Trading Technology & Data
Trading Technology & Data search at Kraft Search builds the stack that short-term power desks trade on. Trading systems engineers, algo developers and market data engineers are sourced from desks, vendors and adjacent software teams who already work with intraday and balancing markets.
What we place
Permanent platform hires
Engineering and data roles that sit close to the book: core platforms, execution engines, data pipelines and monitoring.
Technology leadership
Heads of trading technology, CTOs and data leaders who can align engineering with trading, optimisation and risk.
Market mapping
A structured view of who has shipped comparable systems, where they sit and what it would take for them to move.
How we hire into trading technology
Tighten the role
Stack, markets, shift pattern and the change this hire must deliver.
Map who has shipped it
The register is queried for engineers who have built similar systems across trading firms, utilities, vendors and BESS and VPP teams in the fourteen countries we cover.
Shortlist against the map
Technical checks and market fit come first, so interview time is only spent on people who can do the job and would take it.
Run a contained process
Interviews, offer and notice managed until the engineer is fully live on your stack.

What Heads of Trading Technology ask us first.
How quickly will I see a first shortlist?
For a clearly scoped technology or data brief, we work to one to two weeks, drawn from the whole market rather than only applicants.
What if the role is hard to fill in my home market?
Hard briefs are normal in trading tech. We map who has shipped comparable platforms in power and approach them directly, whether or not they are active.
What does good look like?
A platform or algo hire has worked when the desk is trading on what they built and would fight to keep them.
The other four role families.

Quant, Forecasting & Analysis
