• Build the Product (API & Tools): Create and maintain a clean, powerful, API-first interface for all internal systems (trading, risk, compliance) to consume data. Additionally, build intuitive internal tools and interfaces for our Operations and Trading teams to easily manage and view the data.

• API Architecture: Demonstrated ability to design, build, and maintain clean, high-performance APIs for critical system-to-system communication.
• Ideal Profile:
• You are an architect and a systems thinker, with the experience and confidence to lead a critical platform from concept through production.
• You have a product mindset, with an ability to empathize with the needs of both machine consumers and human users.
