[Hiring] Senior Engineer @Statar Capital, LLC

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on Senior Software Engineer, preferably based in Miami, FL. This is a senior builder role at the center of our trading stack. You will design and build the systems that connect our traders and researchers to the markets, from low-level exchange and broker gateways to the cloud infrastructure and orchestration everything runs on.

On any given day you might be writing performance-critical C++ for a trading gateway, and the next you might be deploying and orchestrating infrastructure in AWS. You will own systems end-to-end, from design through production. This role is ideal for someone who understands trading systems at a deep level, has worked closely with a trading desk, and prefers building complete systems over working on one narrow component.

A successful candidate for this role:

• Is a builder who is comfortable across the full stack, from low-level code to infrastructure
• Has designed and built complete trading systems end-to-end
• Understands how systems work under the hood, not just at the framework or API level
• Has worked closely with a trading desk and knows the markets and securities involved
• Takes ownership from design through production

Qualifications

• 5-10 years of experience building trading systems at a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or market maker
• Experience designing and building complete systems end-to-end, with a deep understanding of how they work at a low level
• Close work with a trading desk and strong knowledge of the markets and securities traded
• Modern C++ (17/20), including lock-free queues, memory layout, mmap and shared memory, profiling, sanitizers, and CMake
• Strong production Python, including services, async programming, typing, and testing
• Market data experience: exchange feeds (MBO/MBP, L2/L3 books), symbology, instrument definitions and amendments, and replay and backfill
• Order flow experience: OMS/EMS concepts, the order lifecycle, pre-trade risk checks, and the flow from fills to positions to PnL
• FIX protocol: sessions, sequence and resend recovery, broker dialects, and drop copy
• Messaging: Kafka and/or Redis pub/sub, and binary serialization (FlatBuffers, SBE, protobuf)
• SQL and Postgres, including schema design and migrations
• Ability to own infrastructure independently at an operator level: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and AWS
• Experience designing and building AI-based infrastructure, including async agents

Requirements

• Commodity and rates futures and options (energy, ags; ICE, CME, EEX)
• Vendor integrations such as Databento, Bloomberg (BPIPE, EMSX, blpapi), ICE, and Platts
• CSP or a similar streaming graph framework
• Arrow, Parquet, DuckDB, and columnar or time-series stores (QuestDB, kdb)
• Ray or other distributed compute frameworks; Airflow
• Backtest or exchange-simulator design with realistic fill models
• ArgoCD/GitOps, Prometheus, and Grafana
• Preference for on-site in Miami, FL; remote work considered.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision coverage
• Paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• 401(K) plan with employer matching
