About the role
What You’ll Do
- Design, implement, test, and operate production systems in a complex trading environment.
- Own the correctness, reliability, and operability of the features you build.
- Actively surface and resolve ambiguity in requirements, product logic, and system behavior.
- Write clear, maintainable code with a strong bias toward simplicity and correctness.
- Participate in incident response and follow through with durable fixes and improvements.
- Collaborate closely with peers through code reviews, design discussions, and shared problem-solving.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong engineering fundamentals and sound judgment in complex systems.
- A demonstrated bias toward correctness, reliability, and production ownership.
- Comfort reasoning about non-trivial business logic, stateful systems, and edge cases.
- Consistent self-directed productivity in ambiguous or loosely scoped work.
- Clear, collaborative communication and a strong team-oriented mindset.
Nice to Have
- Experience with trading systems, exchanges, or other high-stakes domains.
- Production experience with Go (Golang) or performance-sensitive backend systems.
- Prior ownership of services in production, including on-call or incident response.
This Role Is Not a Fit If
- You prefer narrowly scoped tasks with fully specified requirements.
- You avoid production ownership or incident responsibility.
- You optimize primarily for speed or novelty over correctness and clarity.
- You are uncomfortable working in systems with significant complexity and real-world consequences.
