Software Engineer

Python Engineer | Production Engineering | Top-Tier Proprietary Trading Firm

Hong Kong / Singapore

Join a global infrastructure engineering team built from a genuinely diverse range of technical backgrounds — distributed systems, performance engineering, security, and large-scale operations. What unites the team isn't a shared CV — it's a real appetite for hard technical problems and a drive to keep learning in a collaborative, low-ego environment.

This is application engineering within that team: building the internal software that lets a global trading operation manage complex infrastructure and use it to its full potential. You'll write Python and Go on the backend, modern frontend frameworks on the UI side, and work across container orchestration, distributed messaging systems, and a mix of SQL/NoSQL and custom high-performance data stores.

The work:

• Build clean, easy-to-use software solving genuinely complex infrastructure problems
• Own the full lifecycle — requirements gathering, architecture, design, and delivery
• Work directly with end users to understand what they actually need
• Collaborate with sysadmins, network engineers, and the broader infrastructure team on critical challenges
• Operate in a fast-moving, Agile environment built on testing, shared code ownership, and rapid iteration

What you'll need:

• A sharp, analytical mind — you spot patterns and make decisions fast
• Strong Python experience, with a genuine appetite to pick up new technologies
• Solid Linux administration fundamentals
• A real commitment to clean, testable code — not just code that works
• Comfort working in a highly collaborative, low-ego Agile team
• Strong written and verbal communication — you'll work across a global organisation
• Flexibility and a willingness to take on a broad range of challenges
• Reliable, predictable availability

If you want to build software that a global trading firm genuinely depends on, work alongside some of the sharpest infrastructure engineers in the industry, and never run out of hard problems to solve — this is worth a conversation.
