  • Help shape and execute the long-term technical vision for the scalability, reliability, and performance of our backend infrastructure.
  • Design highly available, fault-tolerant services capable of handling significant fluctuations in traffic and trading volume.
  • Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and drive performance optimization initiatives across the platform.
  • Write clean, efficient, secure, and maintainable code with a strong focus on reliability and operational excellence.
  • Contribute to the continued growth and evolution of our automated testing and quality assurance frameworks.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to solve complex technical and business challenges.
  • Provide technical mentorship, conduct code reviews, and champion engineering best practices across the team.
  • Act as a technical leader within the organization, influencing architecture, development standards, and engineering culture.
  • As the team and organization continue to scale, take on increasing leadership responsibilities with a clear path toward future people management and team leadership.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals with professional experience in Rust, C++, C, or other high-performance compiled languages.
  • Hands-on experience with Rust is highly desirable.
  • Proven ability to design and implement robust, efficient, reliable, and maintainable systems.
  • Experience developing high-performance, concurrent, and multi-threaded applications.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership skills, with the ability to mentor engineers and influence engineering direction.
  • Experience leading projects, driving technical initiatives, or building and scaling engineering teams is a strong advantage.
  • Track record of successfully deploying, operating, and supporting software in production environments.
  • Solid understanding of Linux-based systems and development environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Experience designing, operating, or scaling production database systems, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and/or MongoDB, is a strong plus.
  • Experience building systems with stringent security, reliability, compliance, or financial correctness requirements is highly desirable.
  • Experience in trading systems, financial technology, cryptocurrency, or other low-latency, high-throughput environments is a plus.
