  • Proficiency in KDB+ or other time-series databases.
  • Strong background in building scalable, distributed, asynchronous, and event-driven applications.
  • Advanced knowledge of low latency design patterns and performance optimization techniques.
  • Experience with Capital Markets or Brokerage systems, especially order management.
  • Solid understanding of the FIX protocol and FIX engines.
  • Worked with AI developer assist tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot).
  • Experience with CI/CD tools such as GitHub, Maven, Jenkins, Artifactory, and uDeploy.
