• Experience in capital markets, especially high-frequency trading or real-time data environments.
• Strong knowledge of real-time analytics, data processing, and scalable architectures.
• Familiarity with KDB.ai or contextual search / generative AI use cases is a major differentiator.
• Additional strengths:

  • Infrastructure knowledge (Java, DevOps, Linux/Unix)
  • CI/CD pipelines and modern delivery practices
• Excellent communication, organizational, and documentation skills.

Why Join Us

• Excellent compensation, full benefits, and strong career growth opportunities.
• Exposure to next-generation use cases at the intersection of real-time analytics and AI.
