Manager, Market Data Engineering
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
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
