Our Values
Customer Focused
At 4OTC, we put the needs of our customers first. From aiding your efforts to integrate with our single, industry-standard API or client library implementations, to providing advice on optimal cloud configuration, we will work tirelessly to ensure that you get the best experience from our products.
Performance
We believe in transparency where our services are concerned; that's why we provide internal timestamps on every message, so you can measure the performance of our services. Performance optimisation is a part of our development process – we are always aiming to make our services faster.
Our services are co-located with the venues to minimise transmission time. Customers can take advantage of our network backbone to reliably move data between geographic regions.
Connectivity Expertise
We have written to a wide range of institutional and proprietary APIs. We can provide connectivity to a FIX API within days, and a Crypto Exchange API within 2 weeks.
Customers need only write to our single API to connect to our entire list of venues.
Careers
We are expanding our development team to improve our existing product offerings, and to develop new product lines. Successful candidates will join a collaborative, dynamic, and exciting company, where there are excellent opportunities for growth and learning. Our team is made up of experts in the field of high-throughput, low-latency trading systems with a broad background in the FX and Crypto industries.
