From OpenFX's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
OpenFX is on a mission to move money as freely as data, unrestricted by time zones, banking hours, or legacy systems. We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our stellar early team comes with experience in companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, Paypal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium & others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NfX and other top-tier investors.
Role Overview
We're hiring a Staff Engineer to own the architecture of OpenFX's trading and hedging core — the systems that price a client's trade, execute it, and manage the risk we take on as a result.
Trading owns the client's entire trade experience — quote generation, pricing strategy, the spread engine, and the trade lifecycle across GUI, API, and soon conversational AI. Its north star is Total Payment Volume, with Gross Revenue as the control metric.
Hedging owns inventory and exposure management, risk management, hedging across venues through smart routing, market making, and WAC / PnL / net revenue calculation.
You will be the senior-most individual contributor across both, responsible for the Client Trading Engine, Pricing Engine, Risk Management Engine, and Smart Hedging. This is a hands-on role. You will write code, set architectural direction, and be the person the organisation trusts to get the trade and risk path right.
The problems here are genuinely hard and often under-defined. You'll take large architectural bets in a domain where correctness is measured in real money and latency is measured on a live client trade.
Background in fintech, trading, or cryptocurrencies.
Experience handling financial data — pricing, positions, PnL, or market data.
Experience with pricing, spread, or hedging systems specifically.
Experience with market microstructure or multi-venue execution and smart order routing.
The trading and hedging systems you own are correct, observable, and resilient — failures are contained, detected early, and recoverable.
Architectural decisions hold up without fundamental rework within 12 to 18 months.
Engineers across both pods ship faster because of the abstractions, tooling, and standards you've built.
Systemic risks are anticipated and addressed before they become incidents or PnL surprises.
You've raised the technical ceiling of trading and hedging engineering at OpenFX, not just delivered individual projects.
Competitive salary and benefits package.
Equity in a rapidly growing company.
Opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup at the forefront of fintech innovation.
Opportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure.
Collaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
