Responsibilities:

📍Set long-term technical direction: Define, evolve, and steward backend architecture across Trading Systems to ensure scalability, reliability, performance, and security at scale. 📍Operate at highest leverage: Own the most complex, ambiguous, and high-impact technical problems—particularly those spanning multiple teams, services, or domains. 📍Elevate system design standards: Establish and reinforce best practices for distributed system design, data consistency, fault tolerance, and performance in high-throughput trading environments. 📍Partner with product and engineering leadership: Translate long-term business and product strategy into durable technical solutions that scale with the company. 📍Mentor senior engineers: Provide deep technical guidance to Senior and Staff engineers through architecture reviews, technical forums, and hands-on collaboration. 📍Drive operational excellence: Improve observability, reliability, incident response, and operational readiness across critical trading infrastructure. 📍Lead through influence: Build alignment and drive execution through technical credibility, clear communication, and strong judgment—without direct people management responsibility.

Minimum Qualifications:

📍12+ years of professional software engineering experience, including sustained ownership of large-scale, mission-critical backend systems in production. 📍Deep backend engineering expertise, with mastery in at least one programming language (we primarily use Scala and Go, but value strong fundamentals over specific tools). 📍Demonstrated track record of leading high-impact, cross-team technical initiatives that materially improved scalability, reliability, or system correctness. 📍Strong experience designing and operating distributed systems with strict requirements around performance, availability, and data integrity.
