About Infinite Code

Infinite Code is a software development company building cutting-edge technology for the financial markets. We are a team of engineers who thrive on complexity, precision, and performance — crafting the systems that power modern trading at scale.


The Role

We're looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join our team in Dubai and take a central role in building high-performance trading infrastructure. You'll work on the core systems that handle real-time data, order execution, and financial workflows — where reliability, low latency, and correctness are non-negotiable.

This is a technically demanding and highly rewarding role for an engineer who wants to work on systems that truly matter.

What You'll Do
  • Design and build robust, low-latency backend services powering trading infrastructure
  • Develop and maintain high-throughput APIs and data pipelines for real-time financial data
  • Architect scalable systems capable of handling large volumes of transactions with precision
  • Collaborate with quants, traders, and product stakeholders to translate requirements into reliable software
  • Own components end-to-end — from design and implementation to deployment and monitoring
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and drive continuous improvements in system reliability and speed
  • Mentor junior engineers and champion engineering best practices across the team
What We're Looking For
  • 7+ years of professional backend development experience
  • Proven track record building and operating trading systems or financial infrastructure in production
  • Hands-on experience designing and implementing Central Limit Order Books (CLOB) and/or matching engines — you understand the mechanics deeply, not just theoretically
  • Deep expertise in low-latency, high-throughput system design — you've solved these problems before, at scale
  • Strong proficiency in a performance-oriented backend language (Go, C++, Java, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of trading protocols and financial data standards (FIX, WebSockets, etc.)
  • Expert-level grasp of distributed systems, concurrency, and fault-tolerant architecture
  • Experience with time-series and relational databases in high-frequency data environments
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to lead technical discussions with senior stakeholders
Nice to Have
  • Experience with blockchain infrastructure — on-chain order books, DEX mechanics, smart contract interaction, or building on EVM-compatible or other Layer 1/Layer 2 networks
  • Familiarity with the intersection of CeFi and DeFi trading systems is a strong plus
  • Contributions to open-source projects in the fintech or systems space
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices
What We Offer
  • Highly competitive compensation package
  • On-site role in Dubai — one of the world's leading financial and technology hubs
  • Meaningful ownership in a focused, high-caliber engineering team
  • A culture built on autonomy, mastery, and delivering exceptional work
  • The opportunity to build systems that operate at the frontier of financial technology
