Role Overview
As a Senior Software Engineer within our Platform team, you will help build and operate the platform underpinning our exchange and trading systems. You will adapt and evolve our infrastructure and platform standards to support a highly available, low-latency exchange, partnering closely with exchange engineers and engineering leads to enable rapid innovation without compromising stability or security.
This role requires a balance of deep hands-on software engineering and systems thinking. You will build tools, services and automation that support the exchange—from load-testing environments and mock integrations to monitoring and automated recovery. You will own projects from ideation to production and help operate the platform as the exchange goes live. The balance of coding and infrastructure work varies by project, but you should be comfortable independently developing new software as well as improving existing systems, championing best-in-class platform standards and mentoring mid-level engineers.
