Role Overview
You will join our Data Engineering team as an integral member. Our team works closely to solve challenging problems with a direct impact on both the business and trading activities. In this role, you will contribute to the development of our next-generation data platform, designed to incrementally ingest, aggregate, and index data from diverse sources. This project is of critical importance to the continued success of the business. Key aspects of the project include distributed systems development, large-scale data processing, and building a platform that is fast, reliable, scalable, and user-friendly. Our primary language is Rust. While prior Rust experience is welcome, it is not required - we are equally open to strong candidates with experience in C++, Go, or Java. Experience with financial data is advantageous but not essential. We welcome talented developers without a background in financial services and are committed to providing training and guidance.
