Junior Trade Support Engineer

Founded in 2018, Fasanara Digital is the crypto arm of Fasanara Capital FCA-authorised investment firm managing USD 5 billion. Fasanara Digital is exclusively focused on digital assets and is one of the largest, longest running and best performing market neutral funds in the space. We pursue a rigorous, technologically driven, scientific approach to trading.

We are looking for a Junior Trade Support Engineer to join our front office technology team. This is an entry-level role suited to a highly motivated engineer with a strong STEM background who is eager to work close to live, high-frequency trading systems. You will help monitor, investigate, and resolve real-time trading and infrastructure issues, working alongside traders, quants, and senior engineers to keep our systems running smoothly in fast-moving market conditions.

Responsibilities

  • Monitor live trading systems and market connectivity across multiple venues
  • Investigate real-time trading incidents, anomalies, and performance issues under time pressure
  • Triage production problems and work with developers and quants to identify root causes
  • Perform post-incident analysis and contribute to preventative improvements
  • Build and maintain internal tools, dashboards, and scripts to improve monitoring and operational efficiency
  • Assist with exchange-related issues such as order rejections, latency spikes, and data inconsistencies
  • Help improve operational processes, runbooks, and alerting as the trading platform scales
  • Gradually take on more responsibility for production ownership as experience grows

Requirements

  • STEM degree (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or similar)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a calm, methodical approach under pressure
  • Solid programming fundamentals; experience with Python required
  • Basic understanding of Linux systems and command-line environments
  • Familiarity with networking concepts, logs, and debugging distributed systems is a plus
  • Interest in real-time systems, low-latency environments, and how trading platforms operate
  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to dig into messy, real-world issues
  • Clear communicator who can work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues
  • No prior trading or crypto experience required — curiosity and reliability matter more, but 1+ years of experience would be a strong plus

Benefits

  • Our benefits include:
    • Performance-related Bonus Scheme
    • Private Medical & Dental Insurance through Bupa (including children's cover)
    • Life Insurance, Income Protection & Critical Illness Cover
    • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
    • Salary sacrifice pension with Hargreaves Lansdown (currently matched up to 10%)
    • Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave
    • Emergency Parental Leave, Emergency Childcare & Nursery Benefit
    • Cycle to Work Scheme
    • Charity Giving through CAF
    • Annual Wellbeing Budget
    • Team socials, annual Summer & Christmas parties, and other events throughout the year
