• Strong programming skills in C++ or Rust are required. You will be expected to independently implement, maintain, and optimize production trading strategies and execution logic
• Comfortable independently developing production trading robots on top of an existing trading platform
• Clear thinking on pre-trade risk: position limits, order rate limits, kill-switch requirements – and the latency cost you're willing to pay for them
