What You’ll Do

• Build high-performance, multithreaded Rust systems for large-scale trade flow and event processing.

• Design, ship, and operate distributed services that are reliable, observable, secure, and production-ready.

• Own services end-to-end—from architecture and implementation through CI/CD, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and ongoing operational improvement.

• Develop and maintain automated CI/CD and release workflows using Jenkins and Octopus Deploy, supporting consistent, controlled releases across development, test, UAT, and production environments.

• Improve engineering velocity and release quality through automated testing, deployment validation, configuration management, versioning, and rollback capabilities.

• Use AI coding tools and agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, or similar platforms, to accelerate development, testing, debugging, and refactoring while applying sound engineering judgment to validate outputs.

• Optimize throughput, latency, memory efficiency, reliability, and AWS infrastructure cost at scale.

• Collaborate with engineers and platform teams across New York, London, Poland, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

My additions

• Build, maintain, and improve AWS cloud infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code best practices, with a focus on security, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.

• Operate and improve OpenSearch as a search, logging, and analytics platform, including reliability, performance, data lifecycle, access controls, and operational scalability.

• Automate repetitive operational work and improve observability, alerting, and incident-response processes to reduce manual intervention and strengthen production reliability.


What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping production software in high-performance or enterprise environments.

• Strong programming fundamentals, including software design, data structures, algorithms, concurrency, debugging, and testing.

• Significant production experience with Rust, including async/await, ownership, memory management, and multithreaded programming; working knowledge of C# and .NET Core is also required.

• Experience building distributed systems using REST, gRPC, microservices, and messaging platforms such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, or SQS/SNS.

• A strong DevOps and production-ownership mindset, with experience building software that is observable, secure, resilient, and supportable in live environments.

• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and release-management tooling—particularly Jenkins and Octopus Deploy—including pipeline development, deployment orchestration, and production release support.

• Experience with production monitoring, logging, alerting, troubleshooting, and incident management.

• Strong AWS experience, including serverless and performance-aware system design.

• Extensive use of AI-assisted development tools and coding agents to improve delivery velocity across coding, testing, debugging, documentation, and workflow automation, paired with strong judgment on validation and correctness.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-moving, collaborative team.

My Additions

• Experience using Terraform or similar infrastructure-as-code tooling to build and maintain cloud infrastructure.


Nice to Have

• Experience integrating AI coding agents into team engineering workflows.

• Familiarity with Agile, TDD/BDD, Rust testing frameworks, infrastructure-as-code, and cloud-native operational practices.

• Experience with environment configuration, secrets management, deployment approvals, and rollback processes.

• Knowledge of React or Angular.

• Understanding of FIX, MS SQL, financial markets, and post-trade lifecycle processes.

My additions

• Experience with AWS CodeBuild.

• Experience building, maintaining, or optimizing large monorepos, including build performance, dependency management, test execution, and developer workflows.

• Experience with OpenSearch or Elasticsearch index design, query performance, cluster operations, or data-retention management.


Why Join Us

• Build business-critical systems supporting global trading across multiple asset classes.

• Solve challenging distributed-systems, performance, reliability, and operational problems at meaningful scale.

• Take end-to-end ownership of core trade-lifecycle technology.

• Help define practical, production-grade applications of AI-assisted software development.
