ROLE OVERVIEW
Owns the strategy and design for optimising risk computation stack across both the C++ engine and the Rust library, from initial architecture through production stabilisation and intraday extension. Responsible for architecture, validation strategy, and technical metrics framework.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Define the performance optimisation architecture for the computation stack - C++ library and Rust library paths, with architecture diagrams, sequenced delivery plan, and explicit EOD and near-Real Time performance targets.
- Establish the test and validation strategy: benchmark definitions, regression test suites, acceptance criteria per milestone.
- Define the technical metrics framework: what constitutes an optimisation gain, how it is measured.
- Direct C++/Rust Compute Engineers Real Time and intra-day compute batch PoC execution.
- Provide Technical Lead with compute-side interface specifications for quant library integration.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
MANDATORY
- Expert C++ (8+ years in production) in numerical computation or financial risk engine context.
- SIMD, cache efficiency, memory layout for numerical workloads.
- Production Rust (3+ years): memory management, async runtime (Tokio), unsafe Rust, FFI; profiling and optimising compute.
