Valstro is an ambitious FinTech partnership on a mission to redefine trading technology for global, multi-asset class institutional clients. We are a people-first company.

We're not just building software—we're engineering highly modular, well-tested, well-documented, and easily discoverable applications.

At Valstro, we're here to shake up an industry that's long overdue for tech-driven disruption. As we expand our capabilities and reach, we aim to push the boundaries of what's possible.

What will you be doing?

  • Enhancing/expanding existing applications and services, as well as contributing to the development of new ones.
  • Participating in architecture discussions, technology selection, and design to deliver high-quality software.
  • Building, testing, deploying, and maintaining stable, resilient and performant software.
  • Collaborating across teams to refine processes, improve tools, and deliver impactful solutions.
  • Continuously improving your skills, staying up to date with the latest technologies, and actively sharing knowledge and best practices with the team.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience building enterprise-level software with TypeScript.
  • Hands-on expertise in Kubernetes and containerized microservices architectures.
  • A deep understanding of cloud-native development, CI/CD pipelines, and distributed systems.
  • Passion for delivering high-quality, performant software in a collaborative team environment.

What You Need To Bring

  • Real-world experience developing production systems in TypeScript.
  • Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, with hands-on experience using GitHub Actions/Workflows and other industry-standard tools.
  • Experience building multi-threaded/concurrent applications.
  • Experience working in a Linux environment.
  • Hands-on experience with containerized environments, particularly Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Practical use of SQL databases.
  • Experience working with messaging queues.
  • Bonus: Experience with Nx for monorepo management.
  • Bonus: Experience developing systems for Equity Trading in Capital Markets.

Benefits

Valstro offers an excellent benefits package, including pension plans, flexible time off and highly competitive compensation. Our leadership team brings a wealth of experience and deep industry knowledge.

We are a distributed team, with staff in the UK, the NYC area, and across the US. While remote work remains a core part of our culture, NYC-based employees are expected to take advantage of the Midtown office space and collaborate in person on a regular basis.
