• 12+ years of hands-on engineering experience with deep technical expertise in low-latency time series databases, using KDB+/q.
• Experience in Java and C++ is desired.
• Deep expertise in KDB+/q or equivalent high-performance time-series platforms, with demonstrated ownership of production systems.
• Prior experience building or owning Algorithmic Trading, SOR, Market Making, or Quantitative Trading time series platforms at a global financial institution.
• Strong understanding of market microstructure, electronic execution workflows, and regional exchange and regulatory regimes.
• Proven ability to design and operate systems where analytics correctness is non-negotiable, even under extreme performance constraints.
• Strong understanding of performance optimization and high-throughput architectures.
• Experience defining and governing shared data models used by multiple downstream systems.
