• Architect scalable microservices, APIs, and database models for real-time market data and future trade execution.
• Develop integrations that support seamless experiences across web and mobile applications.
• Own projects end to end—from understanding the problem and defining the approach to deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Establish technical standards, conduct code reviews, and guide a small engineering team while remaining hands-on.
• Introduce tools, patterns, and engineering practices that improve scalability, reliability, and development velocity.
• Build toward execution readiness so the platform can securely and reliably support live trading once regulatory approvals are in place.



What We’re Looking For
• Experience designing and launching backend systems from the ground up, ideally in an early-stage or high-growth startup.
• Previous responsibility as a technical lead or engineering team lead.
• Strong hands-on experience across backend engineering, including APIs, data pipelines, integrations, infrastructure, and databases.
• Production experience with Golang, or robust backend fundamentals and a demonstrated ability to learn new languages quickly.
• Experience building scalable, reliable, and secure distributed systems.
• A track record of owning systems after launch, including observability, performance, reliability, and incident response.
• Experience in a product-led engineering environment where teams own business and user outcomes.
• A proactive, adaptable mindset suited to rapidly changing priorities and zero-to-one execution. Nice to Have
• Experience in trading, broking, fintech, or capital-markets products.
• Familiarity with market-data systems, order-management workflows, low-latency architecture, or financial data models.
• Understanding of the security, compliance, and regulatory requirements involved in building financial platforms.
• Experience preparing systems for high-volume, business-critical transaction processing.
