Mid Level Python Flask Developer Jobs in Monee, IL

About G-20

The G-20 Group is a pioneer in Quantitative Trading systems in cross-asset markets. Headquartered in Switzerland, we operate at the intersection of Quantitative Research, Software Engineering and Trading. The team combines a startup mindset with extensive experience in proprietary Trading, Technology and Quantitative Finance.

Role Overview

We are hiring an experienced Oracle Engineer to join our team, a leading DeFi desk in the sector. In this role you will have end-to-end ownership of the oracle stack, including institutional market data ingestion from co-located data centres, low-latency aggregation, hardware-secured signing, and on-chain submission.

This function operates within a zero-tolerance environment, where the integrity and accuracy of price submissions are critical.

Key Responsibilities

• Low-Latency Data Ingestion: Design and operate a multi-source feed handler architecture to ingest tick-level data from institutional market data providers, exchange direct feeds, and reference rate APIs. Ensure isolation of data sources with independent failure domains, and implement staleness detection, quorum-based validation, and automated failover across redundant data pathways.
• Price Aggregation Engine: Develop a high-performance aggregation engine in Rust to generate a single reliable price from multiple, potentially divergent data sources. Implement manipulation-resistant statistical methods, outlier filtering, asset-specific confidence thresholds, and automated halting mechanisms when data quality falls below defined standards. Ensure consistent sub-second submission cadence with deterministic latency.
• Cryptographic Signing & Submission: Implement a secure signing pipeline leveraging hardware security modules (HSMs) to ensure private keys remain within tamper-resistant environments. Integrate pre-submission validation checks against on-chain reference data and design an optimized submission path with minimal network latency.
• Failover & High Availability: Architect and maintain a resilient multi-site infrastructure with active/standby configurations and automated failover capabilities. Ensure failover occurs within sub-second timeframes without data loss, and implement serverless fallback mechanisms for extreme failure scenarios. Maintain high availability through load-balanced endpoints with session affinity.
• Monitoring & Incident Response: Establish comprehensive observability frameworks, including real-time monitoring of oracle latency, data source health, and quorum integrity. Implement automated circuit breakers to halt operations under degraded conditions and integrate with a 24/7 incident response and alerting system with clearly defined service level agreements.

Requirements

• Bachelors degree (minimum) in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, or a related field, top-tier university preferred
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Rust Development: Proven experience building and operating production systems in Rust with sub-100ms latency requirements. Demonstrated ability to deliver and maintain high-performance Rust applications in live environments.
• Market Data Infrastructure: Hands-on experience integrating institutional-grade, tick-level market data feeds. Familiarity with FIX protocol, exchange connectivity, and normalization of market data across multiple asset classes, including equities, FX, commodities, and rates.
• Low-Latency Systems Engineering: Experience designing and operating low-latency systems within co-located data centre environments. Strong understanding of kernel bypass networking, lock-free data structures, and cache-efficient memory design.
• HSM Integration: Practical experience integrating hardware security modules (HSMs) for cryptographic signing in production environments, including key lifecycle management, rotation policies, and adherence to security standards.
• Message Streaming Systems: Expertise in high-throughput message streaming architectures, including consumer group management, cross-site replication, and backpressure handling. Experience with technologies such as Redis Streams, NATS JetStream, or equivalent.
• Operational Reliability: Experience supporting mission-critical systems with strict uptime requirements. Demonstrated ability to implement circuit breakers, develop operational runbooks, and design systems for graceful degradation under failure conditions.
• Statistical Methods: Strong practical knowledge of robust statistical aggregation techniques, including weighted median, outlier detection, and exponential smoothing, with an understanding of their resistance to manipulation.

Preferred / Desirable Experience

• Blockchain Oracle Systems: Experience building or operating oracle systems (e.g., Chainlink, Pyth, or custom implementations), including an understanding of slashing mechanisms and incentive design for price reporting.
• Real-Time API Infrastructure: Experience developing high-throughput WebSocket and gRPC services for latency-sensitive applications such as trading systems or AI agents.
• Cloud Infrastructure (AWS): Experience designing and operating high-availability cloud infrastructure, including HSM services, serverless architectures, object storage, and service discovery with health-check orchestration.
• Traditional Finance Market Microstructure: Understanding of global market microstructure, including trading hours, session boundaries, after-hours pricing, and weekend gap dynamics across asset classes.

Location and Right to work: This role will preferably be based in our Zurich office but could alternatively be based out of our London, New York, Chicago or Hong Kong offices. Only candidates who possess the pre-existing right to work in one of the locations above without needing company sponsorship need apply.
