• 4. Write production code, perform code reviews, and own critical components.
• 5. Work closely with the VP and Founder on technical strategy, product roadmap, and engineering priorities.
• 6. Partner with PMs and clients to turn requirements into robust solutions.
• 7. Ensure system reliability, performance, and scalability through strong engineering practices.

Requirements

• 1. Minimum 5 years of experience building systems in financial markets (trading, risk, OMS/EMS, or market data).
• 2. Strong expertise in C# and C++.
• 3. Proven experience building low-latency, performance-critical systems.
• 4. Solid knowledge of MongoDB and SQL databases.
• 5. Experience leading engineering teams while staying hands-on.
• 6. Deep understanding of trading workflows, risk management concepts, and market microstructure.
• 7. Strong system design, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Nice to Have

• 1. Experience with multithreading, memory optimization, and network programming.
• 2. Exposure to FIX protocol, exchange connectivity, and market data feeds.
• 3. Experience in a startup or fast-paced, founder-led environment.

Why Join Us

• 1. Work directly with leadership and have real influence on technical direction.
• 2. Build mission-critical products from the ground up.
• 3. Lead a talented team in a high-impact, fast-moving environment.
