  • Prototype and implement performance improvements – Test new ideas, optimize configurations, and deploy enhancements in live trading environments
  • Collaborate across technical teams – Work with trading, infrastructure, and software engineers to ensure consistent, measurable system improvements

Requirements:

  • Senior Expertise (5+ years) with low-latency hardware and software
  • Strong background in Kernel Linux, Network Engineering, and Deep Network Knowledge
  • Understanding of market data feeds, order books, and exchange-level protocols
  • Experience with performance testing tools and scripting
