Senior Low-Latency Java Engineer - London - McGregor Boyall

I'm working with a leading global investment bank looking for an exceptional low-latency engineer to join its specialist electronic trading technology team.

This is a highly hands-on position-around 90% coding-building Java and Rust event-sourcing frameworks that support algorithmic trading platforms across the bank.

The technology operates at serious scale, with response times in the 10-100 microsecond range.

We're looking for experience in:

* Modern Java and JVM performance optimisation
* Low-latency algorithmic trading systems
* Market data and back-testing/simulation tools
* Linux internals, system calls and kernel tuning
* TCP/IP and kernel-bypass technologies
* Event-driven or event-sourcing microservices
* Performance analysis and targeted optimisation

Experience with KDB, Rust or C++ would be highly advantageous.
