Junior Python Developer (Fresher / 1–2 Years) Full-time · In office · Chennai, India · 0–2 years of experience

ABOUT K-Hawk Capital: Khawk, LLC is a New York-based systematic trading firm managing capital across equities, futures, and options on behalf of institutional allocators. We run a lean, technically driven operation built entirely on proprietary infrastructure — from execution and market data to real-time P&L; reporting. Every system here is production-critical and touches live capital, and we hire engineers who expect that standard.

THE ROLE: We are hiring a junior Python developer — a fresher or someone with up to two years of experience — to join our Chennai team and be trained hands-on by senior engineers on the systems that power Khawk’s trading operations: market data pipelines, execution infrastructure, internal reporting, and system monitoring. It’s a rare chance for an early-career engineer to work on live, mission-critical infrastructure from day one.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN AND CONTRIBUTE TO: Market data infrastructure — real-time feeds from exchanges including CME,



NYSE, and Nasdaq via the Options IT AtlasFeed API. Execution and connectivity — FIX connectivity to broker-dealers, order routing, and trade reconciliation. P&L; and reporting systems — internal tools tracking real-time P&L; across equities, futures, and options, plus our proprietary budget and performance tracking application. Infrastructure and automation — our Linux-based AWS EC2 infrastructure, and automation of data sync, reconciliation, and system health monitoring.
