SVP Senior Market Data Platform Engineer

What you'll do

• Design and develop real-time market data distribution platforms for global Equities trading.
• Build performance-critical C++ components for market data ingestion, normalization, and fan-out.
• Define and enforce platform standards for market data semantics, schemas, and correctness guarantees.
• Engineer the end-to-end wire-to-consumer hot path with focus on NUMA-aware design and CPU isolation.
• Own operating-system and runtime-level optimizations to ensure predictable behavior at scale.
• Ensure deterministic performance under burst load, packet loss, and volatile market conditions.

What we're looking for

• 12+ years of hands-on experience building low-latency, high-throughput systems with proficiency in modern C++.
• Deep experience designing or owning real-time market data distribution platforms in a global financial institution (Equities required).
• Strong understanding and hands-on experience with UDP multicast, loss recovery, and operational behavior in production environments.
• Expertise in low-latency techniques including NUMA, core pinning, IRQ affinity, kernel tuning, memory management, and cache locality.
• Production-level experience using Aeron for high-performance fan-out and IPC, managing back-pressure and performance diagnostics.
• Demonstrated ability to own wire-to-consumer latency observability with histograms, tail analysis, and regression detection.
• Strong understanding of exchange microstructure and regional market differences across global venues.
