Technology at D2X

Digital asset markets operate continuously, 24/7/365. To support this, we build and operate a highly resilient, low-latency exchange platform using modern engineering practices.

Our technology stack emphasizes:

• Low-latency, event-driven architectures
• Continuous delivery and rapid iteration
• Strong observability and real-time analytics
• Robust data pipelines and warehousing for trading, risk, and reporting

Technology is a core differentiator at D2X and is tightly integrated with product development and market structure design.

Trading Services at D2X

Trading Services is a product-focused team that sits at the intersection of Trading, Technology, and Market Structure. We are responsible for the evolution, quality, and trading capability of the exchange. We put a strong emphasis on removing any manual actions, by automating wherever possible.

As a member of Trading Services, you own the trading product from market open to close and play a central role in delivering new functionality across the exchange. The team’s work is structured around three core pillars:

1. Client Onboarding & Integration

• Lead the technical onboarding of trading firms and software vendors
• Support exchange API configuration, certification, sandbox testing, and production go-lives
• Act as a technical and functional point of contact for participants integrating with the platform

2. Product Development & Testing

• Contribute to the definition, testing, and rollout of new trading features, products, and order types
• Validate trading, post-trade, and settlement behaviour in close collaboration with Engineering, Trading, Risk, and Compliance
• Own product quality metrics and drive continuous improvements across the trading lifecycle

3. Market Analytics & Automation

• Maintain oversight of trading activity and core platform behaviour using monitoring and analytics tools
• Identify useful information for members or internal teams, and help to automate the generation of this data, in our data warehouse pipeline (Python, Dagster, Iceberg).
• Investigate new technologies and product opportunities, that D2X may adopt.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the functional integrity of the trading platform across trading, post-trade, and settlement flows
• Act as a product and trading-domain expert for internal teams and external participants
• Support technical integrations, platform changes, and new product launches
• Collaborate closely with Engineering on feature design, testing, and production readiness
• Contribute to the design and evolution of the data warehouse and trading analytics
• Drive improvements in processes, tooling, and documentation to enhance platform quality and participant experience
• Create and maintain clear, high-quality documentation for both internal and external stakeholders

Your Skill Set

• Recent graduate or final-year student in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• Strong interest in analytics, financial markets, trading systems, and market structure
• Curiosity about digital assets and regulated trading environments
• Clear and confident verbal and written communication skills in English
• Available for 40 hours per week

What we offer

Through this internship, you will gain hands-on exposure to how a regulated exchange designs, builds, and evolves a modern trading platform. You will work closely with experienced professionals across Trading, Technology, and Risk, developing both technical and market-structure expertise.

We aim to be flexible and supportive as you start your career, while giving you real ownership and meaningful responsibility.

• Competitive reimbursement of €1,000
• Energetic, collaborative, and entrepreneurial work culture
