Responsibilities

📍We are looking for a Head of Data Engineering to lead and architect the complete data infrastructure pipeline for our trading operations. This role will be crucial in building a scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient system for handling vast amounts of market trading data, real-time news feeds, and a variety of internal and external data sources. The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader who understands the entire data lifecycle and can drive innovation while collaborating across teams to meet the needs of research and trading functions. 📍Data Architecture and Infrastructure Design: Lead the design, architecture, and implementation of data pipelines capable of handling large volumes of market data and real-time news feeds. Ensure the infrastructure supports trading and research needs while maintaining data integrity, security, and performance at scale. 📍Data Integration and Management: Architect solutions for ingesting, storing, and integrating structured and unstructured data from multiple sources including market feeds, historical data, and external news feeds. 📍Develop processes to normalize and organize this data for use across different departments. 📍Data Storage and Management Techniques: Apply advanced data management practices to ensure the scalability, availability, and efficiency of data storage. Implement techniques like sharding (partitioning data to improve scalability), replication (to ensure data availability), and data partitioning (splitting data into manageable units for better performance). Utilize strategies like indexing for faster query resolution and compression to optimize storage costs and performance. 📍Support Research and Analytics Teams: Collaborate with research and analytics teams to understand their data needs and build frameworks that empower data exploration, analysis, and model development. Create tools for overlaying data from multiple sources and identifying relationships to inform trade ideation and execution. 📍Real-Time Data Processing: Design and implement systems capable of handling high-frequency data streams, including real-time market data and news, ensuring that the trading and research teams can act on insights as they emerge. 📍Cost Efficiency: Ensure that data storage, processing, and management are done in a cost-effective manner, optimizing both hardware and software resources. Implement solutions that balance high performance with cost control. 📍Leadership and Team Management: Lead and grow the data engineering team, providing mentorship, guidance, and support to foster a collaborative and innovative work environment. Drive strategic decision-making and set clear objectives for the team’s performance. 📍Cross-Department Collaboration: Work closely with various teams, including trading, research, and IT, to ensure seamless integration of data infrastructure and alignment with business goals. 📍Technology Evaluation and Selection: Stay ahead of the curve by continuously evaluating and adopting the most suitable technologies for the organization’s data engineering needs. Ensure that the systems align with the latest best practices in data management.
