About the Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager (Infra) to lead a core team building and running the infrastructure backbone of our trading systems - exchange connectivity, market data infrastructure, cloud/network architecture, and DevOps - across both traditional and crypto trading, with a focus on Indian exchanges.

What You Will Do

1. Lead and mentor a team of 4-5 software engineers building and maintaining exchange connectivity, market data infrastructure, cloud/network architecture, and DevOps for high-frequency trading systems
2. Stay hands-on and write core code alongside the team, not just manage delivery

4. Drive continuous improvement initiatives to optimize trading infrastructure for efficiency and scalability
5.



Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers, traders, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical infra solutions
6. Stay current on developments in financial markets, trading technologies, and regulatory requirements relevant to Indian exchanges
7. Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence within the engineering team

What We're Looking For

1. 7-10 years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a leadership/management role
2. Hands-on expertise in C++, Python, and Golang in a high-performance, low-latency systems context (mandatory)
3. Prior experience in the trading or crypto industry is a must
4. Experience with real-time data processing, messaging protocols, and high-frequency trading infrastructure (e.g., FIX protocol, market data feeds, order execution)
5. Working familiarity with AWS and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
6. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or Engineering from a top-tier institute
7. Proven track record of delivering complex software projects on time and within budget
8. Excellent communication skills with the ability to work cross-functionally with traders and quant researchers
