We are committed to building the most innovative and trusted platform in the world, supporting the entire trading lifecycle.

We are a tight-knit yet globally distributed team of highly experienced engineers and business leaders, with hubs in New York, London, Singapore, and Cyprus. You’ll be part of a hybrid-friendly environment where your unique talents and insights will play a crucial role in building something extraordinary.

Talos operates at the intersection of crypto and capital markets, building high-performance systems to support the rapidly evolving digital asset space. As a Software Engineer at Talos, you’ll collaborate with our team to develop the backend platform that powers institutional crypto trading.

You'll have the opportunity to work on key areas such as order routing, market data connectivity, position management, and risk systems. We’re looking for engineers eager to take ownership of their work and contribute to the entire development lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing and deployment.

At Talos, we value engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, working in a fast-paced environment, and learning from experienced teammates. Prior experience in finance or crypto is a plus but not required, we’re more interested in your ability to write great code, think critically, and work collaboratively.
