Responsibilities include:
- Designing and developing trading systems for digital asset markets
- Building and maintaining connectivity to major centralised cryptocurrency exchanges
- Working directly with traders and quantitative researchers to prototype and iterate on trading strategies
- Translating ambiguous trading requirements and market insights into practical engineering solutions
- Improving system reliability through automation, monitoring, testing, and robust recovery mechanisms
- Troubleshooting production issues across trading systems and exchange integrations
- Contributing to the architecture and continued development of the digital assets platform
- Taking ownership of production systems and driving continuous technical improvements
- Working closely with other engineers to establish strong engineering practices as the platform grows
