Job description

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, test, and operate production systems in a complex trading environment.
• Own the correctness, reliability, and operability of the features you build.
• Actively surface and resolve ambiguity in requirements, product logic, and system behavior.
• Write clear, maintainable code with a strong bias toward simplicity and correctness.
• Participate in incident response and follow through with durable fixes and improvements.
• Collaborate closely with peers through code reviews, design discussions, and shared problem-solving.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong engineering fundamentals and sound judgment in complex systems.
• A demonstrated bias toward correctness, reliability, and production ownership.
• Comfort reasoning about non-trivial business logic, stateful systems, and edge cases.
• Consistent self-directed productivity in ambiguous or loosely scoped work.
• Clear, collaborative communication and a strong team-oriented mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with trading systems, exchanges, or other high-stakes domains.
• Production experience with Go (Golang) or performance-sensitive backend systems.
• Prior ownership of services in production, including on-call or incident response.

This Role Is Not a Fit If

• You prefer narrowly scoped tasks with fully specified requirements.
• You avoid production ownership or incident responsibility.
• You optimize primarily for speed or novelty over correctness and clarity.
• You are uncomfortable working in systems with significant complexity and real-world consequences.
