Software Engineer - Research Technology

As a Software Engineer, Research Technology, you will contribute to and grow into a small team building the software platform that powers researchers running compute-heavy analyses on very large event-stream datasets. The workload is analogous to a game engine’s replay and simulation loop, a telco’s real-time packet pipeline, or a bigtech streaming and analytics platform, applied to financial market data. Domain expertise in trading and market microstructure is welcome but not required on day one; we invest heavily in onboarding and pair every new engineer with a mentor.

The stack: modern C++ for the throughput-critical ingest and simulation core, Python plus C++ bindings for research tooling, distributed compute across HPC (Slurm today, evolving). You will help deliver high-quality data, fast and flexible compute tooling, robust simulation and deployment systems, and ergonomics that let researchers iterate quickly. Work spans raw exchange data ingestion, distributed HPC orchestration, and research tooling.
