## Description

This is a highly technical engineering role requiring deep expertise in C++, Linux, low-latency systems, exchange market data, networking, and performance optimization. The successful candidate will work directly with existing market data architectures, identify migration requirements and dependencies, validate feature parity, and optimize the target environment for high-message-rate production workloads., The engineer will partner closely with architecture, development, infrastructure, production support, and business stakeholders to deliver the migration safely and efficiently. The ideal candidate has previously built, optimized, or migrated low-latency market data or electronic trading systems and understands both the software engineering and infrastructure considerations required to achieve deterministic performance in production.
