Designing and building distributed, event-driven services for financial workflows
Developing integrations with external market and execution platforms
Building data ingestion and transformation pipelines for high-volume financial data

5+ years of professional software engineering experience in a team environment
Strong Python experience in production systems
Experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale
Hands‑on experience with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
Familiarity with services such as object storage, message queues, managed compute, and serverless tooling
Experience with Infrastructure as Code and automated deployment pipelines
Exposure to data processing or ETL pipelines (batch or streaming)
Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability in production systems
Background in financial systems, trading, or market data is a plus but not required
Why This Role?
