Market Data Platform Engineer — Real-Time Systems

About The Team

We build and operate the core market-data platform behind real-time trading, analytics, risk, and compliance. Our systems process hundreds of billions of unique events each day, publish updates in real time, and serve millions of time-series queries with strict reliability and latency goals. The team spans software engineering, platform performance, capacity planning, systems recovery, and automation across global hubs.

How We Think

Our vision: elastic compute and capacity with resilient coverage. Our mission: organize fleet and environment to unlock virtually unlimited production scale. We align to engineering standards, value evidence-based decisions, and automate for business continuity, test platforms, and fast issue containment. Reliability principles guide everything we ship.

What You’ll Do

• Work hands-on with large-scale, real-time market-data systems.

• Design and develop predictive models and signals for capacity and performance.

• Participate in fleet governance and orchestrate lifecycle events at scale.

• Build metrics, alerts, and automated remediation for early issue detection.

• Help define standards and partner with engineers to ensure products meet them.

Your Day-to-Day

• Code: Ship production-quality tools and services—from debuggers and instrumentation to dashboards for load/latency—and enable self-service and incident response.

• Design: Create consistent interfaces and automated workflows; ensure new features are production-ready to lower operational load.

• Analyze: Model system behavior, assess change impact before rollout, and diagnose unexpected production issues.

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years with an object-oriented language (Python, C/C++, or Java).

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent experience.

• Experience in Unix/Linux environments and with developer tooling.

• Familiarity with test frameworks (e.g., pytest, gtest).

• Hands-on experience diagnosing and resolving production issues.

• Solid understanding of large-scale systems architecture and strong communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to market-data distribution architectures.

• Experience with virtualized/containerized stacks and orchestration (e.g., Ansible, Salt).

• Background in rapid prototyping and platform automation.

Why This Role

The infrastructure you build is mission-critical to the global financial ecosystem. Your work will shape platform architecture, improve data accuracy and availability, and deliver reliability at a scale few organizations attempt.

Compensation

Salary Range: $160,000 – $240,000 USD annually, plus benefits and bonus.

Actual compensation may vary based on location, experience, market conditions, education, and skill level.
