I'm working with a global multi-strategy hedge fund hiring a Manager, Market Data Engineering into their Data Technology team. The role owns the systems that capture, redistribute, derive and serve real-time and historical market data to investment teams across Equities, Macro, Commodities and Credit.
It's a build-and-lead role, not a maintenance one.
What's involved:
- Architecting the firm's next-generation market data platform, ingesting streaming and historical data from vendor consolidation platforms and internal APIs
- Building real-time processing and derivation engines (bars, NBBO) that need to be fast, resilient and recoverable
- Low latency C++ development
- Shipping SDKs and platform interfaces so specialist teams can plug in their own derived-data calculations
- Hiring and mentoring a team of developers and analysts
- Owning the platform roadmap directly with investment teams, translating what they need into production systems
Chicago, London or New York
US base range of USD 225,000 to 275,000, plus bonus and benefits
Who this suits:
- Someone with 8+ years leading engineering teams and 5+ years hands-on with market data systems. You've run agile delivery for real projects, supported research or execution workflows across more than one asset class, and have a track record of production systems that stay up. Experience with Refinitiv or Bloomberg APIs is a plus, as is any comparable enterprise market data stack.
