Trading Platform Engineer (Exchange Connectivity)

Location: Remote (with occasional visits to the London office if required)

Salary: Circa 100K – 130K + Benefits

We’re working with a trading-focused business looking to hire a Platform Engineer with experience connecting into exchanges, particularly within crypto environments

This isn’t a standard DevOps role; the key requirement is experience integrating with trading venues and understanding how those systems behave in production

What you’ll be doing:

* Building and maintaining platform infrastructure across AWS

* Supporting and improving connectivity into crypto and/or traditional exchanges

* Working with APIs, WebSockets and potentially FIX protocols

* Ensuring high availability and reliability across trading systems

* Collaborating with engineering and trading teams on performance and scalability

* Troubleshooting connectivity, latency and production issues

Essential:

* Strong platform / infrastructure engineering background

* Experience integrating with exchanges (crypto or traditional)

* Understanding of low latency / high availability environments

* Comfortable working in production-critical systems

* Ability to operate across both infrastructure and application-level connectivity

Nice to have:

* Experience in trading, fintech or crypto environments

* Exposure to low latency systems

* Knowledge of networking and system performance tuning

Tremendous opportunity to work on systems where reliability and real-time performance actually matter, rather than just internal tooling! You’ll be part of an engineering-led team with real ownership, building infrastructure that connects directly into exchanges

But here’s the honest truth that many hiring managers quietly agree on: 👉 You don’t need to know every blockchain tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones for the role you’re targeting — and how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but context and capability matter more. This guide breaks down exactly how many blockchain tools you need to learn, which ones matter for specific roles, and how to position what you know so hiring managers take notice.
