Backend/Systems Engineer (Real-Time System)
About this role
What you will do:
• System Integration & Modification: Run and maintain our real-time systems. Develop custom plugins, API integrations, and logic modifications to align the system with our growing business needs.
• Infrastructure & Orchestration: Manage and scale our trading environment using Kubernetes (K8s). Ensure low-latency performance and high availability across all environments.
• Observability & Reliability: Design and implement a robust monitoring stack (e.g., SigNoz, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) to track system health, reporting latency, and execution quality in real-time.
• Reporting Architecture: Build a dedicated reporting system from the ground up.
• Deployment Automation: Own the CI/CD pipelines to ensure that modifications to the trading stack are deployed safely and frequently without downtime.
What you will need:
• Backend Expertise: 3+ years of experience in a high-performance language (Go, Java, C++, Python, or Rust).
• Cloud Native: Strong proficiency in Kubernetes and containerization. You should understand how to architect for "zero-downtime" deployments.
• Observability: Hands-on experience with monitoring and tracing tools (e.g., Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, or Honeycomb).
• Data Engineering: Experience building reporting or ETL pipelines using SQL/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, or InfluxDB preferred for time-series data).
• Systems Management: Comfortable reading documentation and working within the constraints/APIs of a 3rd party system.
