High Performance Trading Systems Developer

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in the design, development, and optimization of high-performance trading systems. This role demands advanced expertise in multi-threaded environments, asynchronous programming, and modern software design patterns such as Clean Architecture and Vertical Slice Architecture.

• System Design and Development :
  • Architect and develop real-time, domain-driven microservices using .NET Core to ensure scalability, modularity, and performance.
  • Leverage multi-threaded programming techniques and asynchronous programming paradigms to build systems optimized for high-concurrency workloads.
  • Implement event-driven architectures to enable seamless communication between distributed services, leveraging tools such as Kafka or AWS SQS.
• System Performance and Optimization :
  • Optimize applications for low-latency and high-throughput in trading environments, addressing challenges related to thread safety, resource contention, and parallelism.
  • Design fault-tolerant systems capable of handling large-scale data streams and real-time events.
  • Proactively monitor and resolve performance bottlenecks using advanced observability tools and techniques.
• Architectural Contributions :
  • Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable, maintainable architectures, including Clean Architecture, Vertical Slice Architecture, and CQRS.
  • Collaborate with architects and stakeholders to align technical solutions with business requirements, particularly for trading and financial systems.
  • Employ advanced design patterns to ensure robustness, fault isolation, and adaptability.
• Agile Collaboration :
  • Participate actively in Agile practices, including Scrum ceremonies such as sprint planning, daily stand-ups and retrospectives.
  • Collaborate with Product Owners and Scrum Masters to refine technical requirements and deliver high-quality, production-ready software.
• Code Quality and Testing :
  • Write maintainable, testable, and efficient code adhering to test-driven development (TDD) methodologies.
  • Conduct detailed code reviews, ensuring adherence to best practices in software engineering, coding standards, and system architecture.
  • Develop and maintain robust unit, integration, and performance tests to uphold system reliability and resilience.
• Monitoring and Observability :
  • Integrate Open Telemetry to enhance system observability, enabling distributed tracing, metrics collection, and log aggregation.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams to implement real-time monitoring dashboards using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic (Kibana).
  • Ensure systems are fully observable, with actionable insights into performance and reliability metrics.
• Technical Expertise and Skills :
  • Required Expertise :
    • 5+ years of experience in software development, with a strong focus on .NET Core and C#.
    • Deep expertise in multi-threaded programming, asynchronous programming, and handling concurrency in distributed systems.
    • Extensive experience in designing and implementing domain-driven microservices with advanced architectural patterns like Clean Architecture or Vertical Slice Architecture.
    • Strong understanding of event-driven systems, with knowledge of messaging frameworks such as Kafka, AWS SQS, or RabbitMQ.
    • Proficiency in observability tools, including Open Telemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and Elastic (Kibana).
    • Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization using Docker, and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
    • Expertise in Agile methodologies under Scrum practices.
    • Solid knowledge of Git and version control best practices.
  • Beneficial Skills :
    • Familiarity with Saga patterns for managing distributed transactions.
    • Experience in trading or financial systems, particularly with low-latency, high-concurrency environments.
    • Advanced database optimization skills for relational databases such as SQL Server.
  • Certifications and Education :
    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
    • Relevant certifications in software development, system architecture, or AWS technologies are advantageous.
