Our team
FXGO is a growing team of talented engineers who are passionate about our product. We take pride in building one of the world’s premier FX trading platforms. Our product drives Bloomberg Terminal sales growth and generates additional revenue through transactions. We are currently hiring for the FXGO Orders team.
The FXGO Orders team owns the FX Orders platform, which serves as both an order management system and, for certain workflows, an execution platform. The platform helps clients manage currency risk by enabling traders to efficiently execute foreign exchange (FX) trades and mitigate market movements. Today, the FX Orders platform acts as a single point of access to algorithms from more than 60+ liquidity providers (sell-side price makers), allowing buy-side traders to submit, pause, edit, and cancel orders. The platform is fully data-driven and designed to support seamless onboarding of new providers.
We are currently scaling the system to efficiently handle large volumes of orders simultaneously. The platform intelligently aggregates and manages hundreds of orders to reduce clients operational overhead. Supporting simultaneous execution at scale requires building highly scalable, distributed systems, an area that is central to our expertise.
