Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

We serve investors, traders, and quants with a platform to design investment strategies. They code up trading strategies and test them on historical data. When they're ready, they can live trade on their brokerage.

Under the hood, we curate and update hundreds of terabytes of data - covering financial data (e.g., stock prices, options prices), fundamental data (e.g., PE Ratios, company debt), and alternative sources (e.g., news articles, sentiment). We have a powerful data processing stack that handles ingestion and distribution of all this data to our different consumers.

Note: We have a slight preference for UK/Europe applicants, so you're awake at 4am ET long before the markets open.

Responsibilities

We're seeking a full-time, mid to senior C# engineer to manage, maintain, and expand our data stack. Your responsibilities include:

• Monitoring existing data infrastructure (historical processing, daily data updates, and live feeds).
• Debugging and improving data infrastructure when required.
• Responding to user reports of data issues and patching data.
• Working with third-party vendors to source data for gaps.
• Onboarding new data sources to provide our community with more content for strategies.

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in C#, Linux, Dot Net, OOP coding, and Python scripting.
• Experience with enumerable, streaming code design, efficiently working with terabytes of data.
• Comfortable with the high-stakes, on-call nature of data engineering.
• Meticulous attention to detail to quickly identify and resolve data issues.

Our Ideal Candidate

• Clones our repository (LEAN), builds it successfully, runs the unit tests, and attaches the test results to the application. Applications without this test data will be ignored.
