Software Engineer in Zurich

At CoinUnited.io, you will join the Zurich engineering team building the platform that gives traders one account to reach crypto, stocks, indices, forex, commodities and pre-IPO markets around the clock. We have been building since 2018. You will build features traders use across global markets, with ownership over what you ship.

This role is based in our Zurich office. The desk runs on Central European Time, covering the SMI and Swiss equities from the SIX open. Zurich also covers the franc, which behaves differently from the other European currencies we offer: it is where flow goes when traders want out of risk, so this desk is busiest on the days the rest of the market is falling.
