• Profile, tune, and continuously optimize systems for maximum speed and reliability
• Partner with quant traders to turn trading ideas into scalable, production-ready systems
• Help shape flexible architecture that scales with trading volume and new opportunities
• Keep systems stable and running in a fast-moving, latency-critical environment

What We're Looking For

• Solid grounding in traditional finance, systems architecture, and trading infrastructure
• 5+ years building and maintaining low-latency systems for algorithmic trading
• Strong low-level programming skills (Rust or C++ OR Java)
• Hands-on experience with exchange/broker APIs, OMS, pricing/risk engines, or smart order routers
• A knack for system-level performance tuning, monitoring, and debugging
