About

👋🏼 I lead the Trading Technology desk at Orbis, managing a team of experienced recruiters focused on Software Engineering and Technical hiring across Financial Services in EMEA and the US. We partner with some of the world’s most successful financial institutions — including hedge funds, HFTs, asset managers, and boutique trading firms — to find and place elite software engineering talent. With over 9 years’ experience in full-cycle technical recruitment, my focus spans Software Engineering, Design, and Product, always with a strong lens on diversity and inclusion 🤝 I’m passionate about building high-performing teams, both internally and for our clients, and take pride in delivering a consultative, data-informed approach to recruitment. Whether you're looking to grow your team, explore new opportunities, or simply exchange thoughts on market trends, feel free to reach out. I also (try to) stay active in the wider tech community — regularly hosting events, panels, and sharing insights from the world of tech and finance 🎤💡 📨 joe@weareorbis.com
