Senior Software Engineer

• Own the books. Maintain and evolve our position, trade, and PnL systems so they remain accurate across every venue.
• Architect the platform that supports trading. Design services that handle real-time exchange flow with the throughput and reliability our quoting and hedging depend on, making the structural calls that keep them fast and correct under load.
• Own the data flows. Operate and harden the public and private pipelines bringing market prices, account state, and trade events into our systems in real time.
• Lead venue integrations end-to-end. Deliver exchange and prime-broker integrations across protocol, account model, settlement, reconciliation, and surveillance and define the patterns we reuse for the next one.
• Model the instrument universe. Own the systems describing every tradable instrument - lifecycle, expiry, margin, RFQs, fast-path quoting - where both correctness and latency matter.
• Build self-healing systems. Design the detection and repair flows that identify position discrepancies and correct them automatically.
• Own hedging infrastructure. Design and refine the gamma and delta hedging systems our trading strategies depend on.
• Deliver reporting. Provide the data internal stakeholders and regulators require, like PnL breakdowns, trade surveillance, treasury accounting, and compliance.
• Raise the bar. Mentor junior engineers, lead by example in code and design reviews, and influence the technical direction of the wider team.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of commercial software engineering experience, including a track record of designing and operating production systems where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable.
• Strong proficiency across our stack. You are comfortable moving between a Rust service, a Python data pipeline, and a complex production issue, and choosing the right tool for each.
• Demonstrated experience building low-latency, high-throughput, or distributed systems; experience in trading, fintech, or another correctness-critical domain is a strong plus.
• Experience with Grafana & PostgreSQL.
• A critical mind that follows things until completion, and the judgment to know what "done" means.
• The ability to confidently design and own completely new components from first principles.
• A high level of responsibility and ownership, and the instinct to lift the people around you.
• Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
