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:

- 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.
