Remote (UK-based) | Full-Time Reactive Markets is the 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year (_). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers. We build trading systems that operate at the edge of what's technically possible — where nanoseconds matter and a dropped message costs real money. Our engineering team is small, senior, and deeply invested in the craft of building cutting edge, reliable, high-performance systems. We're looking for a C++ Software Engineer who wants to build low-latency trading infrastructure on Linux. You'll work on the core components of our Switchboard trading platform — pricing engines, connectivity gateways, market-data systems, and the messaging layer that ties them together. This is not a role where you write code and throw it over a wall. You build it, you test it, you deploy it, you support it in production, and you improve it. Our engineers own the full lifecycle — from design through to operational excellence. When something breaks at 4pm on a Friday, you're part of the team that investigates and fixes it. Occasional hours outside the normal working day are required for production releases, scheduled maintenance windows, and Level 3 support during critical incidents. We keep this to a minimum and recognise the commitment — but owning a production trading platform means being there when it matters. Modern C++20 and Go on Linux — a modern software stack based on open source Cloud-native infrastructure on AWS with colocation in key data centres Microsecond-level latency optimisation and high-throughput messaging Market-data and reference-data pipelines across multiple asset classes FIX protocol integrations with global banks and liquidity providers Observability and monitoring — dashboards, alerting, and metrics that make system behaviour visible Production systems that handle real money — reliability is not optional Technical: Strong C++ with Linux systems programming (3+ years) Comfortable working close to the metal — you understand what's underneath your code Experience with performance-sensitive systems (profiling, optimisation, deterministic behaviour) Familiarity with networking fundamentals (TCP/UDP, socket programming) Go experience is a strong bonus — we use Go extensively for microservices and command-line tooling, and you'll be expected to work with it internally. If you don't know it yet, strong C++ engineers pick it up quickly Python for scripting, automation, testing, and data analysis — used across the platform for tooling and operational workflows Git and shell scripting Experience in financial services or trading technology is a plus but not essential How you work: You ship. You're delivery-focused — you iterate, you improve, you get things into production You own it. When you build something, you take responsibility for its behaviour in production. You respond to incidents (15-minute acknowledgement SLA during working hours), investigate issues, and close the loop You write things down. Documentation is not an afterthought — it's how we scale knowledge across a distributed team. If it's not written down, it doesn't exist You communicate. We're a distributed team across multiple time zones. Clear, proactive communication — especially when things go wrong — is essential You care about quality. You write clean, testable code. You review your peers' work thoughtfully. You push for continuous improvement without gold-plating You embrace AI tooling. We use AI tools (Claude, Gemini) to amplify our engineering capability — from code review and debugging to incident investigation and documentation. You don't need to be an expert, but you should be curious and willing to learn Real problems — trading systems where performance is measured in microseconds, not user clicks An excellent team — senior engineers who care about craft, collaborate openly, and hold each other to high standards Ownership — small teams, clear accountability, direct impact on the platform and our clients Competitive package — up to 30 days leave + bank holidays, private health insurance, pension, life insurance, dental/optical cashback, cycle to work, socials and offsites Remote-friendly — work from home with flexibility. We trust our people to deliver Sustainable pace — we work hard, but we don't burn people out. Balance is how we stay sharp Growth — career progression to senior roles, performance specialisation, or technical leadership. We invest in people who invest in us We believe in transparency, honest feedback, and writing things down. We celebrate delivery, not activity. We frame AI as empowering people — removing toil, amplifying capability, enabling higher-value work. We aim to build systems that don't depend on the heroics of individuals to maintain and support — systems and processes that are resilient, documented, and sustainable. We keep our process focused and respectful of your time. Our process follows three stages. Stage 1: Initial Conversation with Talent Acquisition Format: Video call, ~30-45 minutes Stage 2: Hiring Manager Conversation with the relevant team lead or hiring manager Format: Video call, ~60 minutes Stage 3: Technical Interview with two members of the relevant engineering team Format: Video call, interactive session, ~60 minutes What to expect in each stage will be explained by Talent Acquisition if you're invited to interview. Throughout the process, we aim to keep momentum with no unnecessary delays between stages, and feedback typically comes within a few business days. *Please note that depending on availability, Stage 2 and 3 may swap around.

