* Partner across pods (execution, risk, lifecycle) and cross-functionally with Product, CFM Risk and Ops, Finance, and Compliance to deliver correct, auditable systems and turn strategy into a roadmap.

* Mentor engineers across the team and act as a force multiplier, elevating code quality and architectural rigor.

*Required skills and experience:*

* 8+ years of backend engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex, production-grade distributed systems.

* Direct FCM or derivatives experience, with hands-on ownership of one or more parts of the futures trade lifecycle (settlement, clearing, margin/risk, order entry/routing, market data, or back office/books and records). Ion XTP or comparable exchange platform experience preferred.

* Deep proficiency in a modern backend language (Go preferred; Java or similar) and event-driven, high-availability architectures.

* Experience in a regulated or financial environment (CFTC/NFA or comparable) where correctness, auditability, and reliability are critical.

* Track record delivering end-to-end - scoping, architecture, implementation, monitoring, and iteration - including replatforming or migrating off legacy systems, while still coding hands-on and raising the quality bar.

* Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
