  • Work with Product, Compliance, Frontend, and Legal to define business and regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with frontend engineers to define RESTful and event-driven APIs via AWS API Gateway.
  • Partner with finance and operations teams to define MVP requirements for trade reconciliation and reporting.
  • Build and mentor backend teams through implementation, code reviews, and deployment.
  • Produce architecture documentation, technical specifications, and estimation for Statements of Work.
  • Evaluate and integrate third-party systems or vendors when needed.
  • Design AWS-native architecture leveraging services like DynamoDB, Kafka, EC2, EKS, and CloudWatch.
  • Establish secure CI/CD pipelines with observability, logging, failover, and alerting.
  • Ensure all components are compliant with CFTC, NFA, and industry-standard financial protocols.

  • Demonstrated success deploying AWS-native systems for real-time applications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; ability to document and explain complex systems.

Nice to Have

  • Experience building or integrating with third-party clearing vendors.
  • Prior experience with prediction markets, sports betting, or gaming platforms.
