Senior Java Engineers | Low-Latency Trading Systems | Global Crypto Exchange | Hong Kong
A globally regulated, institutional-grade crypto exchange is scaling its engineering organisation across core exchange infrastructure, trading product delivery, and risk platform engineering. With billions in daily trading volume and a full product suite across spot, margin, perpetuals, and options—this is one of the few digital asset venues globally that combines high-performance systems, regulatory integrity, and deep liquidity.
They are hiring senior and lead Java engineers into three distinct teams:
1. Core Exchange Engineering
- Build and maintain ultra-low-latency services for trade sequencing, market interaction, and order flow
- Work with technologies like Chronicle Queue, Aeron, and custom GC-free Java microservices
- Requires strong Java performance engineering and familiarity with event-driven architectures
2. Trading Products Engineering
- Build services supporting new trading products: dated futures, perpetuals, options, and margin
- Work with product managers and quants to bring new markets to life across the trading stack
- Requires clean backend design, microservices experience, and market structure familiarity
3. Risk Engineering
- Two tracks:
- Build real-time risk and margining services (the “trains”)
- Build the underlying streaming platform to support them (the “rails”)
- Requires experience in real-time data processing, risk logic, or high-throughput backend systems
Environment & Stack
- Languages: Java (low-GC), Kotlin, Python, Go
- Infra: Kafka, Chronicle Queue, Aeron, Redis, MongoDB, Flink, Postgres
- Practices: Microservices, GitOps, CI/CD, test-driven development, Kubernetes
