The role You will work directly with founders, researchers, and traders to design and run the internal platform that powers live trading and research. Your mandate is simple: build an infrastructure advantage. What you'll own Production infrastructure across multi-region cloud and latency-sensitive environments Reliable systems for live trading, multi-venue market data ingestion, and research compute Deployment pipelines that let the team ship strategy and model changes quickly and safely Observability across data quality, execution, strategy, and infrastructure Resilience: failover, disaster recovery, and operational readiness for systems that lose money when they are down The route from research prototype to production service, with real testing, monitoring, and maintainability Security architecture: IAM, networking, secrets, access control ML-serving infrastructure: low-latency model serving, feature pipelines, and experiment tooling for our research and ACA work Technical depth Deep Linux and networking fundamentals Strong cloud experience, ideally AWS (compute, networking, IAM, storage, observability) Strong Python; C++, Rust, or Go for latency-critical paths is a plus Infrastructure as code (Terraform or equivalent) CI/CD and release engineering Data systems: PostgreSQL / TimescaleDB, Kafka, Redis, ClickHouse, and low-latency messaging Monitoring: Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, or similar Security-first mindset Bonus: MLOps experience (model serving, feature stores, low-latency inference) What makes this exceptional Founding-level ownership with direct influence over architecture and standards A live system in real markets, with immediate feedback loops Work directly with exceptional founders, researchers, and traders The chance to create an infrastructure edge, not just maintain systems Small team, high talent density, high trust, ambitious scope
