Execution Systems Engineer - Financial Technology

About the Role

We are seeking a talented Execution Systems Engineer to join our team at Azora Technologies, a leading financial technology company based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. In this role, you will take ownership of live trading infrastructure, ensuring that our systems operate reliably and efficiently. This is not a generic backend role; you will be responsible for specific execution systems, client integrations, trading APIs, and market data connections. As an Execution Systems Engineer, you will be accountable for the performance of these systems during trading hours, making this a critical position within our organization.

What You'll Do

• Maintain and extend C# execution systems that connect to trading and market data APIs (WebSocket, REST, FIX, proprietary clients).
• Integrate new client endpoints across different exchanges and markets.
• Monitor, diagnose, and resolve live trading issues during market hours.
• Build resilient, idempotent, failure-safe processing pipelines designed for restarts and partial failures.
• Implement proper logging, alerting, and observability for execution paths.
• Contribute to Java-based backtesting and data pipeline systems.
• Support end-of-day processing, reconciliation, and back-office workflows.

Requirements

• 4 to 6 years of backend engineering experience in production systems.
• Strong proficiency in C# or Java, with a primary focus on C#.
• Experience with live production systems where failures have real consequences, such as payments, trading, or banking.
• Deep understanding of concurrency, threading, and failure handling.
• Experience being on-call and personally resolving production incidents end-to-end.

Nice to Have

• Experience in financial services, trading platforms, or payment systems.
• Familiarity with trading concepts such as order flow, market data, and position management.
• Experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, IBM MQ) and event-driven architectures.
• Proficiency with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot).

What We Offer

• Competitive salary of AED 18,000 – 22,000 per month.
• Discretionary performance-linked bonuses.
• Comprehensive medical insurance.
• Visa sponsorship and spouse visa support.
• Structured 6-month review tied to execution ownership outcomes.
• Full relocation support for candidates moving to Dubai.
