• Design, implement, and optimize components of the firm’s low-latency trading infrastructure in C++ and Python
• Collaborate with traders, middle office, and engineering stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver effective solutions in both CeFi and DeFi environments
• Own deployment and monitoring of trading system components in production
• Investigate and resolve production issues with a focus on uptime and performance
• Identify architectural and algorithmic improvements to reduce latency and increase throughput
• Contribute to technical discussions, design reviews, and code reviews



Candidate Profile

• 5+ years of experience developing performant, production-grade software
• At least 3 years of professional experience in both C++ and Python
• Deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and systems programming
• Demonstrated ability to build low-latency, high-throughput systems
• Comfortable balancing rapid feature delivery with system robustness and reliability
• Willing to support the systems they build in a production environment
• Strong communicator, capable of articulating technical ideas clearly
• Holds a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field with strong academic results
• Interest in financial systems, market microstructure, or cryptocurrency trading is a plus



What They Offer

• The opportunity to work at the forefront of digital asset trading and contribute to critical low-latency infrastructure
• A fully remote and flexible working environment
• High degree of autonomy and the ability to influence both technical direction and business outcomes
• A collaborative, high-performance culture focused on solving hard problems at speed and scale
