The role

At Adaptive, we are a financial consulting firm that partners with capital, commodity, and digital market participants. We value differentiation through technology. Our experienced teams design and deliver complex front-office technology solutions using our proven accelerators to create long-term competitive advantage.

Our clients include the world's leading investment banks, investment managers, fintechs and capital market service providers. With a global reach with offices in London, New York, Barcelona, Manila and Montreal, we have a proven track record delivering powerful, elegant and intuitive trading technology solutions.

We are expanding our product capability and looking for talented individuals to help build transformational capital markets products including:

  • Aeron - our flagship high-performance messaging infrastructure.
  • Hydra - our developer framework for accelerating the development and delivery of trading systems.
  • Artio - our market-leading open-source FIX engine.
  • Aeron Sequencer - replicated state machines at scale.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop Java applications and libraries.
  • Write clean, efficient and well-documented code.
  • Troubleshoot and debug Java applications to ensure smooth performance.
  • Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality, maintainability, and reusability.
  • Keep up-to-date with emerging trends and technologies in Java development.
  • Pair with other team members to ensure high-quality outcomes.

Hiring process

Long interview processes are stressful and boring and that is not us.

We want to make sure that everything runs smoothly.

So here you will have three stage interviews:

1- A chat with one of our great recruiters.
2- A zoom chat with one of our Java colleagues where they will ask you detailed questions about Java knowledge and your experience.
3- A Face to Face interview (either in our office or via Zoom). During this interview, we will dig even deeper, and you will have a technical task to do. You will also have a chat with our local director.

A little tip for you during those stages

Collaboration is massively important to us, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts, ask questions, ask for help if needed, etc :)
