Life Trading is a growing proprietary trading company with offices in Australia and the UK. We are driven by a mission to achieve success in trading by leveraging cutting-edge technology and embodying our core values.

You'll work closely with two experienced developers in a hybrid Sydney-based environment to build a high-performance, scalable platform that meets the demanding needs of real-time trading.
Your work will directly impact multiple trading desks, enabling faster workflows, better performance, and a future-proof architecture for years to come.

- Implement unit tests and support test-driven development practices.
- Analyse legacy codebase to define migration requirements.
- Work directly with traders to understand workflows and pain points.
- Facilitate user acceptance testing and iterate on solutions based on feedback.
- Collaborate closely with the existing developer team in a hybrid environment.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical planning.
- Contribute to documentation and knowledge sharing.
- 3-5+ years commercial experience with C# 11+ and .NET 7+.
- 2-3+ years developing WPF applications with XAML.
- Strong understanding of MVVM and software design patterns.
- Solid experience with test-driven development and unit testing.
- Familiarity with commercial component libraries (Syncfusion preferred).
- Ability to work directly with end users to gather and refine requirements.
- Hands-on experience with Syncfusion WPF grids and controls.
- Real-time or high-frequency data processing experience.
- Background in trading or financial services environments.
- Building reusable components and frameworks.
- Experience working on complex, performance-sensitive applications.
You'll join a small, highly skilled development team focused on delivering high-impact technology used by our traders daily. We value direct feedback, rapid iteration, and working closely with our users to ensure our systems meet the demands of live trading.
