SOC 2134 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £54,700, and Durlston Partners is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts, Quant developer index entry; role builds trading algorithms) or SOC 2433 (Actuaries, economists and statisticians, Financial engineer index entry; quantitative trading systems). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
Ever built something from scratch and seen it become the fastest thing in the market?
A London based trading tech firm is hiring C++ engineers to help build what they (and their clients) genuinely believe is the most advanced trading engine in crypto.
It’s low latency, ML integrated, and already live with some of the biggest institutional players in the space. No legacy, no noise, no middle layers, just a small team of serious engineers moving fast.
You’ll be solving real problems like:
- High-frequency execution across CeFi and DeFi
- TCA at microsecond resolution
- Smart routing, net settlement, and soon, crypto options (basically untouched territory)
You’ll be working side by side with someone who:
- Started coding at 5 years old
- Built the algo behind 75% of global derivatives flow at a top 3 bank ($100m P&L in 4 years)
- Got personally commended for his C++ by the founder of the language
4 days in, up to £200k base, 3 stage process.
If you get a kick out of shaving micros/nanos off a system and want to build something with zero compromises, apply.

Not necessarily. Durlston Partners holds a sponsor licence, but sponsorship for a specific hire is always the employer's decision. Be upfront in your application that you'll require it.

The offer must clear both the general threshold and the SOC 2134 going rate of £54,700. New-entrant and shortage discounts can lower it.
