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

• 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

• Our benefits include:

• Performance-related Bonus Scheme

• Private Medical & Dental Insurance through Bupa (including children's cover)

• Life Insurance, Income Protection & Critical Illness Cover
