Backend/Systems Engineer

• System Integration & Modification: Run and maintain our real-time systems. Develop custom plugins, API integrations, and logic modifications to align the system with our growing business needs. • Infrastructure & Orchestration: Manage and scale our trading environment using Kubernetes (K8s). Ensure low-latency performance and high availability across all environments. • Observability & Reliability: Design and implement a robust monitoring stack (e.g., SigNoz, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to track system health, reporting latency, and execution quality in real-time. • Reporting Architecture: Build a dedicated reporting system from the ground up. • Deployment Automation: Own the CI/CD pipelines to ensure that modifications to the trading stack are deployed safely and frequently without downtime.
• Backend Expertise: 3+ years of experience in a high-performance language (Go, Java, C++, Python, or Rust). • Cloud Native: Strong proficiency in Kubernetes and containerization. You should understand how to architect for "zero-downtime" deployments. • Observability: Hands-on experience with monitoring and tracing tools (e.g., Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, or Honeycomb). • Data Engineering: Experience building reporting or ETL pipelines using SQL/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or InfluxDB preferred for time-series data). • Systems Management: Comfortable reading documentation and working within the constraints/APIs of a 3rd party system.
