Trading Systems Engineer — Low Latency | C++ (OMS / Exchange Connectivity / Full Stack) | Singapore

Platinum & Partners have been exclusively instructed to identify a Trading Systems Engineer for a leading proprietary trading firm based in Singapore. The firm is building its core trading infrastructure from the ground up and requires seasoned engineers with deep institutional TradFi market-making or HFT experience to own and scale systems that directly impact trading performance and PnL.

The Opportunity

This is an end-to-end engineering role — not a silo. You will build and own the full trading lifecycle infrastructure, working directly alongside quantitative traders in a lean, high-ownership environment. Engineers here are expected to operate across the entire stack independently and deliver under tight timelines. Full global relocation support is provided.

Core Scope

• OEMS: Order & Execution Management Systems
• Exchange Connectivity: Low-latency market access and protocols
• Market Data & Feeds: Real-time feed handlers and tick data pipelines
• Risk & Reporting: Pre-trade risk engines and post-trade reporting
• Simulation: Backtesting and quantitative simulation frameworks

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of hands-on experience building low-latency trading systems
• Production proficiency in C++ (primary) — end-to-end systems engineering across the full trading stack
• Institutional TradFi background essential: equities, options, futures or FX market-making or HFT — from firms such as Optiver, IMC, Flow Traders, Virtu, Citadel Securities, Jane Street, DRW, Jump or equivalent
• International experience — major global financial hub (Amsterdam, Chicago, New York, London, Hong Kong, Singapore)
• Engineering breadth across OEMS, connectivity, market data, risk and simulation — not single-system specialists
• Crypto-native or Web3-only backgrounds will not be considered for this role
• Open to relocation to Singapore
