Senior Software Engineer - Trading Tech

Are you excited about building high-stakes trading systems where accuracy and reliability are critical? Do you have experience in risk technology or financial trading environments? Our client’s Risk Tech team is developing a Risk & Alert Framework that traders will use daily—and they need your expertise to push it further.

Our client is a fast-growing cryptocurrency trading firm with offices in Amsterdam and Singapore. With a team of 110 people, they have nearly doubled in size last year. Their Risk Tech team is responsible for building internal risk and account management software—not the ultra‑low latency trading systems, but the backbone that keeps everything running smoothly.

What You’ll Do

• Enhance and expand the existing Risk & Alert Framework used by traders.
• Work closely with traders and stakeholders to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
• Develop and maintain systems for risk monitoring, reporting, and alerting.
• Collaborate within the trading, mid‑office, and risk teams on internal tooling.

Qualifications

• Experience with Python/SQL.
• Experience in financial trading, risk, or fintech is a plus.
• Attention to detail is crucial— a single mistake can have major consequences.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills—you need to translate technical work into trader‑friendly solutions. English is fine.
• Familiarity with distributed systems and WebSockets is a bonus.
• Not a specialized web developer role—this is about backend risk tech.

Nice To Have

• Experience with C++ or Rust (especially if from a trading background).
• Background in building high‑stakes financial systems.

The Offer

• Base salary: 80K – 120K (incl. Holiday allowance). For juniors, this can be lower.
• Bonus.
• VISA Sponsorship & 30% Ruling.
• Hybrid work (4 days in‑office).
• Work directly with traders and impact risk management strategies.
