Description
A Software Developer (Market Setup) takes a trading venue from a signed agreement to the first live trade on our platform, then makes the next venue happen sooner.
Responsibilities
•Read the venue's specifications; list what the platform has and what is missing; estimate the setup.
•Design it with infra: colocation or proxy, lines, addresses, multicast groups, firewall rules, failover.
•Adapt our market data and order entry connectors to the venue's binary protocol: SBE, FAST, ITCH and OUCH, Eurex ETI and EOBI, LSE native, or the custom binary protocol a venue publishes for itself; sessions, recovery, throttles, reject handling.
•Pull the venue's raw product definitions and risk parameters, margin rates, price limits, lot and tick tables, position limits, in whatever form they are published, and deliver them complete to the team that normalizes them; you are their source on what the venue's fields mean.
•Convert the venue's archives and captured feeds into our format at volume; validate against live captures.
•Measure the path with hardware timestamps against the venue's figures and the strategies' budget; tune host placement, NIC and kernel bypass settings, pinning, the connector's hot path, gateway choice; record the baseline for ops.
•Pass the venue's conformance tests and ours: replay, soak, order-flow scenarios, failover.
•Write the operating instructions for the desk and ops: sessions and timings, limits, start and stop, failure modes and what to do in each, who to call at the venue.
•Walk the desk through the first day before it happens. First live trade, hypercare, handover.