Hi, we’re Griffin. We’re a fully regulated UK bank that powers the accounts and payments offerings of product-led fintechs and platforms like Uber, Yonder, Prosper, and Sidekick. By doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes, our customers can focus on what they do best - delivering amazing customer experiences. We’ve grown rapidly since our launch in 2024, and today provide the banking backbone behind products in remittance, payroll, wealth, insurance, proptech, payments, neobanking and more. We’re moving into card issuing, stablecoin infrastructure, and agentic finance next as we continue to support the next generation of product-led companies. _ We believe that smart, motivated, conscientious people thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments and have done our best to create such an environment at Griffin. People who thrive here don’t require much hand-holding, and go out of their way to figure out how to contribute in the most valuable way possible. We've been remote-first since we were established in 2017 and we remain so today. Work here is asynchronous and fully flexible - because we want to be a part of your life in a way that helps you to get the most out of both your work and home life. We understand that our culture and ways of working aren’t for everyone, and we’re very intentional about our hiring process as a result. We won't hire people who don’t seem like a strong fit for our core values, even if they're otherwise extremely qualified. Our strong culture has helped us to remain a mission-driven company as we have scaled, and gives our people a clear, explicit operating framework and the space to focus on delivering real value for our customers. _ The Craft function has seven small, cross-functional engineering teams - each with engineers, an engineering manager, and a product manager, working closely with designers. You'll join one team that owns a product area end-to-end. When we start work, we explore multiple solutions before picking one. You'll write RFCs, build proof-of-concepts, and run experiments to validate approaches. Once we commit to building something, we care about maintainability more than cleverness, observability more than hoping it works, and scalability more than premature optimisation. We ship quality code over hitting arbitrary deadlines. Once something goes live, we refactor the rough edges rather than polish what's already working Right now, we're building card issuing from scratch, going direct on Faster Payments, enabling cross-border payments, and building term deposit accounts. Day to day, this means: writing the reconciliation systems that process millions of FPS transactions, implementing double-entry accounting that tracks card spending and settlements, designing webhook infrastructure with message signing and replay protection, building API versioning that lets us evolve without breaking customers, or creating payment approval workflows that satisfy both user experience and compliance requirements. Success here is about impact beyond your own code: improving how we work, making other engineers more productive, and building systems that our customers (other developers) actually want to use. This looks like: redesigning the transaction reconciliation service to handle 10x throughput before we hit FPS volume limits fixing the root cause of webhook delivery failures so we stop getting paged at 3am building a Bazel rule that cuts build times in half for the whole team writing an RFC that becomes the pattern we use for all event-driven services pairing with another engineer to help them reason through FoundationDB transaction semantics owning card issuing from initial RFC through to processing the first live transaction - making every architecture and implementation decision along the way. The technical decisions on your projects - you'll write the RFCs, choose the architecture, and decide when to extend existing systems versus rebuild them Delivery from customer problem to live feature - you'll work with PMs to shape what gets built, then own getting it into production Setting technical direction - your code reviews, implementation patterns, and architectural choices influence how the wider team builds software Production responsibility - the systems you build are yours to monitor, debug, and improve when issues arise You'll fit well here if you come from one of these backgrounds: Functional programming - you've shipped production Clojure, Elixir, Erlang, Haskell, Scala, or Scheme in a professional setting, or you've built substantial personal projects that demonstrate deep functional programming experience Fintech domain expertise - you've worked in payments, accounts, ledgers, or compliance where you've dealt with money movement, reconciliation, and regulatory requirements Beyond that, you'll need: Strong software fundamentals and distributed systems knowledge - you understand consistency models, idempotency, and the failure modes that actually matter in production Experience working in product-focused, collaborative teams - you've shaped what gets built alongside PMs and designers, not just implemented specs Comfort with startup pace and ambiguity - priorities shift, requirements evolve, and you adapt without needing perfect clarity upfront We are an early stage startup and we're working hard to expand our benefits package. We're planning to add to this list in the future. Remote-first flexibility: Work from anywhere in the UK Time off: 25 days’ holiday, bank holidays and a winter break (we shut down between Christmas and New Year) Share options: Own a part of what we’re building together Work from abroad: Up to 20 days a year Pension: Auto-enrolment into our Penfold scheme Insurance: Private medical with Bupa (including family cover) and life insurance with AIG Wellbeing: 1:1 coaching and therapy session available through Oliva Family leave: Enhanced parental leave with up to 6 months on full pay after two years’ service AI tools: