ENGINEERING

Senior Software Engineer, Exchange Core

New York, NY · Full-time · Onsite

You'll work on the matching engine at the heart of the exchange — the system that pairs every order and settles every contract, at microsecond latency and regulated-market reliability.

What you'll do

  • Design and ship low-latency order matching and risk systems
  • Own services end to end: architecture, code, deploys, on-call
  • Work with regulators-facing teams to keep audit trails bulletproof
  • Mentor engineers and raise the bar on code quality

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years building high-throughput backend systems
  • Deep experience with Go, Rust or C++ in production
  • Comfort with distributed-systems tradeoffs and failure modes
  • Interest in markets — trading experience a plus
