• Provide tier-3 backend technical expertise and support for North American trading operations during active market hours.

• Continuously improve and automate CI/CD delivery pipelines, telemetry, and distributed messaging infrastructures.

RequirementsCandidate Profile & Technical Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 8+ years of dedicated backend software engineering experience with C# / .NET Core.

• Backend Mastery: Deep expertise in concurrent programming, multithreading, memory management, microservices, and high-performance server architectures.
