Responsibilities:

• Architect and develop features on the trading real-time event streaming platform (Java-based)

• Strong Java development skills; experience with event-driven or event-sourcing architectures (Kafka, Aeron, custom sequencers, or similar)

• Ability to mentor developers of varying skill levels and communicate technical direction clearly
• Exposure to Python-based microservices and comfort working in a multi-language environment
