Low-latency FX and futures trading infrastructure for brokers and hedge funds
Fluent Trade Technologies operates a unified API platform connecting automated trading systems to FX and futures venues, handling billions in daily transactions. The tech stack—Linux, C++, Python, MariaDB, Solace—reflects a performance-focused, on-premises infrastructure play. Active hiring leans engineering-heavy with senior engineers and leads, concentrated around disaster recovery, DevOps, and latency reduction, suggesting the platform is scaling capacity and hardening operational resilience rather than building new features.
