Qualifications

• Lead architectural design and implementation of the next-generation matching engine, taking ownership of technical decisions.
• Define and push latency/throughput metrics including TPS and tail latency targets.
• Design and implement high-availability disaster recovery and fault-recovery mechanisms.
• Build and lead a top-tier technical team for sustained capability uplift.

Responsibilities

• Lead the architectural design and implementation of the next-generation matching engine — take full ownership of technical decisions spanning matching models, order‑book data structures, memory management and lock‑free concurrency, with direct accountability for performance metrics.
• Establish engineering standards for latency and throughput — define key metrics including TPS and P99/P999 latency, and drive the team to continuously push toward performance limits instead of maintaining the status quo.
• Build high‑availability disaster recovery and fault‑recovery mechanisms — design multi‑active architectures, primary‑standby failover workflows and business‑continuity solutions to guarantee zero system outages under extreme market conditions, hardware failures or network partition scenarios.
• Build and lead a top‑tier technical team — foster a strong engineering culture and drive continuous capability uplift across the team.
