The Live Trading, Analysis & Tooling engineering team exists to make sure our traders and researchers have all the tools they need to run and analyse their trading at scale. We tackle both ends of scaling - we help traders maximise how many strategies they can trade, and help them analyse specific moments to find new opportunities. Our team sits close to the people who use what we build, with short iteration loops, fast feedback, and a lot of conversation. The work is broad. We build tools that help traders orchestrate strategies across our full product range. We build infrastructure that makes large amounts of data quickly explorable. We model risk, analyse trades, and figure out where new opportunities might be. Our toolkit is just as broad. Python, Java, React, SQL, any tool that solves the issue at hand. About you You're energised by problems where the brief doesn't exist yet. Working out what to build is as much the job as building it You can move between languages without it slowing you down. The right tool matters more to you than your favourite one You like working with stakeholders across the business and you're good at figuring out what someone actually needs, not just what they asked for You can pivot. You enjoy trying out new ideas quickly and scaling them once they’ve proven value - or throwing them out if they didn’t work What you don't need A finance background. Experience in any particular language. A specific set of years in any particular role. We hire engineers who like to solve the problems our traders face - we'll teach you the context on the ground.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
