Job Details

A global specialized solutions provider is expanding its U.S. presence and seeking a KDB+/Q Developer to join as a growth hire. You’ll work on high-frequency, low-latency trading and analytics applications, supporting some of the world’s most data-intensive financial environments.


What You’ll Do:

  • Design and develop performant applications using KDB+ and Q

  • Build and optimize low-latency, high-throughput systems for real-time analytics

  • Collaborate with clients in a hands-on, client-facing capacity

  • Contribute to projects focused on user analytics, data surveillance, and tick-level data processing

  • Document and communicate solutions clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders


What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong experience in KDB+ development, with expert-level Q skills

  • Exposure to capital markets, particularly high-frequency trading or real-time data environments

  • Background in data analytics or data science is a plus

  • Familiarity with KDB.ai or contextual search / generative AI use cases is a major differentiator

    • Big Data ecosystems

    • Infrastructure knowledge (Java, DevOps, Linux/Unix)

    • CI/CD pipelines and best practices

  • Strong communication, organization, and documentation habits


Why Join Us:
We offer a stable, long-term role (not a short-term contract) with room for growth, innovation, and impact. You'll be part of a collaborative, fast-moving team with a production-first mindset and plenty of opportunities for advancement. Our work culture is flat, dynamic, and entrepreneurial—with excellent compensation, full benefits, and meaningful project ownership.
