  • Strong background in distributed systems, real-time processing, and relational databases.
  • Experience with high-volume desktop trading systems.
  • Proficiency in SQL and Linux shell scripting.
  • Deep understanding of concurrency, multi-threading, data structures, algorithms, and design patterns.
  • Experience diagnosing JVM issues (e.g., thread dumps, garbage collection).
  • Familiarity with resiliency patterns (Circuit Breakers, Load Balancers, Failover).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • DevOps and build automation experience.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Knowledge of performance testing theory and key metrics.
  • Experience in the Financial Services industry is strongly preferred.
  • Detail-oriented with a self-starting attitude.
