Role Overview
You will architect and lead the development of the firm's entire market-making technology stack-from exchange connectivity and low-latency quoting engines to risk systems and monitoring infrastructure. This is a foundational role: you will shape system design, development practices, and technology standards from day zero.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build a production-grade market-making platform (pricing engine, quoting engine, risk engine, order-management, market-data handlers, monitoring)
- Lead low-latency engineering efforts within cloud-based environments (AWS, GCP, etc.)
- Build robust exchange connectors and handle idiosyncrasies of different crypto derivatives venues
- Develop simulation/testing frameworks for strategy validation and stress testing
- Implement automated failover, redundancy, and protection against exchange outages, API degradation, and rate-limit issues
- Collaborate closely with traders on strategy logic, pricing models, and operational workflows
- Establish engineering best practices, code quality standards, and deployment processes
Requirements
- 10+ years building market-making, HFT, or real-time trading system
- Strong expertise in C++/Rust for performance-critical code; Python for research infrastructure
- Experience architecting trading systems end-to-end (market data, order routing, risk controls)
- Familiarity with cloud network performance and optimizing for low latency in a non-co-located environment
- Strong understanding of exchange APIs (WebSocket, REST, FIX variants)
- Prior experience collaborating directly with traders/quant teams
