Senior Software Engineer – Development, Infrastructure & Technical Coordination

Full-time | On-site | Zug, Switzerland

We are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to take a hands-on technical coordination role at the heart of our infrastructure transformation. This is not a project management role, it's a technical position focused on aligning and refactoring the efforts of multiple developers (remote and on-site) working on interdependent systems that require consolidation and restructuring.

We’ve accumulated significant technical debt due to a fragmented development process across teams, and are looking for someone who can refactor, streamline, and future-proof our infrastructure. Your role will be pivotal in creating a more efficient, scalable, and maintainable technical foundation for the business.

• Contribute to coding effort of specific developments.

• Contribute hands-on to development and architecture decisions.

• Implement best practices in deployment, monitoring, and code quality.

• Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies across systems and propose practical solutions.

• The goal is to render the entire technical infrastructure efficient and eliminate bottlenecks in order to allow future developments and financial market-related experimentation to occur at a much faster pace.

Qualifications

• Strong background in system architecture, infrastructure design, and refactoring.

• Strong coding proficiency in Python and C++

• Experience with API connectivity, FIX 4.4, Rest & Websocket.

• Ability to streamline coding infrastructures and restructure inter-dependent systems.

• Strong communication skills and a pragmatic mindset.

• Commercial and results driven attitude.

Requirements
