About the role
Improve and extend live trading infrastructure, including order processing, market data, broker connectivity, backtesting, risk controls, and deployment workflows. Strengthen system reliability and safety, improve backtest realism, and help turn research ideas into production-ready trading capabilities. Candidates should have recent, applied C++ experience building or owning production systems where correctness, latency, state management, and reliability matter, ideally in or near trading infrastructure. They should understand trading-system failure modes and backtesting biases, communicate systems they have built or improved, and be comfortable taking broad ownership in a small team.
