Principal Engineer CRB

The engineering team's goal is to continually improve the entire ecosystem-spanning data, research, trading, and post-trade analytics. As a Principal Engineer, you will own end-to-end delivery of new features and projects, engaging in everything from trading framework design, back-end strategy implementation, and research infrastructure and tool development. You will collaborate closely with quants, traders, and other engineering teams to build a robust and scalable CRB platform.
Responsibilities:
• Platform Development: Enhance and maintain the CRB ecosystem, including research tools, data pipelines, trading frameworks, back-testing infrastructure, and post-trade analysis systems.
• End-to-End Project Ownership: Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements, design solutions, implement code, and oversee production deployments.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Partner with teammates and business stakeholders to align technical solutions with strategic goals and provide guidance to junior engineers.
• Light DevOps & Infrastructure: Contribute to operational monitoring (e.g., Prometheus), CI/CD pipelines, and other essential tooling.
• Performance Optimization: Identify and fix performance bottlenecks in multi-threaded systems, ensuring high availability and low latency.
• Technical Exploration: Investigate emerging technologies-particularly in data analysis and machine learning-and adapt them to evolving platform needs.
Ideal Candidate Background:
• Experience: 7+ years of professional software development with exposure to capital markets or trading (equities and/or execution).
• Technical Skills: Proficient in Python with some exposure to data analysis (Pandas, NumPy) or similar (R, MATLAB). Solid background in object-oriented programming (Java preferred; C++ or C# also valued). Familiarity with Linux-based systems (configuration, scripting, deployment). Docker and/or Kubernetes experience is a plus. Knowledge of statistics or machine learning is a plus (interactions with quant and analytics systems). Understanding of concurrency, networking, and real-time applications.
• Personal Attributes: Versatile and passionate about technology, comfortable exploring new tools and frameworks. Demonstrated ability to work independently and take ownership in a self-service environment. Thrives in a fast-paced setting where adaptability and accountability are paramount.
