Responsibilities
- Analyze exchange connectivity, market data feeds, and other complex live systems using black-box reverse-engineering techniques.
- Design and run statistical experiments on real data to identify bottlenecks, explain system behavior, and quantify performance improvements.
- Build working prototypes to test ideas and technologies rapidly.
- Analyze terabytes of network data to identify patterns and validate hypotheses.
- Collaborate with traders, software engineers, hardware engineers, and infrastructure teams to share findings and implement solutions.
Requirements
- Use statistics and data analysis to test hypotheses at scale.
- Have experience with system-level optimization or low-level network optimization, preferably involving live or external systems.
- Have a strong understanding of networking, computer internals, and Linux systems.
- Have proven commercial experience writing and shipping production code in Python, C++, and/or Java.
- Exposure to low-latency technologies such as Intel CPUs, FPGA, or microwave links is preferred but not required.
