Collaborate closely with quants, traders, and engineers to deliver solutions that improve trading performance and resilience. Maintain and evolve trading infrastructure with a focus on performance, stability, observability, and operational excellence. Troubleshoot complex production issues across exchange connectivity, execution, and market data handling. Drive engineering standards through technical leadership, code reviews, and mentoring. Embrace agentic engineering principles: leverage AI-assisted workflows, drive automation of operational tasks, and help evolve the team's agentic tooling. Contribute to functional, component, and production-readiness testing for critical trading components.
