Engineering a real-time trading platform
Architecture and core services for a low-latency, high-throughput trading environment.
Assignment context: IG / Spectrum Markets
The challenge
Trading systems must combine rapid response with disciplined controls. The platform needed connectivity, matching, market data and trade lifecycle services to work coherently under demanding operating conditions.
The approach
The assignment included architecture and development of core components for a European trading venue. Work covered FIX gateway services, matching and trading algorithms, parameterised controls, real-time data, user-interface integration and reporting requirements.
The value demonstrated
This is experience in engineering systems where performance, reliability and operational change cannot be treated as separate concerns.
