Technical Tools

Software EngineerSoftware Engineering

Join a globally distributed engineering team building and operating critical infrastructure for a regulated digital asset derivatives exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage platform. In this role, you will combine software engineering and DevOps expertise to strengthen deployment pipelines, manage cloud infrastructure, and improve the reliability of production systems. You will work with AWS, Terraform, Docker, and modern CI/CD tooling while contributing to services that support essential trading and settlement operations. The position offers opportunities to work with distributed systems, functional programming, and financial technology in a high-availability environment. Your work will directly support secure releases, operational resilience, and the accuracy of systems responsible for recording financial transactions.

Improve and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, including caching, parallel execution, pinned toolchains, and automated testing and security checks.
Manage AWS infrastructure through Terraform and operate containerized services using Nomad.
Develop deployment tools with health checks and automated rollback capabilities, ensuring releases are coordinated safely around market sessions.
Implement metrics, monitoring, and alerting to assess service health and deployment performance.
Monitor production systems, respond to alerts, and support operational activities, including daily settlement cycles.
Investigate production incidents, address root causes, and document findings and improvements.
Design, develop, test, and deliver reliable features and fixes across exchange, clearinghouse, and brokerage services, primarily written in Haskell.
Develop a thorough understanding of end-to-end order, trade, clearing, and settlement workflows.
