Client: Digital Zone Employment Type: Full-time Location: Remote
Own the technical strategy and architecture for the trading platform: order lifecycle and execution, market data ingestion and distribution, positions and portfolio, settlement and reconciliation. Drive broker, exchange, and market data integrations, and own reliability and correctness under market conditions: latency budgets, latency spikes, idempotency, and reconciliation that proves the books are right. Partner with product, compliance, risk, and finance so regulatory, KYC, AML, and audit requirements are designed in rather than retrofitted. Establish the engineering practices this domain demands: rigorous testing, controlled release, incident response, and audit-grade observability across the order path.
What you'll bring:8+ years in software engineering with 3+ years leading engineering teams, including hiring and growing engineers. Direct experience building or operating online stock trading, brokerage, or capital markets systems. This is a hard requirement: you have shipped order management, execution, market data, or settlement systems in production. Working fluency in the domain: order types and lifecycle, market data feeds, clearing and settlement, corporate actions, and the reconciliation and audit expectations that come with regulated trading. Strong hands-on technical judgment to lead architecture reviews and make tradeoffs around correctness and latency in AWS/local private cloud and hybrid environments. Comfortable in a Type Script, Go, Postgres, and AWS/local private cloud hybrid environment. Experience working alongside compliance and risk in a regulated financial product. The judgment to move fast on a greenfield product without compromising the correctness and controls the domain requires.
Nice to have:Experience launching a retail trading or investing product from zero. Exposure to FIX protocol or exchange and broker connectivity. MENA or emerging-market financial services experience, including market and local regulatory context.
