Engineering (29) and Product (11) make up 40 of 69 open roles, so this is mainly a platform and product build-out, with Sales (6) and Brokerage operations (5) as the next largest groups.
Seniority: Mostly senior: 34 senior, 9 staff, 4 director, 5 manager, 16 mid and 1 junior.
Skills named most: Kubernetes, Go, SQL, GCP, PostgreSQL, gRPC, Python, Kafka, Rust, REST APIs, Terraform, Docker
Locations: 64 of 69 roles are remote, mostly tied to a region (Americas, EMEA, APAC, UK, Japan, North America or Global Anywhere). Five postings do not state remote status, including Head of Business Development - Middle East, which is listed for Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Riyadh.
If you're applying: Engineering is the largest group, and Go, Kubernetes and PostgreSQL recur across clearing, trading and new markets postings. Several roles set up new functions: AI evaluation, Growth data science and liquidity risk are described as greenfield or built from the ground up. Check hard requirements such as Japanese, Korean or Series licences before applying.
If you're selling or recruiting: 28 roles opened in the last 30 days against 26 in the prior 30, and 15 closed, so hiring is steady. Of the sales-side hiring, five roles are technical (two Sales Engineers, a Solutions Engineer for Turkey and two Project Managers for partner launches); a Sales Analyst and a Head of Business Development - Middle East are also open. New product leads in market data, crypto, tokenization, clearing and derivatives, plus regional brokerage teams for the EU, UK, Gulf and Japan, show where data, custody, compliance and connectivity vendors are most relevant.
