We are seeking a Backend Technical Lead with deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices, and high-throughput transaction processing to join our core engineering team.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing and leading the development of scalable backend systems that handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per day, with a strong focus on performance, resilience, and scalability. This role reports to the Project Manager / Head of Business Technology and is well-suited for candidates with a strong logical mindset, an interest in data, models, and technology, and a desire to grow in AI-driven investment products.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable, event-driven backend systems using microservices architecture, leveraging technologies such as Kafka or similar streaming platforms.
• Take ownership of transitioning systems from vendor-based solutions to in-house platforms, including maintaining and enhancing existing trading middleware and services.
• Design and implement core backend components for a modular and extensible trading platform supporting quantitative strategies, institutional trading, and AI-driven investment products.
• Develop and enhance backend services that integrate with core trading systems (equities, derivatives), enabling flexible capabilities such as order management, margin products, and fee logic.
• Build and operate systems capable of handling high transaction volumes (hundreds of thousands per day), ensuring strong scalability, availability, and observability.
• Optimize system performance to support low-latency and high-throughput processing, particularly for trading and execution workflows.
• Collaborate with Quantitative Researchers, Data Engineers, and Product teams to integrate market data pipelines (real-time and historical), research and signal engines, and performance analytics.
• Work closely with Business Analysts, QC, DevOps, and other engineering teams to ensure high code quality, system reliability, and alignment with business objectives.
• Contribute to and enforce engineering best practices, including coding standards, code reviews, and system design guidelines.
• Participate in roadmap planning, system reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the overall trading platform and infrastructure.
