.Net Backend Architect

Remote

We are seeking a seasoned Backend Architect with deep expertise in regulated financial systems, trading platforms, and end-to-end trading infrastructure to lead the architecture and backend development of a greenfield Futures Commodity Commissions Market (FCM) platform.

This product will power a federally regulated sports prediction market, akin to Robinhood s financial trading model, requiring full compliance with CFTC and NFA regulations. You will design, architect, and oversee the buildout of a highly scalable, secure, and compliant trading platform operating in a high-performance AWS cloud-native environment.

This role is critical in shaping the front-office (OMS), mid-office (clearing and settlement), and back-office (reporting and compliance) infrastructure from scratch. You'll be expected to act as both a strategic architect and a hands-on engineer.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & System Design

  • Architect and lead development of a scalable and compliant backend system for binary trading markets (e.g., sports futures).
  • Design and implement:
    • Order Management System (OMS): Trade matching, limit orders, and execution.
    • Clearing House Connectivity: Integration of trade flows and money movement with clearing partners.
    • Compliance Subsystems: Regulatory checks (pre-trade, post-trade), CFTC/NFA reporting, and audit trails.
    • Back Office Reporting: Generation of trade statements, end-of-day summaries, DCO (Derivatives Clearing Organization) communications.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with Product, Compliance, Frontend, and Legal to define business and regulatory requirements.
  • Collaborate with frontend engineers (SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, Next.js) to define RESTful and event-driven APIs via AWS API Gateway.
  • Partner with finance and operations teams to define MVP requirements for trade reconciliation and reporting.

Implementation & Leadership

  • Build and mentor backend teams (onshore and offshore) through implementation, code reviews, and deployment.
  • Produce architecture documentation, technical specifications, and estimation for Statements of Work (SOW).
  • Evaluate and integrate third-party systems or vendors (e.g., FIS) when needed.

Infrastructure & Compliance

  • Design AWS-native architecture leveraging services like DynamoDB, Kafka, EC2, EKS, CloudWatch.
  • Establish secure CI/CD pipelines with observability, logging, failover, and alerting.
  • Ensure all components are compliant with CFTC, NFA, and industry-standard financial protocols.

Technical Stack & Tools

  • Languages: .NET Core, C++ (low-latency, high-throughput systems)
  • Cloud: AWS (DynamoDB, EC2, Kafka, EKS)
  • Data: Cloud-native pipelines, real-time messaging
  • Architecture: Microservices, event-driven architecture
  • Compliance: CFTC, NFA reporting workflows, KYC/AML frameworks
  • DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, secure deployments, observability frameworks
