About Us
OXBO are partnered with a Dubai-based investment firm with a focus on innovative, founder-led businesses shaping the global sports & technology industries. They diversify in cutting-edge real estate projects and other future-defining sectors.
They’re now building out a proprietary algorithmic trading business focused on the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency markets. Their core activities involve designing, developing, and deploying automated trading strategies across major exchanges with a focus on highly-liquid spot and derivatives instruments. We are building a technology-driven trading platform that emphasizes speed, reliability, and scalability.
They’re building a technology-driven trading platform from first principles. The platform must be reliable, secure, observable, and scalable. It will operate across multiple centralised exchanges and support 24/7 automated trading with robust risk controls and operational transparency.
This is a greenfield build.
Role Overview
They are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to design and implement the application and control layers surrounding our the C++ execution systems.

- Control plane services
- Risk and position visibility layers
- Secure API services
- Data services and configuration systems
- Early-stage tooling and operational interfaces

- Develop data services using relational databases (Postgres preferred) and appropriate NoSQL/time-series systems
- Collaborate with DevSecOps on Kubernetes (AWS EKS) deployments
- Contribute to CI/CD workflows (GitLab)
- Ensure systems fail safely and preserve capital under adverse conditions
- Design service boundaries that can evolve without architectural lock-in
