like Docker and
Kubernetes
, including designing and deploying resilient applications on Kubernetes.
Strong knowledge of NoSQL databases
(e.g., Cassandra, MongoDB, Redis) and experience optimising data models for high throughput and low latency.
Proven track record of implementing and advocating for
GitOps principles
and
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
.
Experience with Service Mesh technologies
like Istio or Linkerd is highly desirable.
Exceptional problem-solving skills
and the ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues in high-pressure production environments.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of clearly articulating complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
