Re-posted 5 days ago

Job description

The financial industry is growing at a record pace, but our data providers are still stuck in the past — with cumbersome onboarding processes, complicated APIs, slow infrastructure, and expensive licensing costs.

Databento is the market data platform for modern finance. The company provides real-time and historical data across futures, options, and equities through a unified API. By owning the entire market data stack end-to-end, Databento is the first platform of its kind to combine the performance and reliability demanded by the world's leading trading firms with a dramatically simpler developer experience. Our team includes alumni of Two Sigma, Citadel Securities, Flow Traders, Tower Research, PDT Partners, SIG, and other top quantitative firms.

We're looking for a midlevel or senior IC to join our core engineering team. Our team is responsible for all things C/C++ and Rust, and the most performance-sensitive parts of our codebase. You'll be working with nearly 20 PB of data, with thousands of bare metal CPU cores at your disposal.

Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain high-performance server applications in C/C++ and Rust.
  • Write message parsers and feed handlers for direct market data feeds from trading venues.
  • Optimize existing codebase for high throughput (millions of messages per second, up to 40+ gigabits) and low latency (measured in nanoseconds).
  • Implement tools and libraries for petabyte-scale data processing and analysis.
  • Collaborate with the systems team to implement best practices for build, deployment, CI/CD.
  • Implement monitoring and improve application uptime.
  • Ensure smooth feature rollouts and updates.
Preferred background
  • 5+ years of full-time software engineering experience, preferably at a trading firm, tech company, or high-growth startup.
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ or Rust.
  • Knowledge of systems programming, algorithms, data structures, multithreading, networked I/O, serialization, CPU architecture, kernel, and compilers.
  • Experience working with multiprocess environments.
  • Comfortable with lldb/gdb.
  • Good communication skills and work ethic for a remote workplace.
  • An interest in low-level optimization and performance engineering.
  • An interest in financial data or algorithmic trading.
