📋 Description

• Define and own the technical architecture for Wintermute’s trading products, client-facing portals, and internal applications — making the key technology and design decisions that determine how these systems are built and scaled. • Lead and mentor a team of engineers across the full stack, setting standards for code quality, review processes, and engineering best practices. • Drive technical strategy and roadmap alongside product leadership, translating business requirements into robust, scalable technical solutions. • Architect systems that handle high data volumes, real-time streaming, and low-latency interactions — the kind of challenges you’d find on a trading platform processing millions of events per second. • Oversee frontend experience across the full customer lifecycle, from onboarding portals to real-time trading dashboards. • Work cross-functionally with product, marketing, trading, and backend engineering teams to ensure alignment and delivery. • Establish and evolve engineering processes — sprint planning, incident response, deployment pipelines — that let the team ship with confidence and speed.

🎯 Requirements

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in a technical leadership role (tech lead, engineering lead, or similar). • Proven track record of making architecture decisions for complex, data-intensive applications — ideally in trading platforms, financial services, or other high-throughput/low-latency environments. • Deep experience building and scaling real-time, high-data-volume systems (e.g., trading dashboards, live data feeds, streaming analytics, order management systems). • Strong command of the modern frontend stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js — and the ability to evaluate and adopt new technologies as needed. • Hands-on server-side experience: building and maintaining backend services, APIs, and data pipelines using languages such as Node.js, Python, Go, or similar. • Solid understanding of end-to-end system architecture: APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures, WebSockets, message queues, databases, and how frontend and backend systems work together in high-performance environments • Experience with infrastructure and DevOps fundamentals: CI/CD, cloud platforms, CDN, monitoring/observability, and deployment strategies. • Strong understanding of security best practices (OWASP, authentication/authorization patterns, secure data handling) — especially in a financial context. • Experience hiring, mentoring, and growing engineers — building a high-performing team, not just managing one.
