About the Role

  • Deep experience designing distributed systems that handle high-concurrency and mission-critical financial flows.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical teams through periods of ambiguity, organizational change, or complex system migrations.

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience with brokerage systems, asset classes like equities or fixed income, or financial regulatory environments.
  • Deep familiarity with AWS or similar cloud providers and modern CI/CD practices.
  • Experience balancing the need for architectural purity with the necessity of delivering business value in a fast-paced setting.
