Software Engineer (C++/Rust)

The financial industry is growing at a record pace, but data providers often rely on cumbersome onboarding processes, complicated APIs, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing costs.

We are looking for a midlevel or senior individual contributor to join the core engineering team. The team is responsible for C/C++ and Rust systems and the most performance-sensitive parts of the codebase, working with nearly 20 PB of data and thousands of bare metal CPU cores.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance server applications in C/C++ and Rust
• Write message parsers and feed handlers for direct market data feeds from trading venues
• Optimize codebase for high throughput (millions of messages per second, up to 40+ gigabits) and low latency (nanoseconds)
• Implement tools and libraries for petabyte-scale data processing and analysis
• Collaborate with the systems team on build, deployment, and CI/CD best practices
• Implement monitoring and improve application uptime
• Ensure smooth feature rollouts and updates
