We come from the industry
Founders shaped inside world-leading quant funds and asset managers — we speak fills, Sharpe and basis points from day one.
We build the software your trading runs on.
Execution systems, backtesting, market-data pipelines, ML signals and risk dashboards — built by a small team of senior engineers out of world-leading quant funds. Tell us what you're stuck on, we'll tell you when it's ready.
Why work with us
Quants who build — not an agency that learned the words.
We're also sitting on the other side of the screen — trading ourselves, running our own strategies in production. So you won't spend the first month explaining what a fill, a drawdown or a data-feed gap is. Here's what else we do differently.
Senior engineers only
Senior engineers on every line of code — no juniors hidden in the bill, and no work handed to offshore teams.
Built for real-time pressure
We trade ourselves, so we know how algorithms fail with real money on the line — and design those failures out.
Maintained, not abandoned
Markets move and broker APIs break. We don't disappear at launch — the people who built it keep it running.
What we build
The software your trading runs on — end to end.
Six things we build most often for trading desks and platforms. The list isn't exhaustive — if you've got something that doesn't fit a box, tell us anyway.
Trading systems & execution
Live trading infrastructure: order routing, execution logic and the engines that turn a signal into a filled order — built for speed and correctness.
Dashboards, analytics & risk
Real-time P&L, position and risk monitoring, plus trader-facing analytics and controls. See exactly what your book is doing — and intervene instantly.
Market-data pipelines
Ingest, clean, store and stream market data — historical and real-time, across venues. The reliable foundation every strategy sits on.
Strategy research & backtesting
Backtesting frameworks, sub-period analysis and ML/alpha research — built to cut false positives, so an idea is tested properly before it touches the market.
Automation & integrations
Broker and exchange API integrations, trading bots, and LLM agents that read your sources and execute — removing the manual steps from your workflow.
Advisory & maintenance
Architecture and code review for trading systems, and reliable upkeep of strategies and infrastructure already running live.
How we build
Two paths, both fast.
Every project sits somewhere on a spectrum — from a backtest you need this week to a live execution system that has to run for years.
(AI) Software Build
Market data → Model → Live execution
Often you start with just an idea. We wire up the data, build and train the model, and run it live with monitoring and risk controls — every layer is ours. There's no black box and no third party to wait on: when the market shifts or the strategy needs tuning, we can reach into any part of the system and change it. From raw market data to a strategy executing in production, it's one team accountable for the whole stack.
A web build
Design → Build → Live
A dashboard, a backtester, a broker integration, a customer-facing platform — designed clean, built on a fast stack, live in days not months. We take care of the whole build: the interface your traders or clients actually use, the data and APIs feeding it, and the deployment that keeps it online. Once it's live we stay on to refine it and grow it as your needs change.
A few things worth knowing
Real numbers behind the team.
No marketing fluff. These come from the firms we built models inside, the strategies we've run, and the work we've shipped since.

About Terarium
Where we come from.
Terarium builds software for the trading industry.
The founders come from world-leading quant funds and asset managers — including a global asset manager with €200bn+ under management — where we built alpha models, hedged interest-rate risk for pension and insurance clients, modelled corporate credit, and ran systematic strategies live 24/7. We took that experience and built Terarium around it: trading software, built the way we'd want it built for our own desk.
We work with prop desks, quant teams, trading platforms and individual traders across Europe, the US and Asia. Some projects take a morning, some take many months — what stays the same is how we run them.
Trading software that gets built — and stays built.