Everyone has a Claude subscription on us and access to other premium tools Your setup: We’ll support you in creating a comfortable and effective WFH environment. As a bank, we’re committed to maintaining the highest standards of security. This means that the successful candidate will need to complete background screening, and our offer will be conditional upon satisfactory review of these checks. This would include verification of right to work, criminal record, credit history, social media and professional reference checks. We move as fast as possible, but it normally takes us about 2-3 weeks to get to know to each other. Step 1: An initial phone call with our Talent Team for us to tell you more about Griffin and learn about your recent experience. Step 2: A task based on what you’ll be doing on a day to day at Griffin. Step 3: Meet your manager to talk through your experience and how that relates to the requirements. Step 4: Meet with peers in your team for a more in-depth technical interview. Step 5: Culture and Founder interview: Learn more about this here. Are we your next move? Apply via the link below, if there's a match our Talent team will reach out to schedule an initial conversation and talk you through what happens next. We trust people to do great work wherever they are. We hire across the UK and most of our team works remotely full-time. We have a small London office in Moorgate for those who want it, and about a third of the company is close enough to use it occasionally, but there's no expectation to be there. What matters is the work, not where you do it. At Griffin, we’re looking for people who instinctively vibe with our values, behaviours and mission. You’re encouraged to apply, even if your experience doesn’t tick every box. Careers, like life, can take many twists and turns. Your technical expertise and path to where you are today will stand out. We're committed to creating a place where everyone belongs and we welcome diverse perspectives, backgrounds and people who are ready to build a global platform for programmable finance

Remote (UK-based) | Full-Time Reactive Markets is the 2026 OTC Trading Platform of the Year (_). Our network handles over $50 billion in daily trading volumes across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency, connecting 40+ of the world's leading liquidity providers. We build trading systems that operate at the edge of what's technically possible — where nanoseconds matter and a dropped message costs real money. Our engineering team is small, senior, and deeply invested in the craft of building cutting edge, reliable, high-performance systems. We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to build the trading platform our clients use every day. Despite the "frontend" name, this is not a UI-only role — our Frontend team works across the whole application stack in TypeScript and Rust, from the trader-facing interfaces down to the services behind them. It's distinct from our Backend team, who own the low-latency C++/Go trading engine. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who takes on the hardest problems and delivers them under their own steam. You'll own complex, ambiguous, performance-critical work end-to-end — designed, built, tested, deployed, and supported in production. You lead through code, craft, and mentoring, setting the technical example the rest of the team calibrates to. This is not a role where you write code and throw it over a wall: our engineers own the full lifecycle, and when something breaks, you're part of the team that investigates and fixes it. Occasional hours outside the normal working day are required for production releases, scheduled maintenance windows, and Level 3 support during critical incidents. We keep this to a minimum and recognise the commitment — but owning a production trading platform means being there when it matters. Complex full-stack features in TypeScript and Rust — from trader-facing interfaces to the application services behind them Real-time market-data presentation and high-throughput, low-latency application code across FX, Equities, and Cryptocurrency React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) for demanding, data-dense trading interfaces Distributed systems and real-time data over REST, WebSockets, and network protocols Architecture and solution design for the hardest technical problems the team faces Observability and monitoring — dashboards, alerting, and metrics that make frontend behaviour visible Production systems that handle real money — reliability is not optional Technical: Strong full-stack engineering ability with deep TypeScript / JavaScript (ES6+) (5+ years) Solid experience with React and reactive state management (RX, MobX, or similar) Real working ability in Rust — it's part of our stack and not optional at this level. If your Rust is still developing, a strong track record of picking up new languages to depth quickly is essential Strong grasp of distributed systems, API design, and real-time data (REST, WebSockets, network protocols such as TCP/UDP and binary protocols) Comfortable reasoning about architecture and making defensible technical trade-offs Python for scripting, automation, and tooling is a bonus Git and Linux fundamentals Experience in financial services or trading technology is a plus but not essential How you work: You ship. You're delivery-focused — you iterate, you improve, you get things into production You run with things. Give you an ambiguous, complex problem and you drive it to done without being managed through it. Senior here means trusted, not just experienced You have range. You're not just strong in the familiar parts of the stack — you pick up the unfamiliar and hold your own on the hardest work You own it. When you build something, you take responsibility for its behaviour in production. You respond to incidents (15-minute acknowledgement SLA during working hours), investigate issues, and close the loop You raise the bar.
