Senior Software Engineer - Clearing

Your Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Clearing team you’ll work on what happens after the trade is made. Most of the work we do is not user facing but is very much essential to the day to day operations of a Broker Dealer company.

• Own projects from ideation to deployment, cutting through ambiguity to build what’s necessary, not just what’s asked for.
• Design and build new systems that let us enable new products for the company or unlock more revenue.
• Refine our existing systems. They’re not perfect and will never be, but we believe in improving them as long as the outcome is meaningful and tangible.
• Learn about things you never knew existed but are instrumental in keeping the financial markets healthy and functioning.
• Participate in our on-call rotation to ensure our systems are in tip-top shape.

• You understand that we’re working on systems people entrust with their hard earned money and you take that very seriously.
• You are deeply interested in how traditional financial markets work.

• You take responsibility for the work you do personally, and also collectively, as a team.
• You understand which design choices matter and which ones can be easily adjusted once we learn more about how the world truly works.
• You have experience working at startups and know that not everything is perfect and you’re the one who helps us trend towards that goal.
• You have good foundational knowledge of how computers work, how the internet works, how databases work, how distributed systems behave and misbehave, etc.
• You’re productive with the following technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes.
• You have 5+ years of hands-on experience building reliable and distributed systems.
