  • Implement and enhance microservices architecture for trading applications, promoting modularity and maintainability
  • Develop distributed systems to support high-performance and low-latency trading platform requirements
  • Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions to track and analyze backend system performance in real time
  • Integrate backend systems with various market data feeds, ensuring accurate and timely data for trading activities
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including frontend developers, UX/UI designers, and other engineers, to deliver end-to-end trading solutions
  • Create and maintain technical documentation for backend systems, Kubernetes configurations, and deployment procedures
  • Work directly with project managers to help deliver solutions

What you'll need:

  • 6+ years of software development experience designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining real-time applications
  • Professional experience with Scala backend software development
  • Experience working with Kubernetes and cloud services such as Google Cloud Platform
  • Dependable team player with a strong work ethic, exceptional accuracy, and strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Comfort resolving uncertainty and communicating effectively for issue resolution
  • Ability to take full ownership (design, implement, test, deploy, maintain, iterate) of projects

Bonus points for:

  • Financial knowledge
  • Experience leveraging AI/ML tools or technologies to enhance software development, system performance, or automation

Compensation:

The salary range for this role will be $140,000.00 - $190,000.00 USD. In addition, this position will also receive an annual target bonus of 12%. Bonus pay at NinjaTrader is based on individual performance (50%) as well as company/team performance (50%).
