Job description
- Core Cloud Services Development:
- You are responsible for building and maintaining the core cloud services that power the Hedgineer Platform, with a strong emphasis on scalability, performance, and system readability. Your role involves close collaboration with the forward-deployed engineering team, senior leadership, and product/sales teams to ensure that our developments align with key features necessary to drive company growth.
- Full Stack Expertise and Database Design:
- Comfortable with both front-end and back-end technologies, but are primarily focused on our service and database layer. You are familiar with advanced database designs, understanding schema patterns like star schema and EAV. You manage application layers that handle both streaming and RESTful requests at scale, and oversee the seamless production deployment of these applications.
- Security and Compliance Focus:
- You implement industry-standard security practices, such as encryption and identity and access management (IAM), across all backend developments. Working closely with security teams, you conduct regular code reviews and security audits to ensure compliance with stringent standards.
- DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Management:
- You have an advanced understanding of DevOps practices, package management, and containerization of applications. Expert in utilizing cloud tooling like Lambda, Kubernetes, and Terraform, you make strategic decisions about using serverless versus containerized architectures based on project needs. You actively design and manage cloud infrastructure that is robust and cost-efficient using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) methodologies.
- CI/CD Leadership and Technological Innovation:
- You champion continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices, configuring and maintaining automated pipelines that ensure rapid delivery of new features and fixes. You also contribute to the evaluation and adoption of cutting-edge technologies, advocating for their integration to improve the platform's performance and scalability.
- Team Development and Strategic Collaboration:
- As a mentor to other developers, you guide them through complex system architectures and instill a culture of technical excellence. You maintain strong liaisons with the product management and data teams, ensuring backend systems are well-integrated with business strategies and data handling needs, which directly supports the strategic goals of hedge funds.
