As part of the team, you'll collaborate closely with high-calibre engineers and deeply engaged business and product partners - working together to define and deliver the next generation of Equities technology at Citi.
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Algorithmic Trading Developer to join our Equities Electronic Trading team. This is a VP-level position responsible for the design, development, and optimization of our core low-latency execution platform. The overall objective of this role is to drive the technical implementation and innovation of our algorithmic trading engines, critical components of our electronic trading infrastructure, utilizing modern, high-performance Java and microservices architecture.

  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives in testing frameworks, development tools, and deployment processes for our low-latency and high-throughput environment.
  • Resolve complex technical challenges through in-depth analysis of business requirements, system processes, and industry best practices.
  • Apply expert knowledge of system architecture, data flow, and development standards for coding, testing, debugging, and implementation.
  • Build and maintain robust solutions for trading platform monitoring, trade reconciliation, and application recovery.
  • Appropriately assess risk when business decisions are made, demonstrating particular consideration for the firm's reputation and safeguarding Citigroup, its clients and assets, by driving compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, adhering to Policy, applying sound ethical judgment regarding personal behavior, conduct and business practices, and escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency.

Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in software development with a strong focus on high-performance, low-latency systems.
  • Expert-level technical knowledge in Core Java, including a deep understanding of JVM internals, concurrency, garbage collection, and memory management in a low-latency context.
  • Proven experience designing and developing automated trading systems in Equities or other similar financial domains, such as smart order routing, benchmark algorithms, or other automated execution strategies.
  • Solid understanding of financial market protocols (e.g., FIX) and practical experience handling order and market datasets.
  • Experience with microservices architecture and developing distributed systems.
  • Demonstrable experience with modern testing frameworks, Agile methodologies, and Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) processes.
  • Excellent communication skills with a demonstrable ability to present and grasp complex technical and business concepts.
  • Familiarity with messaging and data grid technologies (e.g., Solace, AMPS, Chronicle, KDB+), infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Ansible), or experience with other high-performance languages like Rust is a plus.
