MGNR

MGNR is a small, highly successful proprietary trading firm. Our fully-automated trading system executes hundreds of thousands of transactions every day, totaling billions of dollars in volume. Our team (currently 10) is fully distributed across many timezones and came together over the past three years. Our tech stack is a microservice-based architecture hosted in the cloud (AWS), written primarily in Rust and some Python. We are looking for a senior (quantitative) developer to take ownership of everything performance-related at the company. The role will consist of two aspects: (i) War on latency: Use every trick in the playbook to improve the speed with which our system reacts to information. Optimize our software, hardware, and network topology to minimize our reaction time across all percentiles. Build the instrumentation necessary to monitor our system performance, identify bottlenecks, and squash them. (ii) System Architecture: Design and implement robust trade gateway frameworks as we expand our trading to new venues and roll out new strategies. Desired skillset: experience in a low-level programming language (ideally Rust), strong understanding of Unix and network protocols, a keen eye for benchmarking and tuning critical software services to achieve maximum performance, knowledge of exchange architectures, and a passion + understanding of the markets and trading.
