  • Systems design and architecture
  • Ability to write optimised and high throughput code
  • Communication and teamwork, with an interest in building a strong engineering culture

 

Experience in these is advantageous but not required:

  • Realtime platforms including Kafka
  • High performance python tooling (numpy, numba, c++ and rust interoperability)
  • Modern data tooling (polars, arrow, flight/grpc)
  • C++ or Rust
  • Market data
  • SRE and DevOps
  • Project leadership and stakeholder management
