Senior Backend Engineer (L3) - Trading

About Us 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 Senior Backend Engineer for our Hedging team — the team that owns the risk OpenFX carries. Hedging owns inventory and exposure management, risk management, hedging positions across venues through smart routing strategies, market making, Cost, PnL and net revenue calculation. Every trade a client places creates exposure, and this team decides what we hold, what we hedge, where we hedge it, and what it costs us. You will own significant parts of the Risk Management Engine and Smart Hedging end-to-end — design, build, ship, and operate. This is a hands-on senior IC role with high ownership and accountability - the routing and exposure logic you write today shows up in tomorrow's net revenue. We're specifically looking for someone with a trading background — you've built systems where a position had to be accurate and a hedge had to fire in time, and where a bug meant real money. Think a crypto exchange, brokerage, or trading platform (CoinDCX, Groww, CoinSwitch Kuber, or similar). Key Responsibilities Design, build, and operate services across the risk path — inventory and exposure tracking, hedge decisioning, venue routing, and WAC / PnL / net revenue calculation. Own features end-to-end: scoping, technical design, delivery, rollout, and the operational health of what you ship. Drive work to closure with Product, Design, and Operations. You are accountable for adoption, not just delivery. Act as a

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 frontend-heavy Full Stack Engineer for our Trading team — the team that owns the client's entire trade experience. Trading owns quote generation, pricing strategy, the spread engine, and the trade lifecycle across GUI, API, and soon conversational AI. Our north star is Total Payment Volume, with Gross Revenue as the control metric. You will own the client-facing surface of that experience. This is where an institutional client sees a live quote, understands the price and fees, commits to a trade, and tracks it through to settlement. You will own architecture for these flows — state management, data fetching, error handling, and performance — and be trusted with the correctness of what the client sees. You will also work across the stack. You'll build and extend the APIs your surfaces depend on, model the data behind them, and ship the backend piece of a feature rather than waiting on someone else to unblock you. You don't need deep backend systems experience for this role, but you do need to be genuinely comfortable there. We're specifically looking for someone with a trading background. Think a crypto exchange, brokerage, or trading platform (CoinDCX, Groww, CoinSwitch Kuber, or similar). Key Responsibilities Own the architecture of critical client trade flows — quote and pricing surfaces, trade initiation, and status and settlement tracking — across GUI, API and conversational AI.

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 backend-heavy Full Stack Engineer for our Payments team — the team that owns how money actually moves for our clients. Payments owns corridor expansion (EUR, MXN, COP, AED, and beyond), the operationalization of our EU licenses (safeguarding of customer funds, transaction monitoring), and the payments product across GUI and API. Our north star is payment volume moved reliably, with corridor success rate and on-time settlement as the control metrics. You will own the systems on that money path. This is where a client's payment gets initiated, routed to the right partner, tracked through cut-offs and settlement, and reconciled — and where a failure is not a bug ticket but stuck money. You will own the backend of these flows — partner integrations, payment lifecycle state machines, webhooks, retries, and idempotency — and be trusted with the correctness of what actually happens to the money. You will also work across the stack. The payments product ships on both API and GUI surfaces, and you'll build the dashboard views your backend powers — payment status, tracking, reporting — rather than waiting on someone else to unblock you. You don't need deep frontend expertise for this role, but you do need to be genuinely comfortable there. We're specifically looking for someone with a payments or fintech background. Think a payment gateway, PSP, neobank, or cross-border payments company (Razorpay, Juspay,

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. Two teams sit inside this scope: 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. Key Responsibilities Own the architecture of the Client Trading Engine, Pricing Engine, Risk Management Engine, and Smart Hedging. Break complex, ambiguous systems into smaller components with clear contracts, clear scope, and independent deliverability. Set and
