Job Details
We are seeking a Staff Engineer to join our Core Trading Team. This is a high-impact technical role for someone who wants to remain deeply hands-on while shaping the architecture of our trading infrastructure.
You will be the technical authority on low-latency systems, responsible for pushing the boundaries of performance, determinism, and scale across order routing, execution, and market connectivity.
You will not manage people directly â instead, you will lead through technical expertise, code quality, and design influence, mentoring others while continuing to be a principal contributor to mission-critical systems.
- Own the architecture, design, and technical roadmap of the core trading platform.
- Lead initiatives on low-latency optimizations, deterministic performance, and resiliency.
- Guide integration with exchanges and liquidity venues (FIX, OUCH, ITCH, proprietary APIs) at scale.
- Establish best practices for high-frequency trading system development (testing, monitoring, incident response).
- Partner with risk and compliance teams to embed real-time pre-trade risk, credit, and margin controls.
