If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, demand excellence, and want to help build the future of finance, we invite you to join us.
Design and build highly scalable, cost-effective data processing pipelines that handle millions of documents and datapoints daily with very low latency and maximum throughput.
Build systems that connect heterogeneous financial datasets - market data vendors, proprietary sources, third-party providers - into coherent, reliable, queryable platforms that power Rogo's AI layer.
Build secure, compliant integrations that treat enterprise customer data with the highest standards of trust, privacy, and reliability - from ingestion through to serving.
You'll own real surface area and watch the world's most sophisticated users rely on your work.

You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup.
You are ambitious.
You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.
You are curious.
You are an owner.
You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity.
You are collaborative, organized, thoughtful, and kind.
There is nowhere else you can work on it at this scale.

Bachelor's in Computer Science or related field.
4+ years of hands-on experience with GCP or equivalent cloud stack, building and scaling production-grade services.
Deep expertise in Python for backend and API systems
proficiency in at least one strongly typed language (Rust, C++, or Java), with Java being a strong plus.
Mastery in designing large-scale distributed systems - asynchronous patterns, streaming, queuing, caching strategies, and robust observability (logging, metrics, tracing).
3+ years of experience working closely with globally distributed engineering teams.
Exceptional communication skills - able to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and to influence engineering direction across teams without direct authority.
Track record of shipping high-quality products in unstructured, fast-moving environments with full autonomy from conception to deployment.

Rogo has strong product adoption with the world's leading financial institutions, and we are still early.
