- The core responsibility is to make sure our market data is captured, normalized, stored, and delivered correctly.
- Trading systems, researchers, analysts, and monitoring tools all depend on this data.
Responsibilities
- Own the market data pipeline from ingestion through normalization and near-real-time delivery. The data has to be correct first, and the system has to recover cleanly when something breaks.
- Building and improving replay, recovery, and gap-detection capabilities
- Design, maintain, and improve the KDB+/Q platforms that hold our real-time and historical market data.
- Schema design, partitioning, and query-performance tuning
Requirements
- At least 7 years of experience in data engineering, market data infrastructure, or a closely related area
- Current hands-on production coding experience
- At least 3 years leading engineers while staying technically involved
- Strong KDB+/Q experience, including complex Q, tick architecture, query tuning, and production HDB troubleshooting
- Strong production Python experience, including tested, packaged, maintainable systems-level code
- Strong understanding of multicast, packet capture, sequencing, and gap detection
Nice to have
- Background in high-frequency trading, market making, proprietary trading, or another latency-sensitive environment
- C or C++ experience for performance-critical decoder or capture components
- Experience with kernel-bypass or high-performance networking technologies
- Experience with streaming platforms used in real-time data pipelines
- Working knowledge of binary market data encoding standards
- Contributions to open-source data tooling, market data systems, or quantitative research infrastructure
- Reports to the CTO
- Based in Chicago, IL
