About the role

Working across the stack, you'll borrow from the world of modern financial exchanges to build markets that are actually transparent and efficient, while keeping the experience seamless for the people using it. You'll own real-time data pipelines, shape the API that algorithmic traders live in, and have a real say in architecture decisions.

- Build and maintain a developer-first API experience for algorithmic trading and power users
- Expand product features by extending modular backend services and contributing to frontend components
- Scale real-time data ingestion, processing, and distribution pipelines
