We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.
This is a hybrid role based in our new Dallas infrastructure hub where we work on the latest technologies in a cutting-edge environment.
The Role
The Trading Ecosystem Engineering (TEE) team builds and operates the key systems, workflows and services that our internal users and customer teams rely on in their research.

Our Engineers are full-stack, with a stronger predominance for back-end, and we work closely with internal and external customers to understand their needs and drive best practice through our deep knowledge engineering best practices.
Key responsibilities of the role include:
Crafting large-scale, highly available and reliable service-oriented systems
Optimising and troubleshooting software performance
Designing APIs for use in a real-time environment
Front-end web development
Building strong, collaborative relationships with technical and non-technical stakeholders, focussing on maximising business value from TEE’s work
Steering, and contributing to the technical deliverables of your team, ensuring that the requirements of the business are met by making data driven decisions
Participating and actively engaging with the incident management process and a blameless continuous learning culture
Ensuring the smooth running of a geographically distributed team

A proactive approach to spotting problems, areas for improvement, performance bottlenecks, and process improvements
The ability to understand the inherent trade-offs between various software architectures as it relates to performance, resiliency and fault tolerance, load balancing, and data consistency
Don’t feel you need to tick all of these boxes. If you are a smart, motivated, passionate Software Engineer then we want to hear from you.
