If you love the thrill of playing a key role in defining a product offering, of seeing your systems in action on real hardware in real-world situations, and in piecing together the puzzle as opposed to being a small component of it – this is the role for you.
We are working with a client whose mission revolves around supporting the maintaining of democracies, and they are looking for Forward Deployed Engineer to join their team.
About the role:
As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will have a deep understanding of the technical aspects of the product and of how software operates in real-world scenarios (think complex systems with limited hardware and unreliable connections). To succeed in this role, it’s essential to grasp the difficulties that arise beyond the abstractions.
Due to the varied nature of the role, your responsibilities may vary day to day. From addressing limitations in the capabilities being developed to enhancing performance in various product codebases; from shaping the tools and hardware used by backend engineers to finding solutions to practical constraints while keeping core software design in mind, no two days will be the same.
The most exciting challenges in this opportunity will be maintaining a broad range of knowledge, both technical (having a wide range of solutions to draw from) and social (knowing who is accountable, knowledgeable, or working on a particular aspect). This directly translates to the ample career growth opportunities stemming from this role, as you’ll be able to specialize in areas that are of particular interest to you.
About you:
If you have background in computer science (or related field), good knowledge of scripting languages such (i.e. BASH/Python), as well as experience in software engineering using (C++/Java/ Rust) and got excited reading the opening line of this ad, please apply directly, or email a copy of your CV to nicole@durlstonpartners.com to discuss this opportunity or any of those listed on our website.

We are working with a financial services firm headquartered in NY that officially launched in Q3 of 2020 after a few years in stealth mode – they operate across HFT, Asset Management and Venture Capital to provide clients with institutional-grade access to crypto.
C++ is probably the most sought-after skill on the Financial Tech market today. An up-and-coming one is Rust too. Most roles have you doing similar things, especially in finance, which is usually latency related.
I’m not going to try to sell you the responsibilities of the role, I am going to tell you about the team you will be working with and the manager that will be taking care of you. Because let’s face it, that’s what most people care about in their next role.
This role is titled “Trading Strategy Developer” which basically means they would like someone with either:
- C++ exchange connectivity experience
- Experienced with execution management systems/algorithms/automated trading systems in FX etc.
You will be reporting to the Global Head of Digital Markets. This guy is an ex-Quant Trader at a world-famous Prop Firm and lives, breathes, and eats what he does. He is a natural leader of people, a pretty good salesperson and a brilliant manager.
This guy reports to the CTO of the firm. He used to work for the best High-Frequency Trading company on the market, this guy started coding on a ZX Spectrum before joining junior school (6 years old). He had a 94% success rate for engineers that he promoted during his career (one of the highest ever at this HFT) and of the 34 people he hired, 17 got promoted in his first year. 16 of the 17 succeeded in their new role.
As a CTO, his weekends are made up of working on Github Projects and building a Robot. Since becoming the CTO, he brought the firm from an efficiency of around 25-35% to now 55%, he wants them to be around 80% in the next 12 months and this comes from bringing people on with similar mindsets.
