- Model complex order lifecycles and trading workflows into resilient backend services and normalized database schemas
- Drive the development of intuitive front-end UIs for traders and sales desks, collaborating with dedicated frontend engineers
- Define, build, and enforce data models that power real-time order tracking, workflow queues, and reconciliation
- Own full SDLC for your domain: design, test, ship, monitor
- Lead, mentor and collaborate with junior engineers and contractors
- Operate in a fast-paced Agile environment, contributing to team structure, sprint planning, and execution cadence
What We’re Looking For

- Experience with React, TypeScript, or similar modern frontend frameworks
- Solid full-stack engineering background, able to contribute across backend, frontend, and database layers
- Deep understanding of order state machines, trader workflows, and institutional trade lifecycle
- Strong experience designing normalized schemas and working with relational databases (e.g., Postgres, MySQL)
- Experience with high-touch trading workflows (sales traders, RFQ, block trades)
- Experience with middle and back office, such as booking, settlement and clearing
- Experience with message bus frameworks (Aeron, Kafka, etc.)
- Experience building and consuming REST, WebSocket, and FIX APIs
- Experience with Agile delivery, sprint planning, and team leadership
- Passion for clean architecture, maintainability, and performance
Bonus Points
- Prior experience in crypto markets or electronic trading in traditional finance.
- Experience integrating execution platform with strategy containers, risk engines, or smart order routers.
- Knowledge of FIX protocol nuances and connectivity to major exchanges.
- Exposure to container orchestration, service mesh, or hybrid deployment architectures.
