Role Overview This is a senior technology leadership role for someone who can design systems, manage people, and ship performance .

You’ll work closely with quants, traders, and product heads to ensure our technology stays lean, fast, and ahead of the curve.

Lead a multi-disciplinary team of engineers working across Rust, C++, Python, Node.js, and React . Review and guide implementation of trading systems, market data pipelines, and distributed services. Build a high-performance engineering culture — clear accountability, fast iteration, strong code quality. Work directly with quant and trading leads to translate market needs into resilient, scalable systems. Oversee infra and ops strategy: deployments, observability, system reliability, and runtime performance. Hire and grow the team — making the right trade-offs between speed, quality, and scale. What We’re Looking For 10+ years of experience building complex systems, ideally in a trading, HFT, or infrastructure-heavy environment. Deep understanding of distributed systems, performance optimization, and system design. Hands-on experience with multiple layers of the stack — networking, messaging, compute, and UI. Strong engineering fundamentals and technical judgment — comfortable reading and reviewing production-grade Rust, C++, and Python. Prior leadership experience managing cross-functional engineering teams with full delivery ownership. Bias for action, product-minded thinking, and zero tolerance for technical debt without purpose.
