  • Develop tools that enable access to historical market data and support trading simulations
  • Create software for identifying patterns in large datasets
  • Design and implement risk assessment and performance monitoring systems

What We're Looking For

You have a degree in Computer Science or a related discipline and solid experience with C++, data structures, and object-oriented design.

  • Familiarity with Linux, TCP/IP, and UDP protocols
  • Proficiency in Python and shell scripting
  • Knowledge of Blockchain, cryptography, cryptocurrency, or DeFi protocols
  • Background in high-throughput, low-latency computing environments

Technology Environment

You'll work with C++, FPGA-based acceleration, machine learning components, Linux systems, and networking protocols. Python and scripting tools are used across development and analysis workflows.

Work Environment

This role operates in a hybrid model, based in New York City’s Financial District with access to global offices. The culture emphasizes collaboration, flat structure, and respect—where ideas matter more than titles. You'll be surrounded by motivated, intelligent colleagues in a setting that values both achievement and well-being.
