Senior Software Engineer – Compliance (C++)

We are seeking a highly skilled and driven Senior Software Engineer to join our partner's Trade Surveillance Platform team.

Our tech stack includes C++, Java, Python, Apache Spark (on Serverless EMR), AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SNS/SQS, and other cloud-native services.

As part of a high-impact engineering team, you'll help design and implement fault-tolerant data pipelines and services that operate on massive, time-series datasets and support real-time and batch analytics. This is an opportunity to solve challenging problems at scale in a domain where precision, performance, and reliability are critical.

• Own end-to-end feature development: from design and implementation to testing and deployment
• Build and maintain backend services responsible for data ingestion, scoring, and alerting
• Collaborate with architects and product managers to plan and execute strategic initiatives
• Modernize and extend existing detection capabilities within our current AWS-based platform
• Participate in code reviews, release processes, and ongoing production support (L2)

We're looking for engineers who combine deep technical skills with strong problem-solving instincts and a proactive mindset.

Required:

• Strong programming skills in C++, with production experience
• Experience working with distributed systems or processing large datasets
• Deep experience with Apache Spark and Spark Streaming
• Proficiency with AWS services, including Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SNS, SQS, and Serverless EMR
• Ability to take ownership, propose solutions, and drive initiatives to completion
• Strong communication skills and comfort working in cross-functional, global teams

Preferred:

• Background in capital markets, trading systems, or financial data processing
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures and real-time data workflows
• Experience with compliance, surveillance, or regulatory technology

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.

Health & Financial Security:

• Pension contributions

Time Off & Flexibility:

• Enjoy the best of both worlds: the energy and collaboration of in-person work, combined with the convenience and focus of remote days. This is a hybrid position requiring three days of in-office collaboration per week, with the flexibility to work remotely for the remaining two days.
• 25 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year, with the option to roll over unused days
• One dedicated day per year for volunteering
• Two professional development days per year to allow uninterrupted professional development
• An additional PTO day added during milestone anniversary years

We are a forward-thinking, culture-based organization with collaborative teams that promote diversity and inclusion.

We are an equal-opportunity employer. Equal employment has been, and continues to be, a required practice.
