Description

I'm working with a global multi-strategy hedge fund hiring a Manager, Market Data Engineering into their Data Technology team. The role owns the systems that capture, redistribute, derive and serve real-time and historical market data to investment teams across Equities, Macro, Commodities and Credit.

It's a build-and-lead role, not a maintenance one.

What's involved:

• Architecting the firm's next-generation market data platform, ingesting streaming and historical data from vendor consolidation platforms and internal APIs
• Building real-time processing and derivation engines (bars, NBBO) that need to be fast, resilient and recoverable
• Low latency C++ development
• Shipping SDKs and platform interfaces so specialist teams can plug in their own derived-data calculations
• Hiring and mentoring a team of developers and analysts
• Owning the platform roadmap directly with investment teams, translating what they need into production systems
• Chicago, London or New York
• US base range of USD 225,000 to 275,000, plus bonus and benefits

Who this suits:

Someone with 8+ years leading engineering teams and 5+ years hands-on with market data systems. You've run agile delivery for real projects, supported research or execution workflows across more than one asset class, and have a track record of production systems that stay up. Experience with Refinitiv or Bloomberg APIs is a plus, as is any comparable enterprise market data stack.

If that sounds like your background, please apply with an updated CV.
