About this role

Galaxy Digital is seeking a VP-level Java engineer to lead trading technology development in its London office, working on the infrastructure that connects institutions to cryptocurrency markets. This role demands deep expertise in server-side Java systems, particularly in order management, market connectivity, and low-latency messaging—you'll be architecting and optimizing the systems that power real-time trading at scale.

You should have a proven track record building low-latency trading or pricing systems in Linux environments, with hands-on experience in application performance profiling and optimization.
