Our technology makes it simple to create, combine, and extend large-scale, high-performance intelligent systems in ways that were never before possible. As pioneers within our industry, we hire top talent and strive to build the next generation of thought leaders.

Broadway is seeking Senior Software Engineers to develop state-of-the-art C++ applications for our groundbreaking automated trading platform. We engineer and manage high-frequency, low-latency, distributed trading systems that allow our customers to trade around the clock. Our platform technology simplifies creating and extending these large-scale, high-performance, integrated systems.

We are a growing international enterprise software company that is built and run by engineers, with a long track record building software that powers the trading systems of some of the largest banks in the world. We write the software and supply APIs to allow those banks to focus on what they do best: modeling and predicting the direction of the market based on real time data that flows through our applications.

Broadway’s solutions are built on the Toc, our core platform for scalable high-performance distributed computing. For nearly two decades, we’ve been using the Toc to build intelligent trading systems for leading financial institutions.

As part of our team of collaborative, talented engineers, you will own (typically multiple months-long) development projects end-to-end, from conception through support and maintenance, including many fast-cycle version iterations.
