Who you are

You have 4+ years of real-world experience programming in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, and Golang — you've built and maintained high-performance APIs and understand the intricacies of low-latency code that processes significant trading volumes. Your familiarity with Linux on desktops and servers allows you to navigate and optimize environments effectively. You possess a strong understanding of Git, enabling you to manage code versions and collaborate seamlessly with your team.

Your experience includes building and scaling reliable data pipelines using Kafka — you know how to architect performant communication layers that facilitate networking between internal exchange components. You are comfortable with SQL-based databases and have experience deploying high-performance APIs, both REST and WebSockets. You take ownership of system design and implementation, leaning on industry best practices to ensure reliability and performance.
